Studio Imugi’s debut title, Bonaparte – A Mechanized Revolution, hits Early Access in May, and it’s aiming for something bold: rewriting the French Revolution with political intrigue, turn-based combat, and hulking war mechs.
You play as an alternate-history version of Napoleon Bonaparte, dropped into the chaos of a crumbling monarchy. It’s your job to decide the future of France—whether that means revolution, reform, or ruthless control. The game blends two main systems: a turn-based tactical layer where 18th-century soldiers clash alongside towering steampunk mechs, and a political strategy layer where you pass laws, sway ideology, and battle for influence with key figures like Robespierre and Lafayette.
Every decision feeds into a larger narrative system that mirrors real historical tension. Do you preserve order or plunge the nation into radical change? You’ll manage infrastructure, spin propaganda, and build your army—one colossal mech at a time. Bonaparte – A Mechanized Revolution is the kind of weird, ambitious historical remix that doesn’t come around often. The pitch is simple: a gritty political drama wrapped in a turn-based tactics game, with enough steel and steam to satisfy any mech fan.
The revolution begins May 21, when Bonaparte: A Mechanized Revolution launches in Early Access on PC via Steam. Below is an overview and new trailer.
