Lead the revolution with soldiers and towering mechs in this all-new game combining the grand strategy of political management with deep, tactical turn-based combat.
From veterans behind games like The Messenger, Sea of Stars, Moon Hunters, The Shrouded Isle and more comes Bonaparte, releasing on PC in early 2025 from boutique development house, Studio Imugi. Rewrite history as you play as an alternate reimagining of the historical figure Bonaparte, and work to defend, reform or overthrow a collapsing monarchy in an alternate version of the French Revolution in this ideology driven, turn-based, strategy game.
Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most influential figures in history, whose complex, controversial legacy makes him an ideal subject for a strategy game and an exciting, relatively unexplored theme in the video game world. In Bonaparte: A Mechanized Revolution, the player takes Napoleon’s place in an alternate timeline as a fictional Céline or César Bonaparte, changing the course of the French Revolution as a talented, charismatic, young general. Since the player is free to choose their gender identity and the ideals that they fight for, our game is not strictly a historical simulation but a reimagined adventure where history meets innovative storytelling. Developed in North America by a talented Canadian team based in Quebec, this game promises a fresh and engaging experience.
Description
Taking Napoleon’s place in history, players serve the role of Céline/César Bonaparte, a young military officer who leads a revolutionary movement in a monarchy on the verge of collapse. Grow the movement from a ragtag group of idealists to a powerful, radical government to determine the fate of the revolution – and the world.
Harness and perfect your ideological strategy – choose your ideals and take control of France by any means necessary, reshaping her future to match your vision. Joining the political fray in this adaptive alternate history game are famous historical characters and factions. Each character is brought to life via Studio Imugi’s imaginative take on the French Revolution, creating political theater in which tensions and conflicts never play out the same way.
Featuring epic battles where gunpowder clashes with steam-powered mechs, known as Colossi, tense tactical turn-based combat rewards valor and cunning over brute strength. Bonaparte’s presentation of alternate history is accentuated by its unique approach to the strategy genre: mirroring the consequences of political action, players can see policy play out in real time on the battlefield.
