Revolution Diabolique

Congratulations Chris Conley you had the French Revolution and demons and you still managed to make a bad game. Do not buy! There are like a dozen quagmires in the story that lead to unending loops, spend 8$ on anything else.

A lot happens in the time-frame of this game, but none of it happens to you it seems. I did a whole play-through where anything of note happened "off-screen" and was summarised in what felt like a history textbook fashion. My play-through consisted of a boring series of meaningless events that were mostly just stat checks. The ending came and it felt like I had done absolutely nothing the entire time. The rival also feels super unnecessary and mainly serves as a plot point that ends up going nowhere. The romances were also incredibly lacklustre. Overall the game was really boring, repetitive and felt like it went nowhere, especially if you know the least bit of French history. I like to give COG games a chance but this was really disappointing.

dont buy this, the "story" it offers is very poor and not entertaining. dont get fooled by the word count, on average words in a playthrough you'll only experience one tenth of the word count give or take. the only reason i have this many hours in it is cuz afk. its a waste of your money.

There isn't enough depth to fully develop the fantasy side of this story or the historical side, both struggle to provide compelling reasons to maintain the reader's interest. The characters are similarly two-dimensional. It feels almost as if the author of this story got bored with their own creation and after the first chapter just gave up on it.

[b]Révolution Diabolique[/b] By Chris Conley [b]”No one at the table seems particularly enthusiastic about your plan. But lacking any serious proposals from others, it is eventually agreed upon, and the meeting moves on.[/b] [b]It’s a disaster.”[/b] I saw a derivation of the above quote so… many… times. Some titles like wearing their stat systems out on their sleeves, while some wear sleeves and ruffles and powder makeup. Révolution Diabolique is the latter. I think Marie-Antoinette once famously said, “Let them read code”. But probably in French, not English. [b]General Story:[/b] Welcome to revolutionary-era France, where you choose what sort of character you are and how you’ll affect the fledgling world of democracy. Oh, and you summon demons. While there isn’t much dialogue in the game, the majority of it takes place in sort of episodic side stories. Intermissions are actually periods where you learn a little bit about the alt-history revolution, and make decisions based on your character’s opinion. Sometimes this can actually affect where France and the surrounding nations end up. Or it might affect where your head and body end up. This works so well. Everything is well …

Good start, but where is Napoleon? The story focuses only on the player, not Napoleon. Too short of a game, and NO NAPOLEON.
