Vanillaware’s latest tactical RPG, Unicorn Overlord, made its debut earlier this month and is already receiving a significant discount at both Amazon and Walmart.
Currently, you can snag this newly released game for just $52.78, down from its original price of $60. This marks the first price reduction since the game’s launch on March 8th, presenting an opportune moment to embark on this adventure.
Renowned for their ability to blend elements from various genres, Vanillaware has crafted numerous critically acclaimed titles, including 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Dragon’s Crown, Odin Sphere, and Muramasa: The Demon Blade.
Despite its whimsical title, Unicorn Overlord has garnered praise for its robust strategy-RPG mechanics, and stunning visuals, albeit with some criticism directed towards its narrative. In our review of Unicorn Overlord, it earned a solid 8/10 rating, primarily for its standout features.
“Critics have been captivated by Unicorn Overlord’s breathtaking visuals, showcased from the very first cutscene, where Vanillaware’s signature 2D artistry breathes life into a meticulously crafted fantasy world,” noted reviewer Heidi Kemps.
“The game’s depth and gratifying gameplay mechanics will keep players engrossed, even outside of actual gameplay sessions. When a game leaves you yearning for more, you know it’s a standout title.”
Regrettably, this discounted price is exclusively available for the Xbox version of the game, with copies for the Switch and PS5 still offered at full retail price. However, there is some silver lining, as the collector’s edition is now back in stock for all consoles on Amazon.
Priced at $130, this edition boasts an array of additional content, including an art book, music album, DLC voucher, and an original Unicorn Overlord card game comprising over 250 cards.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the duration of this discount (and the availability of the collector’s edition), interested buyers are encouraged to act swiftly and take advantage of these offers before they expire.
