The French Revolution, known for its chaos and violence, might have been even more tumultuous with the addition of mechs. As Louis Antoine de Saint-Just infamously said in Georg Büchner’s play Danton’s Death, “Is it so remarkable that the stream of the revolution should at every bend and cataract cast up its corpses?” Just imagine what could have been possible if those revolutionaries had advanced robotic technology.

Bonaparte: A Mechanized Revolution invites players to don the uniform of a female Napoleon Bonaparte, navigating the conflict-ridden landscape of France from 1789 onward. Players can align with factions such as the Ultraroyalists, Moderates, or Jacobins, affecting the course of history.

The gameplay consists of tactical battles reminiscent of XCOM, broader strategic elements involving resource management, and narrative interactions with historical figures that influence legislative actions within the National Assembly.

This game offers a unique twist on an alternate history while maintaining a connection to the real events and characters of the French Revolution. Whether you choose to fight for radical change or try to restore the old order, each decision shapes the pathway of your revolution.
