Unicorn Overlord

Unicorn Overlord is a strategy-RPG that combines real-time strategy warfare with turn-based tactical auto-battles. It's set in the war-torn fantasy world of Fevrith, and stars an exiled prince of a conquered kingdom. The story follows Prince Alain's return to the mainland to take back his country with the help of alliances with friends and neighbors.

Between battles, players can freely roam the overworld map, exploring new towns and finding secrets and goodies. Most new areas feature side quests and battles. Starting a battle shifts into a real-time strategy mode where players deploy their units, directing their movement and special skills. When opposing units clash, the game shifts into a turn-based tactical mode, watching both sides execute their programmed moves and abilities, all of which can be customized before the battle.

Unicorn Overlord features Japanese indie studio Vanillaware's signature eye-catching anime art style, and a huge roster of recruitable characters. The SRPG gameplay is inspired by Ogre Battle and Fire Emblem.
