Revolutionary Strategy Awaits in Banner of the Maid

Banner of the Maid, available on PC, transports players to an alternate history of the French Revolution, enriched with a fantasy twist. In this acclaimed turn-based strategy JRPG, you follow Pauline Bonaparte, navigating the turmoil of revolutionary Paris. With this Deluxe Edition, you not only get the base game but also the exciting DLC, The Oriental Pirate, adding fresh missions and new allies to your journey.

Tactical Battles Against Historical Backdrops

Strategic depth is at the heart of Banner of the Maid. Drawing inspiration from classic 90s strategy games, players command a diverse range of unit types, including Line Infantry, Skirmishers, Cavalry, and Artillery. Mastering unit counters and terrain advantages—which influence attack success and evasion—becomes crucial on the complex grid-based battlefields. Weather conditions add another layer, challenging players to adapt their tactics dynamically.

Dive into the World of Politics and Factions

Political maneuvering is just as important as combat in this game. Between battles, you’ll interact in the Malmaison Salon, where your choices shape relationships with various factions: the Royalists, the Jacobins, and the Parisians. Completing quests for these groups can unlock funding, rare weapons, and even unique story routes. Your political strategy could turn the tide of both battles and the broader revolution.

Anime Art Style Breathing Life into History

The game's art style is a bold reimagination of 18th-century France, infused with vibrant anime aesthetics. Over 30 distinctly designed characters populate the landscape, each reflecting a fascinating blend of historical significance and artistic flair. The attention to detail ensures that from the trenches of battle to the grand Tuileries, every scene is visually engaging, enhancing the storytelling experience.

Build and Customize Your Dream Army

Alongside combat, you’ll have the opportunity to construct the ultimate army. Each general brings unique skills and growth potential, allowing for strategic customization. As you progress, you can promote them into advanced classes and learn their backstories, unlocking passive bonuses. Experimenting with different skill combinations can lead to personalized tactics that suit your preferred playstyle.

New Challenges and Adventures Awaits in DLC

The inclusion of The Oriental Pirate DLC further enriches the landscape. Players can set sail with the Chinese Pirate Confederation, joining forces with the daring Mu Zhiyun. This expansion introduces brand-new challenge missions, along with an entirely new unit type, adding complexity and variety to the already rich world of Banner of the Maid. It’s an essential addition for those eager to deepen their tactical experience.
