Superb Strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord Tops 1 Million Sales | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Released back in March of this year on PS5 and PS4, Unicorn Overlord has officially broken through 1 million sales — an impressive (and well deserved) benchmark for developer Vanillaware. Last we heard, the strategy RPG had shifted half a million units within a month or so, making it one of the fastest — or possibly the fastest — selling Vanillaware title to date. That's an additional 500,000 sales in the last five months, then, which bodes well.

For what it's worth, we reckon Unicorn Overlord remains one of 2024's best games. We gave it an 'excellent' 9/10 in our Unicorn Overlord PS5 review, and it'll likely be in contention for our Game of the Year awards in December.

«It's hard to say whether Unicorn Overlord is objectively Vanillaware's best game, but for us, it's right up there, competing for the crown — and that's incredibly high praise,» we wrote.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and 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, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I still have to play that. Vanillaware artwork is always top notch

I got a PS5 copy but haven't played it yet, fingers crossed I get round to it before Xmas but not sure, not even onto Astrobot yet, the backlog is real!!!

I was genuinely shocked at how much I liked it I love how vanillaware just moves onto different genre's of games with each title and each come out so good

It's been on my backlog since launch.
AstroBot and Ghostwire Tokyo are between me and it atm, but after those two I have nothing else until Dragon Age on Christmas Day. I plan to fill in
