March 8 is not far off now. But for those a little too impatient for then, a small slice of Unicorn Overlord is on the way for Switch owners today through a demo, to tide you over until then.


Announced during today's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord is getting a demo for Nintendo Switch today. Mysteriously, though Unicorn Overlord is also heading to PlayStation and Xbox Series consoles, only the Switch has been confirmed for a demo. Even outside the Direct, publisher Atlus' upload of the trailer only cites the Switch.


You can find the listing, with the demo live now, here on the eShop.

That may be bad news for any non-Switch owners looking to get tactical before March 8. Good news for the Switch folks, though: save data will convert over to the main game, so no losing any progress you make in the demo.


Don't lord it over me

It's nice, at least, to see a demo out for this, and with save data carrying over too. It feels like we've seen a lot more of these over recent years, and for big RPGs, it's an especially nice feature. A good way to dip your toe in without committing the full way.


And there looks to be quite a bit to commit to in Unicorn Overlord. The latest game from 13 Sentinels and Dragon's Crown studio Vanillaware sees the team tackling tactics, with battles reminiscent of both Ogre Battle and Final Fantasy XII's Gambit system, somehow.


It could be a big game to dig into, so having a little time to check it out now amongst a slew of other demos and games hitting the Switch is nice. If you end up digging it, the full game of Unicorn Overlord arrives on March 8, 2024 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
