NAPOLEON: RULE OF IRON

The game really impressed me, especially the sounds. But I would like the terrain to be more detailed—for example, bridges, cities, villages, roads, forests, and terrain effects. I’d also like forests to be used for ambushes. Cavalry should in fact be able to sweep away entire battalions, not lose in battle to a single infantry regiment. I’d also like to see forts. Overall, I want a lot of historical accuracy in such a game, because it is unique in its own way. The special sounds, the regiment sizes—I really like all of that. Unfortunately, the Napoleonic theme is not the most popular. I’d also like to have more freedom, like choosing where to advance, and to limit corps only by the number of soldiers, not by the number of brigades. I’d like to see proper brigade formations in two lines, and formations like the square as well. Believe me, the game is very interesting, and I really wish this project won’t be abandoned and will develop further according to the criteria I described above, because right now the game is still a bit raw and does not fully match its price. I really hope the game will develop further and quickly. The best way to understand what I’ve described above is to watch the YouTube channel Epic History with episodes about the Napoleonic Wars—everything is very well drawn and explained there. I truly hope you’ll notice my review and take into account what I’ve written above. And please, don’t change the sounds—they are your signature feature.

Excellent Napoloenic War Battle Simulator. A grounding for a future series perhaps? :) Luke from LT Gaming YouTube!

from the bit i played the game seems to very fun, cant wait to rack up hours on this, defo would recommend Edit: the reviews saying that their troops wont shoot most likely haven't read that in the first mission, muskets are useless and you must charge troops, and from then on you need to simply purchase ammo in the deployment tab.,

Pretty fun should try, mix of total war and ultimate general

It is very similar to UG Civil War. The graphics are sprites and it reminds me of a old mod for american conquest, Hawks Napoleonic, or something along the line. The 1 to 1 scale also helps to represent the number of people that lost their lives during the warfare of the period. Not really sure if the game will have mod support.

Amazing game, I would give it an 8.5/10 with room for improvement for 9/10 or possibly beyond. Gameplay is similar to total war/UGCW (Ultimate General: Civil War). Only thing I would immediately recommend is a more detailed UI describing how to reach certain unit type upgrades and being able to click enemy units when they're in melee combat. (A more precise way to 'type' unit numbers rather than using a slider for 100% accuracy would also be nice.) If units were able to be customized more in camp with better weapons, cannons, and cavalry sabres that would be awesome. I already like the unit progression from recruits to veterans. Customizable units in my opinion really build variety and increase playtime. AI is amazing, only played on medium difficulty and they are already a decent challenge. Sound effects are definitely upper tier as it builds immersion quite well. Only 7-8 hours in and about 1/4 done with the campaign. Definitely looking for another campaign after current one for sure. 3+ hours went by due to how immersed I was in the game haha.

Super great game, scratches my itch to see the true size of the battles. The AI is pretty smart and it is an actual challenge. I also love seeing all of the historical names. The background music is AWESOME Although, the graphics and detail for the maps aren't very good. I am sure the game could handle a bit more detail. I had a good time before refunding it. I would definitely buy this if it were cheaper. 30USD is way too much. In the end, it has lots of potential if some more detail was added, better movement controls and bells and whistles, etc. Overall, I would recommend waiting for a sale (as I will, haha)

Loving this game so far. Reminds me of the classic Amiga/PC 'Waterloo', but in Real Time. Love the sound effects which really bring the game to life. AI is decent even at lower skill levels. Would be nice to see more Napoleonic formations, such as the attack column and square, but game still works well without these. Nice touch that Eagles can get stolen! :) Hoping that you get to play as the opposition against the French in the future. Keep up the great work!

Its alright. I like the massed formations but cant break them down to smaller formations. Its a different game, not perfect but it can be improved up sort of like a Lines of Battle kinda of game

If you are interest in the time period, this is a decent strategy game. Its a total war battles lite is the best way to put it, but it feels big in scale battle wise. Ai dose a decent job as well.
