The gameplay is characterized by a lighthearted yet engaging turn-based combat system, featuring unique mechanics and a well-designed user interface that enhances the overall experience. While some elements, such as the legal system and dialogue, may feel underdeveloped, the core gameplay remains enjoyable and offers a rich, immersive world with impactful decision-making. Overall, players appreciate the balance of mechanics and the game's artistic presentation, despite minor quirks typical of early access titles.
- “A very enjoyable, lighthearted yet moreish gameplay experience.”
- “The gameplay isn't too overly complicated or overwhelming.”
- “Every decision shapes the world, the gameplay is razor-sharp, and the writing is rich with personality.”
- “You get some poorly designed mechanical unit (it is just a low-res image) for your troops from the wife of Lavoisier because she lives with him as a friend and she’s clever in her own right.”
- “Mediocre legal system - the laws themselves have no effect on the plot, they just slightly affect the mechanics and the enemy army's recruitment.”
- “For example, you can trade with your enemies as if nothing is wrong, there is a lack of unique dialogue in some places, and some of the gameplay mechanics are simplified for now.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking depth and engagement, particularly due to limited character interactions and a simplistic narrative structure. While the concept of a national convention and political intrigue is intriguing, many feel that the execution falls short, with unimpactful choices and predictable story events. However, some players appreciate the global story elements and the potential for dramatic changes based on player decisions, indicating that there is a foundation for a compelling narrative that could be further developed.
- “There is also a global story happening between turns that adds a layer to the game that I didn't realize I missed in other similar titles.”
- “The choices in the game are highly reactive and change the story dramatically, even though there are only 2 or 3 choices currently.”
- “A wonderful way to mix intrigue, politics, and warfare into a game with story components that help offer the drive or motivation to keep engaging in what you do.”
- “Mediocre character writing—of course, I didn't expect deep interaction, but they don't even have new lines depending on the plot changes; all their responses are at the level of the first move of the game and have remained so.”
- “If you save during dialogue, the dialogue will be skipped and the story scripts will be broken.”
- “The national convention is a cool idea except there's no point engaging with it because all the laws are basically useless by turn 5 and all the other political parties get kicked out of it by story events, so there's no reason to interact with it.”

The soundtrack is considered a highlight, with some users feeling it justifies the game's price, though it can be repetitive in a waiting game context. While the music enhances the experience, there are suggestions for improved sound feedback during actions and more concise dialogues to further elevate gameplay. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's robust and satisfying feel.
- “The soundtrack is worth the price of the game by itself.”
- “Overall, playing Bonaparte felt robust and satisfying.”
- “The OST isn't great either; it's not bad but awfully repetitive in a waiting game.”
- “Actions could have more musical/sound feedback (buttons, end of turn, etc.), dialogues could be shorter, and a few UX tricks could make the experience even more enjoyable.”
