Unicorn Overlord review

System: Switch
Release date: March 8, 2024
Developer: Vanillaware
Publisher: Atlus


It’s not very often you find a developer that is so truly passionate about their game that they will fund it out of their own pocket when the budget runs out, so determined are they to realize their creative vision that money ceases to be a factor. But this is par for the course for Vanillaware, who have delivered consistently excellent titles for over twenty years now. With Unicorn Overlord, a game ten years in the making, the company has crafted one of the most intricate, engaging, and mechanically dense tactical RPGs I’ve played in years.

Super Mario Maker beaten all levels

Just a few weeks left to go before the game shuts down, Super Mario Maker players have managed to beat all of the game’s courses.

The Last Dance was the final level that was uncleared. However, that actually happened last week. A user going by the name Yamada_SMM2 managed to beat the stage, which took place on March 15.
