Publisher CE-Asia and developer Azure Flame Studio are today very happy to announce that “Banner of the Maid“, the acclaimed turn-based strategy game with JRPG elements (currently available on Steam) heads for a PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch release within 2020.

After its success in China and the successful launch in the West of its English version on February 14th 2020, the game comes finally to consoles, a port that has been widely anticipated by fans of the genre. If you will be interested in reviewing the game when review codes are available, let us know!

Banner of the Maid is a strategy role-playing game (SRPG) set in an alternate French Revolution with fantasy elements. Thanks to its deep and challenging gameplay, its complex story full of rich characters and epic moments, and its astounding anime art style, it’s been widely applauded as one of the best games in the genre of the year, with an approval rate of 89% on Steam.

You play as the young officer Pauline Bonaparte, leading your troops to victory in turn-based dynamic battles – but also taking part in the complex political landscape of Paris, full of intrigues and conspiracies.

But Pauline is more than just a brilliant officer – she is also a Maid, one of the fabled women with mysterious powers capable of turning the tide of a battle… A deep epic story full of twists, glory, and fantasy where the destiny of the Revolution lays in your hands.

After a successful release in China in May 2019, Banner of the Maid finally arrived on Western markets fully localized to English on February 14th, and now comes to consoles later this year.

In Banner of the Maid you will command the most iconic troops from the Revolution era in deep-turn based strategy combats with dynamic environments — more than 30 different terrains, including cities, plains, snowy mountains, etc. with environmental changes like snow or fog which will force you to be constantly on your toes, adapting your strategy to every situation.

Your generals, over 30 fascinating characters including historical figures like Desaix, Murat and Lannes among others, will all have different backgrounds and skills that can be trained and improved with experience– but you will have to talk to them to discover their stories, gain their trust and understand their hearts if you want them to reach their true potential.

You will also take part in challenges and quests to gain political favor, funds to improve your weaponry and supplies – but be careful, for your actions may tip the balance of power in Paris…
