Vanillaware’s latest tactical RPG, Unicorn Overlord, released earlier this year and is already on sale for 50% off at Amazon. Walmart was offering this deal, too, but has since raised the price back to $40. Only the Nintendo Switch version is eligible for this massive discount, but you can get the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions for $40 each at multiple retailers. That said, Unicorn Overlord feels right at home on Switch, as it’s a great game for portable play–especially at its all-time low price of $30. Deals on the Switch version of Unicorn Overlord have routinely sold out faster than Xbox and PlayStation deals, and Amazon could change the price at any time.


Unicorn Overlord for Nintendo Switch — $30 ($60)

Unicorn Overlord for PS5 and Xbox Series X


Vanillaware is known for creating unique experiences that combine elements from multiple genres. The studio’s previous games include critical hits such as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Dragon’s Crown, Odin Sphere, and Muramasa: The Demon Sphere.

Unicorn Overlord might have a quirky name, but it pulled in great reviews due to its strong strategy-RPG elements and gorgeous graphics (despite a lackluster narrative). Our Unicorn Overlord review gave it an 8/10 for those exact reasons.

“The visuals in Unicorn Overlord dazzle right from the opening cutscene, with Vanillaware’s well-loved 2D art bringing a detailed fantasy realm to life,” wrote critic Heidi Kemps. “There’s so much satisfaction and gameplay depth here to sink your teeth into that you may find yourself thinking deeply about the game’s team dynamics even when you’re not playing. When the primary feeling a game leaves you with is wanting to play more of it, you know you have a gem on your hands.”

It’s also worth noting that the collector’s edition is available for $90 (was $130) for Xbox Series X at Woot. Officially called the Monarch Edition, this version is pretty darn cool, as it comes with an original Unicorn Overlord card with over 250 cards, an art boo, music album, and DLC voucher. Amazon has the collector’s edition in stock for retail price for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Nintendo Switch version is difficult to find in stock.

It’s also worth noting that the collector’s edition is back in stock for PS5 and Xbox Series X at Amazon. It clocks in at $130, but it includes tons of goodies such as an art book, music album, DLC voucher, and even an original Unicorn Overlord card game with over 250 cards.

We’re not sure how long this deal will stick around (or how long the collector’s edition will remain in stock), so head over to the retailers soon if you want to cash in on the offers.
