For those unfamiliar with the game, it is a tactical RPG from Vanillaware, a studio best known in the present for 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Dragon’s Crown, but historically is best known for Odin Sphere. The studio has been around in one form or another since 2002, and shipped many great RPGs since.
“Liberate your kingdom, reclaim your destiny,” reads an official pitch of the game. “From the masterminds that brought 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere, Atlus x Vanillaware presents the rebirth of tactical fantasy RPG. Fight against fate and embark on a royal adventure to regain your reign alongside trustworthy allies. Unicorn Overlord combines the timeless tactical RPG genre with overworld exploration and innovative battle system for a unique epic fantasy experience in the iconic Vanillaware style.”
How long these deals will be available, we don’t know. This is not a price cut, so it is a limited time offer, and possibly only as supplies last. To this end, GameStop has noted the item is currently a “hot seller” so if supply is low the deal may not be available for long. As for a PS4 version, the game is only available digitally on PS4, and all these deals are for physical copies, hence why there is no PS4 deal at the moment.
