Your goal in battle will be to defeat the enemy troops and ultimately occupy their base. All battles take place at a top-down camera angle. Though rather small in size, the characters are quite detailed and fluidly animated. There is a decent variety in battle environments ranging from forests to deserts and snowy plains. Napoleon's soundtrack will feature music influenced by pieces composed during the French Revolution.
Troops prepare for combat.
In standard Game Boy Advance fashion, Napoleon will include a two-player battle mode accessible to both players with use of only one cartridge. Players can use the armies trained in the story mode or battle with a standard set of troops. In addition to link cable compatibility, Napoleon will also be compatible with the Game Boy Adaptor, allowing for the possibility of playing against a friend over a cell phone. In Japan the connection will also allow players to download maps created by fellow gamers. Three times each week maps will be released and after completion players can upload their scores.
