When it comes to famous (and controversial) historical figures you don't get much more notorious than Napoleon Bonaparte. Heroic leader and enlightened thinker, or brutal conqueror and imperialist tyrant? Whatever your opinion, you can soon embody or oppose him in Total War: Napoleon this winter when it releases for iOS and Android December 2nd!

Coming to us from Feral Interactive, also responsible for the mobile ports of Total War: Empire and Rome, Total War: Napoleon takes you back to the late 18th and early 19th century to control either Napoleon himself or one of the Coalition nations attempting to depose the emperor.

Compared to Total War: Empire modern players will find some more familiar mechanics such as attrition and automatic replenishment. Napoleon was often cited as a refinement of the overall blackpowder-era combat presented in Empire, with enhanced physics, strategic gameplay and AI that more than justifies a price tag of $14.99 (or regional equivalent).
