In the trailer, the knight Josef instructs the game's protagonist, Alain, on what is needed to save the world from the Empire's domination. Alain learns about the vast continent of Fevrith, the challenging quests he will encounter and how to free the cities to their former glory.

Day one

 

[Celcius]

The fact they they've announced this for every single console but no PC has me wondering if I should hold off because they plan to try to get folks to double dip down the line. Usually they just release for one system at a time. Hmm...

I'm console player only so for me getting this day one is most obvious choice, still they haven't released any of their past games on PC so there is no guarantee they will release Unicorn Overlord on PC.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Finally! A game worth getting on day one.

Finally! A game worth getting on day one.

Vanillaware games always worth getting day one.

Vanillaware, FromSoftware and Monolith Soft are my ALL TIME favourite devs and I have 120% trust in them and will buy their games day one, no question.

 

[KimDongHwan]

Love Vanillaware, how many genres have they tried already? Loved them all

I'm with ya for two out of three of those. Not the biggest FS fan tbh. I'd replace them with Nintendo.

I recently replayed GrimGrimoire and I'm not type of person who enjoys RTS games but Vanillaware managed to make it fun and working well on consoles.

I also LOVED the familiar designs you can summon in this game. so much so that I want one day Atlus bring them to design some Demons for next SMT games.

You're right, good point

Seems to be a really deep strategy RPG. Supposedly a dream project of the director/programmer/lead artist guy. My most anticipiated game of the year.

 

[Hudo]

Can you go for the harem ending? Uniting everyone by marrying all the princesses?

 

[Shut0wen]

Wheres the gameplay?

Said this before, but vanillaware is top tier with regards to in-game food cuisine lol.

Dragon Crown already have an amazing food mini game, so I expected this game to follow.

Dragons Crown food mini-game is one of most fun and engaging mini-games they ever created. Its a mini-game that rewards you for cool play and the best of all, the food looks pretty and yummy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Is perma death in this game?

The foods looks good as ever but can we talk about this background art....

MY GOD, the background so fucking gorgeous!

I don't usually play with EN VA, but those are decent, unlike Stellar Blade with was terrible IMO.

So, will be funny change VA on fly, but I do main use japanese VA.

For this game‘s setting it makes sense for me to play it in English, meanwhile I played 13 Sentinels in Japanese because its Japanese setting.

Game is looking good, I am swimming in jrpgs right now so I'll probably have something to play right into its release. I love vanillaware but this is the least excited I am for one of their games. I like the battle visuals alot but outside of battles I am not sure if I like the RTS look they've got going.

Also I am still playing their last game 13 sentinels... i got it on release. Great game but might be a bit too long for what it is. I chip away at it every couple months or so because the story is bonkers but ya I still need to finish that.

It’s not RTS, its squad based strategy game similar to Ogre Battle.

I get that but to me it looks rts lol (admittedly I don't play rts). I am a big fan of the tactics ogre games but never played the ogre battle games, I always wondered why ogre battle never received rereleases like tactics ogre

I’m guessing they thought it was too niche for western audiences? I personally super hyped for this game, it’s SRPG game inspired by Ogre Battle with Vanillaware‘s signature artstyle, its dream game for me.

I also find Vanillaware games very fun, I’m also so not in to RTS games but I strangely really enjoyed GrimGrimoire, I even recently replayed it on harder difficulty.

Yup. Sign me up
