Unicorn Overlord review
Exceptional
by MrSpanky

Masterpiece of technical combat, party building on top of one of the most beautiful maps to explore.

Future classic that will be taken as reference by the next gaming generations.

100 hours of just one playthrough, plus countless multiple replays with different party setups and difficulties.

Only real issue is the stereotypical medieval/royalty/chosen-one boring story.

Unicorn Overlord is a tactical RPG like Fire Emblem, but with a more unique combat system where you have 60+ characters and form squads with them to fight in real time combat. The combat system is interesting and unique and I like the huge volume of characters. The game is also very long, it took me around 70 hours to finish everything, which is a plus to me. 

Overall the game got me hooked, but it does have its downsides. The story is pretty lame and it doesn't recognize your progress. Every enemy you meet is very arrogant towards your army, even if you freed half the map from the evil empire's control. There is no point at which an enemy is concerned at your progress, even though you are rolling with your unstoppable army from kingdom to kingdom. The protagonist is also TOO virtuous, think of a "good" quality and the guy's got it: humble, kind, noble, etc., he is too much.
Vanillaware does it again!
