Game Ratings for Unicorn Overlord Video Game.
VG247: 4 / 5 by James Billcliffe
Standing on its own, Unicorn Overlord is an excellent expansion of Vanillaware’s now-trademark visual style and its newer RTS mechanics, offering both gripping strategy and an atmospheric pulp fantasy world that you're going to want to sink hours and hours into.
Digital Trends: 4 / 5 by George Yang
Unicorn Overlord is the strategy RPG fans of the genre have been waiting for.
PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by Joe Richards
Unicorn Overlord is yet another standout game from a revered developer that sets out to innovate on classic strategy conventions. It achieves these goals with style and substance, resulting in a game that strategy afficionados should absolutely consider jumping into. While I don't think this title is a particularly good entry point for newcomers to the genre, this game is clearly aware of its audience and it plays to those strengths. Spectacular.
