Napoleon is a Strategy game, developed by Genki and published by Nintendo, which was released in Japan in 2001. The game was also published in France under the title L’Aigle de Guerre (lit. “The Eagle of War”). It was translated into English by Mkol103. Napoleon is a real-time strategy game set in the late 18th century that adds many fantasy elements to historical events.
The famous French leader Napoleon Bonaparte is the main hero and commander. Napoleon manages a small army, composed of three types of units – infantry, artillery, and cavalry. His task is to take over the opponent’s stronghold. The commander is present on the battlefield; while he can’t fight, he can heal units. In the game’s Story Mode, players play Napoleon Bonaparte, who leads the revolutionary army into battle against the British.
Set in the late 18th century, Napoleon’s story is told in Fire Emblem fashion via strategic maps and character dialogue. However, the game takes many liberties with historical accuracy, such as Napoleon fighting man-eating ogres and abominable snowmen. The objectives for the missions vary slightly, but the basic idea is to send out units, defeat the enemy, and take over the opponent’s stronghold.
