Story and Characters
A bloody revolution upsets the balance of power amongst the five nations on continent of Fevrith. Having been forced to flee his home during the ensuing turmoil, Alain, the prince of Cornia, is chosen to lead the Liberation Army in an effort to regain freedom for his people.
Among Alain's closest allies are his childhood friend Lex, the holy knight Joseph, and the priestess Scarlett. Recruit over 60 characters, among them not only humans, but also elves, beasts, and angels, and customise your units to gain the upper hand in battle.

Exploration
Unlike in most tactical RPGs, you don't just choose your next destination on a map and load into distinct levels to battle in. Unicorn Overlord features an open world you are free to explore at your leisure, with battles taking place seamlessly on the overworld. Reclaim towns, do some side quests – where you go and which order you tackle it all is entirely up to you! As you liberate the world, new quests and allies will become available, and new facilities such as armorers and provisioners will be unlocked.
Socialization and Interactions
Like in other SRPGs, the higher the bonds between individual characters, the better they work as a unit in battle. Unicorn Overlord's implementation of this system is called rapport. There are different ways to strengthen the bonds between characters, such as having them fight together or share meals. If you played the recent Fire Emblem games, you will be familiar with the general idea.
Unit Customization
With a variety of different classes and skills to choose from, unit customization is bound to take up a great deal of your time! Making sure you are leading well-equipped and properly balanced units into battle will make all the difference, and preparation is key!
Battles
Phase 1: Real-time combat on the battle stage
The first phase of battle takes place in real time in the overworld, and it's where you as a player can actively make a difference. Command the movement of your units and make strategically important key decisions.
Phase 2: Turn-based auto battle
Once your unit makes contact with an enemy unit on the battle stage, the second phase begins. This one sees your units battle the enemy in a turn-based fashion. Skills are automatically used as predetermined by the tactics and other conditions you set when customizing your units.
Online Functionality
The Coliseum allows you to prove your prowess as a commander in PvP matches, both off- and online, so bring your best units and your most cunning strategical maneuvers to show your friends a thing or three!
