Unicorn Overlord has that gameplay loop which totally absorbs me in and I can't stop. The idea to create an unstoppable team with the variety of items you can purchase, liberate towns, clear tough battles, and get stronger while fighting back against what seems a nigh impossible situation is truly fun. The experience is phenomenal to me and I could yap how much I love the classes and the cool shit you can probably do with it if you dig deep with it, but it'd probably be long. SO why is it a 3.5/5 stars? Simply because the story. The story is pretty generic, and you have to go through a 100+ hours of this. Sure, i love consuming my rpg games like its a king-class meal and some of the characters, but they don't have much depth to them. I do like the character-specific interactions though! Yet, this is not enough. If you're gonna make me sit through a plot like this you might as well should try make it interesting, and it fails at that for me. Well, at least the voice acting performance makes for it; they did an excellent job with it.

Unicorn Overlord is not a bad game, it just has a grasping flaw with the story. It has that classic fantasy rpg spirit and inspiration from a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, but doesn't sell much on it with the story. I seriously would've considered giving this a 4.5/5 stars for how good that gameplay was, but the story kind of nags at me because I wish it was good. I love a good rpg with good gameplay, but somethings can just disappoint you greatly more than others. Still, I'd love to replay again in the future for how enjoyable the gameplay is.
