Unicorn Overlord is one of many great games that debuted during March. But next to Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Princess Peach: Showtime!, it’s possible that Vanillaware’s latest game flew under your radar, despite the developer’s stellar pedigree for RPGs. You definitely shouldn’t miss out on it now that it’s $20 off, costing $39.99 at Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5.
Like Vanillaware’s previous title, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Unicorn Overlords is presented in a gorgeous, painterly style that has become a signature look for the studio — oh, and there’s a lot going on.

However, this game piles on a lot more content that, according to our reviewer, is paced well enough to tempt you to explore all of it.
