Current Events > How good is Unicorn Overlord?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I see its on sale for $40

It's a great game. 9/10 for me. I'd say get it

Its really good, though I havent finished it yet so I hesitate to give it a rating. Im finding it very addictive in a good way.

Threadly reminder we will never get Princess Crown.

Very good.

Oh it's on sale? I decided on getting a different game this coming week. But I did perk up some when I realized it had some ideas similar to Ogre Battle. A lot of people seem to say it is way too easy though so I dunno.

It's a great game as long as you're there for the gameplay. The story and characters aren't really anything special.

It is very much a spiritual sequel to Ogre Battle, so if you like that you'll like Unicorn Overlord pretty easily. That said, it is definitely too easy even on the hardest difficulty. Pretty much the second you figure out how to make team comps that don't suck (post the "Cavs are so OP that they auto-win" early phase) the game stops being able to stand up to you at all minus some very specific, and still easy, counter-examples. Someone even beat the final boss at level 1/2 (some characters they had to get at level 2), the game is just not designed to stand up to someone who knows WTF they're doing.

I second this

The story isnt bad or anything, but considering that this came after 13 Sentinels, the story is decent at best.

But the gameplay is fun

Pretty good, I'm surprised that the game is too easy even on the hardest difficulty. I'm only level 13-15 currently and that first chapter ending gave me high hopes. By first chapter I mean attempting to retrieve Scarlett. The boss of that chapter was surprisingly difficult, so I figured it would be a good barometer for the rest of the game.

But apparently not.

The team comps are probably the most fun. You're playing like 5 games of rock paper scissors with some results of one game influencing how others win. I like the concept of having an armored guy weak to magic being backed up by a radiant knight who nullifies all magic for my armored dude so he's able to do his job like he's supposed to. So you then have to consider how to counter the radiant knight with a gryphon knight but there's a shaman lowering your initiative to the point where their archer can now kill your gryphon knight before you can fly in and wipe them out. And that's how you get dragged into a somewhat complicated game of RPS.

I like it. It's crunchy but not too crunchy.
