Famitsu has published a gameplay video of Vanillaware-developed strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord, showcasing eight minutes of the PlayStation 5 version in action.

The video description reads: “This ultra-royalistic adventure tale of gathering friends and confronting a great evil is depicted with Vanillaware’s unique high-definition graphics and characters, highly flexible field exploration, and innovative simulation battles. While reminiscent of the classic simulation RPGs of the 1990s, the game incorporates modern elements such as a unique battle system and online battles.”

Unicorn Overlord is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Switch on March 8, 2024 worldwide.

This looked... pretty bad. The battle gameplay on the map.

Yeah, that's still a day one for me.

I mean it's Vanillaware, so I'm gonna buy it, but I hope they include a x2 speed for the battles instead of just skipping them altogether (outside of story stuff).

Art is gorgeous as always. I really like the idea of predicting pathing and choke points to force encounters and stuff. Cool ideas. It'll be neat if you can do stuff like bait enemy units and then retreat/flank them.

Still wish it was a more direct input type combat, but you can't have everything I suppose.

I don’t know what the hell is going on but it sure is pretty.

No PC seems perfect for the Deck.

 

[ranmafan]

Looking real good to me. The game is really heading up high on my most anticipated list for next year.

 

[Kusarigama]

Artstyle is just (as usual) gorgeous. But I don't understand why the screen cuts from player side to enemy side when we are attacking and so on? That is a bit jarring for me. They could have just zoomed in and out with both parties showing on same screen.

We'll see when it comes out. Btw when is it coming out?

Here's another gif with the melon physics in action.

In the video it looks like some of the fights are really sped up so it seems like you can fast forward in battles

It great for people who wants it but I personally never going to skip or speed up battle animations, I never did it in Fire Emblem games and especially wont do it here, when looking this gorgeous its fucking crime against HUMANITY to skip it…..but thats just me.

Vanillaware's game always look great but, to me, animate very stiffly.

You can see they animate with a system that depends on joints, im not expert on the subject, but to me its uncanny.

its like they animate paper cutouts, and it makes sense, they draw their characters flawlessly.

 

[Fake]

This is what I looking for.

 

[AJUMP23]

Not for me. If you like it, that is great.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This is what I looking for.

If there's any game that's worth a day 1 buy it's a new Vanillaware release.

 

[KiteGr]

Looks like Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia if it was more traditional.

 

[Saber]

Looks damn cool. The open part reminds me of Shinning Force 3 for Saturn. I like it!

 

[cireza]

Brigandine is excellent and offers very good strategy. I am not expecting the same thing from Vanillaware, but we will see.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Thought thread title said Unicron, and I got all hyped for a Unicron origin story game.

This looks decent, but I'd rather have a Dragon's Crown follow up.
