Unicorn Overlord (Nintendo Switch) for $30

Unicorn Overlord is an outstanding fantasy tactical strategy game from Atlus and Vanillaware. If you like games such as Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, you’re in for a real treat. I myself have put over 100 hours into the game and it is easily one of my favorite games of all time. My only gripe is that I wish it was also released on the PC. Officially, IGN rated Unicorn Overload an “Amazing” 9/10 and you can read up on our Unicorn Overload review to see why this is considered to be one of the best console strategy games in recent history. Here’s reviewer Eric Zalewski’s final verdict:

“Reflecting on the incredibly diverse and remarkably creative world I explored across my 45-hour journey, any issues I had with Unicorn Overlord ended up feeling like nothing more than nitpicks. The tactical combat system is unique and complex while also being easy to understand, expertly blending mechanics from many of its peers with smart new additions of its own. The interesting terrain across the continent of Fevrith makes every fight feel unique, with some of the best map gimmicks I’ve seen in any strategy RPG. Because the campaign is told through the eyes of a diverse and creative cast, its trope-filled fantasy story is elevated in a way that a more traditional storytelling style wouldn’t manage. The shorter, more personal stories work wonderfully to support a loop of exploration and liberation that had me begging to see one more tale told, one more town rebuilt, and one more battle fought.”
