Napoleon I: The Campaigns 1805–1814 is a 1991 video game published by RAW Entertainment.

Gameplay

Napoleon I is a game in which players join the emperor Napoleon's campaign with the coalition allied against him.[1] The game has three campaigns based on historical scenarios: the Grande Armee against the forces of Austria and Russia (1805), two campaigns involving Napoleon's forces in France and surrounding countries (1806, 1809), and the French against multiple countries (1813-1814).[2] Players can play against the computer or a human opponent, and give orders to their troops, and maintain supply lines.[3]

Reception

Wyatt Lee reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "What Napoleon I: The Campaigns 1805–1814 happens to be is a fast-playing, versatile campaign game that fills a void in the genre of computer games based on the Napoleonic era."[1] The reviewer for Amiga Power praised the game's historical accuracy, but said that "when it comes to playing the game you keep going to make a cup of tea just to get a little excitement."[3] Jonathan Davies for Amiga Action found that the game would have no appeal to novice players, calling it "a tough, uncompromising, workmanlike simulation".[2]
