10. Unicorn Overlord
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S
The front-runner for 2024's Best-Worst Name Award, this tactical RPG comes from the always-intriguing minds at Vanillaware.
If you aren't familiar with the company, they're the people behind 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, a brilliantly idiosyncratic masterpiece that deserved a hell of a lot more recognition than it got. Which may explain Unicorn Overlord's daft title - if nothing else, it certainly grabs your attention.
After conquering visual novels with 13 Sentinels, Vanillaware look set to bring their signature style to the tactical RPG genre and the results look mouth-watering. Vanillaware are master pixel-polishers, and their signature 2D art style has resulted in some of the greatest-looking games ever made. 2007's Odin Sphere still looks stunning today.
Vanillaware have found success at every genre they've turned their hands to, and Unicorn Overlord will surely continue their run of form.
