Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord Tactics RPG Blends 13 Sentinels Combat with Strategic Battles
- Unicorn Overlord is a new tactics RPG from Vanillaware that builds on the combat systems of 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim.
- Gameplay involves managing multiple units on a battlefield and using strategy to win rather than relying on power alone. Character placement in units is key.
- Influences seem to range from Fire Emblem to Final Fantasy XII's gambit system. Frantic but strategic battles ensue.
- Story seems boilerplate so far, with the focus being on recruiting new units to aid your rebellion. Vanillaware's art style shines through.
- After some repetitive recent entries in the genre, Unicorn Overlord shakes up strategy/tactics RPGs with intricate and exciting battles.
