Review ★ Roundup

90 – CGM

Unicorn Overlord combines the stellar Vanillaware aesthetic in a tactical RPG experience that feels like a modern classic in the making.

90 – Destructoid

Unicorn Overlord is Vanillaware’s custom-built device for capturing the heart of anyone who’s loved watching tiny units bash against each other on a map. It puts a lot of love into each of those units, from what they do and how you can manage them, to their art and direction, down to making each new addition feel impactful.

90 – Push Square

This is an immaculate and deeply engaging strategy RPG; the best example of the genre that we've played in years.

90 – IGN

Unicorn Overlord is a visual delight that's brimming with creativity, and an absolute must-play for any fan of strategy RPGs.

90 – Nintendo Life

It’s a smorgasbord of visual delights, intricate systems, and addictive gameplay loops that all come together to create a delightfully thrilling and deep tactical RPG

Unicorn Overlord is a fantastic strategy game that is both gorgeous as it is fun.

Unicorn Overlord is yet another standout game from a revered developer that sets out to innovate on classic strategy conventions.

90 – Twisted Voxel

Unicorn Overlord blends Vanillaware's signature artistic flair with a complex combat system reminiscent of Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, set against the backdrop of a rich high fantasy narrative.

90 – The Gamer

As a long-time TRPG fan, Unicorn Overlord is everything I wanted it to be and more. I suspect that some people will read this review and think that it sounds tedious, but that’s the thing about games that deliver such a focused experience: they aren’t going to appeal to everyone.

80 – VG247

VanillaWare returns from the success of Aegis Rim: 13 Sentinels to deliver a toybox of action figures, with the strategic depth of chess.

80 – Eurogamer

Vanillaware's beautiful art brings to life a staggeringly deep strategy RPG where building units is just as fun as orchestrating battles.

80 – Gamespot

Despite an uninspired narrative, Unicorn Overlord impresses with gorgeous visuals and engrossing strategy action.
