Whatcha all been playing!

I've been playing a lot of slay the spire, finally got a heart win with ironclad, leaving only the watcher without one. Also finished the true ending for animal well which was a blast!

Put a shocking amount of time into Unicorn Overlord last week.

I think they executed the cross between Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle very well. Squad composition makes up for the lack of individual customization that is typical of the FE lineage of strategy RPGs (as opposed to the FFT/Tactics Ogre line). The overworld management is a fun exploration side activity that isn't as time-consuming as Three Houses's social stuff. Basiscape brought its usual excellent soundtrack, and Vanillaware their usual impressively detailed art. Plot is whatever, I don't play these games for the plot, I play them to make anime sprites stab each other so numbers go up. So, yeah, it's fun.

(No, I don't actually like Disgaea that much, mostly because "figuring out how to break the game is the game" doesn't appeal to me.)
