Beat Unicorn Overlord

So I just finished Unicorn Overlord on PS4 last night and then got the Platinum trophy a couple hours later.

I had a real craving for a classic fantasy setting, that's why I bought it day one. (also it was an impulse buy when I was sad) It was good.

Vanillaware once again knocks it out of the park with gorgeous 2D art.

Story was not that original, but it was Genuine. The evil Empire really sucked. Liberating and restoring towns felt rewarding. Felt good to play as a righteous and noble prince who was a young man doing his best.

Characters don't get fleshed out much after they are introduced. If you don't pursue the Rapport conversations you won't get to know them. Generic units are available for hire; no personalities at all.

Combat is squad based strategy. It's simple to deal with because the action pauses whenever you are in a menu or selecting a character.

Each squad of 2-5 (very important to expand them and unlock more) is represented by one Selected leader. Cavalry leader is fast on roads bu slow in forest, infantry is average, fliers avoid traps and ground effects but are weak to arrows, etc.

I keep thinking of things to add, but I'm not being paid to write this.

I beat Unicorn Overlord. I liked it. Consider buying it and playing it so that Vanillaware can make future games.

There's a lady that's like 7 feet tall and she has a giant sword and uses a gate door as a shield. If you are a lesbian go buy the game. Her name is Amalia.
