I hate how much I like this game. I played the demo through twice, and now the next week is going to be excruciating as I wait for the official release.

The only thing preventing me from playing so much is guilt from not playing the game I'm supposed to be playing and time from a busy week

I definitely might have to try this one out! I keep seeing so many I respect saying it's awesome! Thanks for this video fam! I might go try it out now!!

Definitely give the demo a try. It's substantial, I've already played 4 hours in it and still have a couple hours left I could play

I think the characters will be in side quests. In the demo you get them from side quests I think it's just that the start of the game forces you to do the first side quests to figure out how the game works so I expect later quests and characters to truly be optional. They give you one of each basic class and then you start having choice. Also you can highly customise the AI in combat to change their priorities based on conditions for each of their skills it's really really really cool to make very specific strategies.

I just discovered the AI prioritizing and I wish I had more time to play around with it in the demo. Given the way recruiting happens I foresee some challenge runs of only recruiting certain characters and trying to win anyways. Definitely some replayability options

I preorder the special edition pretty much when it was put up because i already knew i was going to like the game I was not prepared for how much i would actually like the game after playing the demo and the wait is killing me. I've already played the demo like 3 times . Its probably my game of the year right now from the demo alone

So many people are in the same boat as you and that's amazing

You should play Grand Kingdom :) There's a lot of shared DNA between Grand Kingdom, Grand Knights History, and Unicorn Overlord. They're all great games too.

This game really seems to be bringing out the references to games I've never even heard of. This could be a dangerous path to tread, but still good to know about.

UO is so beautiful! This is a pre order for sure and moved to my next game in the backlog.

It's gonna be a good time

It feels like the first retro-inspired RPG to actually advance the genre forward. Looking forward to it.

This game is the Ogre Battle that Atlus made 25 years ago that I have been patiently waiting for. I am so glad to see so many reviewers rate this game so highly when Ogre Battle 64 was not an acclaimed title, even though it is one of my favorite tactical strategy games.

4:30 "will take passive action once per battle" no, I believe that only applies to "limited" tag abilities, but imo the tutorial/game tips gloss over it so quickly it's very difficult to understand. But all other passives function the same way as actives, as long as the character has a point in either resource, they can expend it to take action.

I would have loved playing this on my steam deck oled. But switch will have to do.

Someday Vanillaware (or more likely Sega) will recognize what an untapped market they have in PC

The demo was so good. This will be a sleeper hit of 2024

Honestly, I've been on the fence about Unicorn Overlord, but think you've sold it to me here.

@CommRio 10 ай бұрын

I hope it lives up to your hopes

@takarahayashi4124 10 ай бұрын

Go play Ogre Battle 64 if you want to experience the same gameplay as this. you'll see where the inspiration came from. Atlus was once the publisher to the Ogre Battle Series in days past.

@thelegacyofgaming2928 10 ай бұрын

This game is almost exactly like Ogre Battle. Obviously far more modern of course.

Spent about 70hrs on Dragons Crown with the vita. Looking forward to this adventure. PS5 or Switch?

@marsgreekgod 10 ай бұрын

Switch if you would play on the go, PS5 otherwise

@CommRio 10 ай бұрын

I have a Switch and not a PS5 so I by default have to go Switch.

@railfe_ 10 ай бұрын

I'm leaning to get PS5 for the trophy. I might get a physical copy if I see in on sale for switch.

Yeh definitely could fall under the radar. After finishing persona 3 reload, im at the tail end of like a dragon, and I'll have ff7 in a few days. rpg's mannnn 😭 def will give this a look though considering i love fire emblem and triangle strategy. most games where you recruit characters are pretty cool honestly. assuming they've put a decent amount of effort into making the characters either appealing/likeable/hateable.

@CommRio 10 ай бұрын

The recruiting has been fun in the demo thus far and you can even customize the mercenaries you recruit as well which is a fun inclusion

Reminds me of dragon force but i doubt your old enough to know it

@CommRio 10 ай бұрын

Looked it up and I am barely older than Dragon Force but obviously wasn't playing games at that point

Porting the game on PC can be very annoying when you have a control scheme so specific to a controller which is the case for this game so I understand why they didn't ported it. It's a shame because it would have been great on steam deck

@CommRio 10 ай бұрын

Given the similarities that I noted to RTS games which are very strong on PC I think they could adapt the control scheme very well. Someone just needs to give Vanillaware a push to port their games

@sombrego2260 10 ай бұрын

It seems easy but trust me it's not. I've worked on a console port of a pc game and it's never that simple. There's a billion console games with awful keyboard shortcuts including a lot of very high budget games. Cursor is one thing but then what about literally every menu? They have a layout that was made for controller navigation and don't make as much sense with mouse and keyboard. A good example of that if how you navigate between pages whether it's changing characters in menus or switching between buildings or units in stages. The way it is done it would feel pretty clunky with mouse and keyboard. I'm not saying it's impossible, but to be done properly requires quite a bit of work and therefore money on a platform which might not sell as many copies.
