Unicorn Overlord highlights unity and delicious food in latest trailer

Vanillaware's done it again with their depictions of fantasy cuisine.

Few things are consistent in games. Studios often change and shift over the years, bringing in new ideas and retiring old concepts. But bless Vanillaware, their food has never stopped looking incredible, as the latest trailer for Unicorn Overlord shows.

The most recent entry in Atlus and Vanillaware’s series of instructional videos, introducing various gameplay elements in Unicorn Overlord, covers unity and relationships within your party. It’s a big army, and as we all know, love can—and will—bloom on the battlefield.

Allies in Vanillaware’s upcoming tactical RPG can build rapport with each other while fighting in the same unit. Eventually, this leads to both in-battle boons and off-hours conversations.

While you could just fall in love through combat, food is also a fast way to someone’s heart. And Unicorn Overlord certainly seems to have that in spa- oh my, Margherita pizza, my favorite! Vanillaware, how did you know?

In all seriousness, food has long been the secret weapon of Vanillaware’s art department, and I’m glad to see their fantasy fare has not dipped in deliciousness. Eating meals, as well as gift-giving, is another way to up those bonds and forge new ones in Unicorn Overlord.

Between all this comradery and all the possible classes that could await, Unicorn Overlord is looking like something tactics sickos should keep an eye on. We’re not far out from release, either. The latest from Vanillaware is due out on March 8 for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
