‘Go back and don’t disturb me’
Former leader of the Samgaksu mercenary group. He is revered as a man of outstanding ability, and soon after his founding, he developed a powerful mercenary group. One day, he suddenly announces the disbandment of the mercenary group and disappears.
‘I am… Yes, a wanderer named Aramis.’
A mercenary from Drakengard hired by the Zenoir Army. He speaks with a noble tone that is unbecoming of a mercenary, but his swordsmanship skills are real.
■ Interaction with characters
You can build friendships with colleagues you welcome as allies, regardless of gender, through battle or meals. As the relationship deepens, you can see benefits such as special conversations or improved power when forming the same unit.
● Intimacy
The depth of the relationship between characters is expressed as ‘intimacy.’ When intimacy builds up to a certain degree, the intimacy level rises and ‘intimacy conversations’ may occur between specific characters.
● Formation bonus
Intimacy is mainly improved by fighting together in the same troop (unit), and you can get an organization bonus by assembling those with a high intimacy level into your troop.
● Inn
You can also increase your intimacy by eating at an ‘inn’ in a fortress city. Let’s organize a table with the characters you want to become friends with. Depending on the menu, the number of people who can eat together and the intimacy increase rate vary.
●Gift
You can give a ‘gift’ to a character deployed as a defender. When you give a ‘gift’, your ‘intimacy’ with the main character, Arlain, increases, and if it is a preferred gift, it increases even more significantly.
● Rite of contract
A special event can occur for colleagues who have reached maximum intimacy with Arrange. It is said to be related to the ring that is paired with the ‘Unicorn Ring’ that Arrain has. The only person you can choose to use the ring on is one of your many companions.
Unicorn Overlord is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 8, 2024 for PlayStation5/PlayStation4/Nintendo Switch/Xbox Series X|S, and detailed information can be found on the official website.
