You can save big on Vanillaware's new tactical RPG just one month after its launch.
Vanillaware's tactical role-playing game Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful mix of old mechanics and new-age graphics, with over 65 unique recruitable characters and a rich storyline.
I have the game and downloaded it going to start it tonight and play it on the Portal.
I heard great things and I am a fan of most Vanillaware games so I’m looking forward to it. Waiting for my kids to fall asleep and I’m good to go
I only played the Valkyrie profile on the DS. I'd say it's most similar to a cross between Ogre Battle and Fire Emblem.
'Unicorn Overlord' is packed with thrilling strategic challenges that reward clever thinking. Here's why it could be a future strategy classic.
In terms of game software sales, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ranks first with 310,596 copies, followed by Princess Peach Showtime! was in second place with 104,820 units, and Rise of the Ronin was in third place with 84,785 units.
In addition, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord also made it into the ranking, making the top 5 monthly software titles all new titles for the first time in 2 years and 5 months.
It also beat Dragon's Dogma 2 in the first two weeks of their release in Europe: https://www.gamesindustry.b...
And that was multiplatform too.
Considering it's not even a next gen game! According to Obscure Observer, it's not next gen if it's not UE5
What’s the total I want to know? Like it could be slow sales for that month. I’m hoping it’s total is better than FF16.
Rebirth sold 310,596 copies. Other notable games that came out in that period: Princess Peach Showtime! (104,820 copies), Rise of the Ronin (84,785 copies), Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5 version) (77,764 copies) and Unicorn Overlord (Switch version) (61,954 copies). Of course these are physical copies only, which is always the case with Famitsu sales.
Sorry I meant subtotal globally. I’m hoping it did more than 3 mill. I want this to be a success so Square doesn’t say, “Well, we spent all this money to make an amazing game and nobody bought it, so we won’t do that again.”
Yeah it looks like it did well worldwide, at least the charts that I've seen (Europe, UK, US). And also the PlayStation Store download charts. But they haven't announced any hard numbers yet.
@ shinoff: the double pack was digital only right? So no, it isn't included in those numbers.
Hoping FFXVI sold less is kinda pathetic. They already disbanded the FFXVI team to other projects and Square are working on the Rebirth follow up. Just celebrate Rebirth.
XVI has a 2023 total of 429k. Keep seething till Rebirth gets there.

Simmer down, bud. It’s ok to not like FF16 and hope an entry you liked did better. We’re in a comment section discussing sales for Rebirth. If these kind of comments trigger you, you’re more than welcome to ignore them.
It is. No one is taking into account that the double pack was eating up sales also. So you gotta combine those. I seen a reddit thread yesterday were dude broke it all down. Rebirthbis killing it despite what some would have you believe.
Some dude on reddit...100% confirmed. 🙃
Right now in Japan Rebirth hasn't sold more than XVI and also sold worse on launch. Because we are talking about Japanese sales here...
@Nyxus
I know. I am just comenting on the famitsu numbers. Which are fact. Not speculating on numbers we don't know and state Rebirth sold more FFXVI.
I don't care if it does as i like both and even prefer Rebirth but when the FXVI trolls come out on every Rebirth article i like to give them some facts.
According to Ampere, which tracks MAU, it had a daily peak user count of 2.21 million. So it's probably over 3 million by this point
It will easily beat FF 16. As FF16 didn't continue to sell as strong after the initial week.
Rise of the Ronin, Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord are all fantastic games that I would recommend to anyone one.
Don't listen to the BS about Ronin it's fantastic.
Sold out at Bestbuy.
Xbox version on Amazon is still $60.
It’s a shame they had to lower the price it’s a great game. It’s still available on Amazon for 39.99 PS5 version anyway.
I can't recommend this game and any of Vanillawares games highly enough, one of my absolute favorite studios for generations.
Three of my favorite Vanillaware games are on PlayStation Plus too.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir
Dragon's Crown Pro
I'll be honest. I used to love the sales from dailyvideogame, and those had to stop due to the rules. How does this get a pass.
