HISTORICAL ROGUELIKE — NAPOLEONIC WARS
“You are nobody. A conscript from the south. The army hasn’t paid you in weeks. Your shoes are falling apart. But a young general has just arrived — and he says everything is about to change.”
Create a soldier. Join the ranks of Napoleon’s army. Survive battles through volley fire, narrative choices, and desperate melee. Build bonds with comrades who can die. Manage your health, morale, and stamina across camp and combat. When you die — and you will — your glory carries forward.
Three campaigns span Napoleon’s wars. Italy: the lightning war, audacity, victory against the odds. Egypt: isolation, disease, a veteran army stranded at the edge of the world. Russia: the long death, the retreat, survival — if you’re lucky.
For fans of A Legionary’s Life, Heads Will Roll, and anyone who’s wondered what it was really like to stand in the line.
Rest, train, forage, or gamble your pay. Build bonds with the men beside you. Your choices here echo on the battlefield.
Load. Present. Fire. Endure the return. The musketry drill is your lifeline — but the man next to you just dropped.
Between the volleys, a sergeant bleeds out. An officer gives an impossible order. What you do next shapes everything.
When the lines crash together, it’s stance against stance, bayonet against bayonet. Every round drains stamina and nerve.
ITALY 1796–1797
Lightning war. Audacity. Victory against the odds.
EGYPT 1798–1801
Isolation. Disease. A veteran army stranded at the edge of the world.
RUSSIA 1812
The long death. The retreat. Survival — if you’re lucky.
“Your stats, rank, scars, and the names of the dead carry forward.”
“We are abandoned in the depths of Italy. None of the expected help has arrived… The Army of Italy, reduced to a handful of men, is worn out.”
— NAPOLEON TO THE DIRECTORY, NOVEMBER 1796
