The recent demo for Atlus and Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord showed off its new Tactics system, which bears a striking resemblance to a classic JRPG.

Ahead of Unicorn Overlord's launch on March 8, players itching to try out Vanillaware and Atlus' new tactical-RPG have a lengthy demo now available. Unicorn Overlord's demo went live on February 21, giving players a sizable chunk of gameplay while walking them through most of the game's most important systems. One of the aspects of the game on full display is Unicorn Overlord's homage to the TRPG greats of the SNES and PlayStation eras, but a surprise system introduction in the latter parts of the demo actually calls to mind a now-classic JRPG as well. Unicorn Overlord's Tactics customizations bear a striking resemblance to Final Fantasy 12's Gambits.
