When I embarked on the world of Fevrith in Unicorn Overlord, I felt a wave of nostalgia like I was playing an RPG from the 90s. The tactical gameplay and charming art style transported me to a familiar era of genre classics that I love. Despite its generic story, the game offers an incredibly fun battle system with plenty of customization options for its characters.
Liberating the world
Unicorn Overlord starts off with a strong premise and clear goal, but the story tends to drag at times. While the plot twists may be predictable, the game shines in its strong interpersonal relationships between the wide cast of heroes.
It’s a party in the Liberation Army
The diverse roster of 60 allies in Unicorn Overlord adds depth and immersion to the game. Rapport Conversations provide entertaining insights into each character’s personality, adding value to their stories. The absence of a central hub enhances the open-world feel of the game.
Crunching the numbers
Unicorn Overlord‘s gameplay excels with deep combat mechanics and customization options. The battle system, inspired by classics like Ogre Battle, offers a unique and nuanced experience. Technical issues aside, the game provides a strategic RPG experience that will appeal to genre fans.
Unicorn Overlord was tested on PlayStation 5.
