Despite its name, Vanillaware is anything but bland. The Japanese studio is known for developing cult classics that are unconventional but stand out for their visual flare. They look like playable anime with characters inhabiting lush and vibrant hand-drawn worlds. The artistry is so distinct that fans can instantly pick out a Vanillaware title from a screenshot.
Its previous work 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was a fascinating but flawed sci-fi gem. For its latest project, the team produced a high-fantasy tactical game called Unicorn Overlord. It follows the exploits of Alain, a prince whose kingdom was stolen after the rogue general Valmore betrays the Cornia kingdom and usurps the throne. Claiming to be a descendant of the Zenoiran Empire, he renames himself Galerius and takes over the world of Fevrith.
