Then one day, months later, don't even know the reason but I put it in the 64 again and I tried playing it. I don't know how or why but something just clicked and I suddenly got it and just couldn't get enough the game. I'm so absolutely thrilled how close this is to Ogre Battle 64.

Im glad you mentioned Dragon Force. While theres no doubt that Unicorn Overlord is inspired by Ogre Battle; it is clear it also draws inspiration from Dragon Force, and most people fail to mention that. Dragon Force is a hidden gem, ine of the best SRPG of this kind, and unfortunately never made it out of SEGA Saturn.

My favorite RPG KZreadr at it again with the killer RPG content!

Lmao, game looks good and I love when RGT mentioned the demo he made sure to include all of the systems but had to edit it in. I like his style always poking fun at everyone while producing content everyday.

That aside I am happy to see Atlus making moves with marketing Vanillaware games which have historically been undermarketed and/or overlooked by consumer despite the incredibly high quality. Also good on you RPG85 for covering such a gem of a game from a gem of a studio like Vanillaware. Keep up the good work bud and I hope you enjoy this game in its entirety. If you can and find time also give 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, you may be surprised by it.

I was sad to see this one won’t be on PC/Steam at launch. I’ve got the Switch also but I’m loving my Steam Deck and would prefer to play this one there!

This game will be amazing. The demo is al ready played so much. Everything is perfect !!

This game is so well-made and besides the usual positive comments about it, it has that certain touch of vanillaware when it comes to usage of UI; The presentation, transitions and its ease of use is so buttery-smooth and quick and feels very flowy. Btw I played the demo and there's so much content that I ended up thinking that I wasn't playing a demo.

I love this game! I already preordered it!

I've never played an Ogre Battle game but the demo for htis absolutely hooked me, My preorder payment went throug hthis morning and I AM SOOO HYPED! Also put Travis in front not back, he has high evasion so he dodges attacks really well agains most classes besides archers

Bro @rgt85 great video after playing the game myself I agree you have to see it in action to understand. I preordered that collectors because this game will def be in the awards convos this year

I never expected to see a glowing preview of this game on this channel lol

Please take no offense to this. I don't call you a Nintendo KZreadr. When I describe you and Spawnwave to people. I say Spawnwave is like WWE, technical, and at times dry, you, on the other hand are ECW, edgy, fun, easy to follow, and always surprising. Keep up the good work.

RPG 85!

Looks cool, will have to check it out.

I have the collectors edition preordered. Could genuinely be the rpg of the year.

the RPG youtuber is back

Shining Force, Fire Emblem, and Dragon's Crown all rolled up into one beautiful package. This game is so good! My ONLY gripe is that I wish there was perma-death for characters. It would put more weight on bad decisions and have consequences for just rushing into battle unprepared. Some gamers don't like perma-death but I do. Also the relationship aspects could go deeper.

Thank you Atlus for reaching out to RGT! The game looks revolutionary and will be a huge influence to the genre moving forward, but it's a niche genre so getting a big content creator to show this game will give it much needed exposure

Board the ships. They often go to an island with quests or items, but I havent seen any battles on them. Some of them do have towns with unique stuff though. You can also program their moves based on whatever skills they know. But each character is limited by how many things they can do in an encounter. I found this out the hard way, after getting an awesome new weapon, one of my guys stopped self-healing and instead did an extra attack on a row. So you have to be very mindful of skill priority set ups or "gambits". This game is HEAVILY inspired by Ogre Battle (which is a good thing!) Just compare the game play or even the box art. And anyone who knows Ogre Battle knows that hidden secrets were a big thing in that game. And this one, even in the demo, seems to have its fair share of those as well. From all I have seen and played, this game surpasses the very game it pays homage to in every concievable way! And from me, that's saying something since Ogre Battle was one of my top 5 favorite games of all time from its release till today.

Just bought this for Ps5 can’t wait to get started

Finally a game to fill the void left by Ogre Battle, glad you liked it!!!

Vanilla ware never ceases to amaze me.

Unexpected review, good stuff

I had no clue this game even existed until the demo came out, hoo boy, demo sold me on it. Went from only anticipating Eiyuden Chronicle HH and Fantasy Life this year but this also hit my pre orders as soon as that demo was done.

Some people love to complain. However, I am happy that they brought tactics ogre/ogre battle to the new age.

Our favorite Nintendo RPG KZreadr!

Reminds me of the old Romance of the Three Kingdoms vibe or Genghis Khan like from KOEI. Yup definitely picking this up for the PS5 or switch lol.

do we have any info on the online component?

So if you didn't have it on switch what would be the system you get it on?

RGT tells us how he handles his unit... But seriously, I preordered this which broke my "no preorders" streak of 17 months. Thanks for the review!

I was iffy about this when initially announced due to the Game title and the combat animations. After checking out the demo and realizing it's comparable to the Ogre Battle series, definitely on my day 1 buy list.

Every Vanillaware release is FIRE, they are most definitely THE BEST at what they do

I wish it would come out on PC, this looks fab

I haven’t played the demo yet because I want to be completely fresh for me when it comes out. Ik I’ll love it already because it’s totally my kind of game I can’t wait!

Reminds me of Age of Wonders, you must try it out, excellent game. Newest one is Age of Wonders 4.

I appreciate your perspective

Vanillaware never misses tbh. + Atlas and you can't lose.

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this game

I dropped rebirth over the weekend after downloading it on ps5! I can’t put it down and today I ran from store to store to get a physical for the switch!! Now I need to get back to work!

I only have one complaint… Ambidextrous or mirrored art. Like when the character is facing right, the sword is on his right hand, when he faces left, the sword suddenly moves to his left hand.

Love the Demo, but wish there was an option for Manual Battle; Since Every Battle is Auto Battle

@@jjwhy321y3 This game plays the same way Ogre battle does. You pick the tactics and assemble the units, then let it play out. Ogre battle had 4 tactic types(Best, whatever does the most damage of the potential targets, strong, attack the unit with the most hps, weak, attack the weakest hp unit, or leader, attack the leader if possible.), and you could toggle it mid combat to influence where they attack. When you understood the system, you could more or less direct them to attack what you wanted, just with fewer clicks. Picking all the commands for each unit would only slow the game down once you have full parties.

Game is great - only thing I miss is some kind of visual progression on the characters. Weapons unfortunately do not seem to have different models (from what I've played in the demo) so characters will always look the same (you can customize the armor and hair colors, at least).

Gonna grab it for my Switch and PS5 ('cause it needs a bit of love). Just wish cross-play was an option.
