Unicorn Overlord, developed by Vanillaware (13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim) and published by Atlus & Sega, is a tactics RPG that will no doubt draw comparisons to Fire Emblem from even those casually acquainted with the genre. Aesthetic, gameplay design, character interactions and story all appear at least vaguely reminiscent to the storied FE franchise – but what's present in this game is much more than just an imitation. Through its own complex and engrossing systems, Unicorn Overlord is a legitimate competitor in a space that's been dominated by one entity (at least in the mainstream) for far too long.
