Unicorn Overlord celebrates achieving a sales milestone less than a month after the game’s launch.
Unicorn Overlord is a tactical role-playing game developed by Vanillaware and published by Atlus. The same creators are behind other games such as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere. It was initially released on March 8, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series S/X.
This is the developers’ modern take on the classic strategy RPGs from the past, now having an overworld where enemies are also present. Players would take control of Alain, an exiled prince taking the lead of the Liberation Army in a campaign across Fevrith. They would also encounter new characters whom they could recruit to join their army.
The Accolades Trailer was posted on Atlus’ official YouTube channel to celebrate selling over 500,000 copies of the game worldwide.
The video showed some of the gameplay, character design, and art of Unicorn Overlord. This also noted the many praises that the game received from the various European and American media.
The game received high ratings from the media, the majority being 9 out of 10 or 4.5 out of 5. As CBSNews stated, “Any fan of classic tactical RPG should adore this game,” and another one from IGN, “One of the most impressive strategy RPGs I’ve played in years.”
Fans of games such as Fire Emblem should try Unicorn Overlord. Although it’s not entirely the same, as there aren’t the familiar tiles where players can place the characters, it’s a modern take on the genre. Players would encounter different characters with unique classes that have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to you to place them strategically in teams.
Unicorn Overlord will be one month old on April 8, and it is already achieving great feats, like its impressive sales record. Stay tuned for more Unicorn Overlord news and guides here on Level Push!
