Tactical RPG 'Unicorn Overlord' Demo Gallops Onto eShop, Save Data Carries Over

This is another game that I downloaded the demo for a couple minutes ago. Honestly looks pretty good.

I love Vanillaware's games and style a lot so I'll definitely be checking out this demo. I might just delete my save file since I don't get to buying games right away so I'll probably forget where I am, but I'll definitely play to get a feel for the combat

My switch has been quite busy downloading demos…🥳

Definitely will be trying the demo this weekend.

Already playing this demo... and it's quite enjoyable. Just took a short break and it's really fun so far. I also played the demo of Contra: Operation Galuga and it's great!!

On a more subdued note, the demo of Pepper Grinder isn't bad, but it doesn't have enough oomph to enter my wishlist.

Final Fantasy XII tactics!

Downloading....

We will be downloading.

This game is going to eat up a good chunk of my gaming time. Looking forward to it

massive Ogre Battle 64 vibes on this one

Anyone who played the demo who can tell us how long it is, approximately?

@Sarkos A Youtuber I watch started livestreaming the demo immediately after it came out.

It's been about 3 hours since then as I write this comment.

He's still playing it.

EDIT: I've seen the timer on his stream. Looks like the game lets you have 8 or 10 hours of overall playtime, not counting time on the pause menu or asleep.

So far it's everything I'd hoped for!

@OwenOtter Oh wow, that's much longer than I expected. Gonna leave it for later then. xP

@Notsoavid Tactics is in Ivalice, so that is kind of already the case.

The game is excellent based off the demo. It went from a "I'll buy it at some point" to a "Okay, let's pre-order the Collector's Monarch Edition" for me. It runs flawlessly on Switch too. Props to Vanillaware for optimizing their Switch releases.

@somnambulance I saw your rating of Worldless and I'd like to ask - what were your issues with it?

@LikelySatan lol touché, that is accurate, I was just making a joke about the gambit-like system present in Unicorn Overlord.

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. I will download in a few minutes.

@Notsoavid Tactics is the dream HD 2D remake, right? I love FFT to death. I should play through it again...

Played the demo and definitely getting this on PS5. Way too much tiny info to play on a Switch Lite.

@somnambulance Alright. Thanks for your time.

There is a lot going on with the systems at play here but it’s starting to gel. Wish there wasn’t a time limit though. Would’ve preferred the queen as the protagonist but oh well.

Edit: yeah this game is too good. Eagerly awaiting release day.

@msvt broooo it is isnt !??! The only thing i hate is the time limit. Hope they remove that.

@Sarkos
I finally played enough of the demo yesterday for a definitive answer on it's scope.
The demo starts with the first 3 battles of the game, then once the open world... er... opens... a 5 hour timer begins that ticks down during in-game running time (as in, not while the menus are open, only during travel and battle and maybe dialogue).
Not a bad free sample. Will tide me over quite well the next week out of only 2 til main game launch!
