Very cool game. Great artwork, cute girls, fun gameplay, a tad repetitive, yep it's vanillaware. Aside from the RTS aspect and focus on groups in battle it really felt like a classic Fire Emblem experience with a lot of similar story beats and mechanics which was very nostalgic. My only notable issue with the game is that there are so many actions being taken in battle, particularly in the late-game, that even with the fast-forward button watching the battles can take forever. This leads to a lot of skipping which is a real shame given how much work they put into the sprites and animations but the maps are still fun regardless. Along with the lengthy battles, the abundance of characters also makes regularly outfitting everyone and setting up their skill priorities kind of a chore. Thankfully the game was pretty easy overall so I didn't really have to put much thought into these but it does make me wonder if a smaller-scale Unicorn Overlord would've been a tighter experience.
