Brandish your bayonet and step into the boots of a frontline general. No base building, no idle time. Just thousands of soldiers, tens of battalions on screen at once, and the smell of gunpowder in the air.

What's in the Next Fest demo

  • Real-time combat focused entirely on battlefield tactics, inspired by the first Italian Napoleonic campaigns

  • Historically accurate line, column, and square formations

  • Unit morale, fatigue, and line of sight that directly shape every engagement

  • Dynamic weather, drifting smoke, and fog of war that alter visibility round by round

  • Cavalry breakthroughs, flanking maneuvers, and desperate melee charges when the ammo runs dry
