It's a bit of a stretch, but a question in a newly released player survey suggests that Atlus and Vanillaware are at least trying to gauge interest in a potential sequel to Unicorn Overlord — the immaculate strategy RPG that launched just last month.
Said survey queries players on their experience with the game, and their knowledge of similar titles. Then, one of the last questions simply asks if you'd be interested in a sequel, if such a thing ever came to be. Naturally, we answered very likely, so hopefully Atlus gets the message.
However, solely based on Vanillaware's history, a sequel does seem somewhat unlikely. For whatever reason, the developer is always trying something new. In just the last decade, it's gone from Dragon's Crown to 13 Sentinels to Unicorn Overlord — three very different kinds of games.
But would you take a Unicorn Overlord 2, eventually? Start dreaming in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
Better to do something new then make sequels, personally. I feel Vanillaware has that sweet spot with their art direction and gameplay to not feel the need to keep making a second game in their lineup of IPs.
I've had a lot of fun with Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels in the past.
An absolutely resounding yes!!
