Atlus and Vanillaware have announced that a free demo is now available for Unicorn Overlord ahead of its full release next month. Players can convert saved data to the game’s full release state. Plus, you can get early peaks at the story and gameplay content to see if it’s all in your vein of enjoyment. It’s worth noting that this demo seems exclusive to the Switch.
Unicorn Overlord is an ambitious new release by Vanillaware, known for many smash-hits, like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Odin Sphere, and Muramasa The Demon Blade. And in an unexpected turn from the developer, this will be a tactical adventure.
The story is set on the continent of Fevrith, comprised of five nations that face war due to a general from Cornia. The prince, Alain, flees as subjugation occurs, eventually becoming the leader of the Liberation Army a decade later. Alongside a vast cast of over 60 characters, the gameplay mechanics are extensive. Players can anticipate various quest types, which each impact the world in several ways, social activities to get to know the playable characters more intimately, town liberation and rebuilding, and even an online PvP mode to test your strategical mettle.
