As a big fan of the Fire Emblem titles and 13 Sentinels, I was very excited with the announcement of Unicorn Overlorld. And after I completed it I have to say that Unicorn Overlord improves everything from the FE formula.

In this game you will control several units in real time strategy battles. Each unit is formed by various characters, and their stats, equipment, skills and disposition will decide the outcome of the battles . There are a HUGE number of character classes, and overall, there are almost limitles strategies to face the fray.

The main world map its not only used to navegate to the different main and secondary missions. After you became succesfull of the battle, the disputed territory will become yours. Freeing the world from enemy hands is very satisfying and makes sense to the game's story.

Sometimes I feel the game can be a little bit tedious. Your army has an excessive amount of soldiers and equipment, which makes you spend a lot of time on menus. The battle skills priority system can feel overly complex and unintuitive, many times a character will performing poorly in battles without you knowing whats wrong.

The game's story its alright, but has an irregular rhythm. The characters of the game aren't to complex, but they have charisma. Also the game sprites and animation looks amazing, and the soundtrack is good.

Finally I have to say that the game is perfect to play on a handheld console, being able to play short games without much complications
