Comment of the game producer
Thanks to your kind support.“Unicorn Overlord” won Japan Game Awards for Excellence.
I am so honored and pretty much overwhelmed because my dream to create a fantasy of sword and magic came true and because we receive such an honorable award.
We packed what we wanted to do as much as possible into this game and felt anxious, wondering if this was accepted.
We were afraid of checking reputation and cautiously did so when a trial version was distributed. But when we saw people enjoy the game, we felt refreshed.
After ten years of groping, we are extremely happy to enjoy reading your comments.
Encouraged by the award we received this time, we will continue to push on to better game production.
Finally but not least, we really appreciate all who are involved in this game and those who picked it up. Thank you.

Director of Unicorn Overlord
It is a real pleasure to be selected for an honorable award.
I have read passionate comments of those who voted for us and my heart is full of emotion now.
We started to plan “Unicorn Overlord” with Director Noma because I like SRPG so much.
We created this game, hoping as many people as possible enjoy the game and find the SRPG is attractive and interesting. I am so grateful for being highly evaluated and receive the award.
Basiscape created a magnificent and elegant sound. Voice actors brought characters to life with their great performance. Atlas kindly supported us for as long as 10 years.
Staffs developed the game in unparalleled enthusiasm and commitment.
Thanks to everyone involved, we could create the best game.
We are so glad that people play the game.
Thank you from all of my heart!
