Not feeling it. I've generally liked Vanillaware's output, but Unicorn Overlord has been boring me to tears. The one thing you can usually always count on in their games is inventive visuals, and yet this is nothing but the most Generic Fantasy you can imagine.
Switching from an almost entirely narrative-based game, 13 Sentinels, to one where the narrative seems to be an afterthought at best might work if the story had any interesting hooks whatsoever. The battles seem fine, I guess, but there's nothing in here that compels me to press on. Oh boy, more knights rambling on in faux Olde Timey talk, giving me flashbacks to the drudgery of Final Fantasy Tactics. No thanks.
Biggest disappointment of 2024, even if I only found out it existed a couple of months ago. Not enough huge jugs, either.
