Banner of the Maid is a tactical role-playing game set amid the political turmoil of the French Revolution. As Pauline Bonaparte, players work from the Malmason Salon, navigating rival factions including the Royalists and Jacobins. Their missions and challenges connect political maneuvering with the effort to gather support and secure resources for the campaign.
Battles draw on period military units such as line infantry, skirmishers, cavalry and artillery. Unit matchups and terrain shape tactical choices, while rain, snow, fog and night can affect the battlefield. Commanders add another layer of planning: players can tailor skills and equipment, develop characters through promotion paths, and unlock personal stories that grant passive bonuses.
Its anime-inspired character art contrasts with the historical setting, and its roster includes figures tied to different factions and backgrounds.
