TSA writes: "The French Revolution was messy, as most revolutions are. In this case, despite mostly positive intentions – the vast majority, 98%, of the population just wanted the same rights and privileges as the 2% of elites – the revolution quickly turned into a power struggle. With King Louis XVI recently headless, the resulting vacuum turned the county inside out as the power hungry jostled for position. The result? The Reign of Terror, in which 40,000 people were beheaded between 1793 – 1794 and at the end of it all, France had exchanged a monarch for a dictator in the form of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is the anarchy, fear and opportunity of this period that We. The Revolution attempts to capture."
Set during the French Revolution you play the pivotal role of a judge. You determine whether or not a person is innocent, guilty, or a dead man walking. With the introduction of the guillotine and tensions rising in the streets as an incompetent king loses his grasp on his country, you must struggle to balance the life and well being of the country alongside the happiness and support of your family. It does sound cool on paper, but can be a bit dull as everyday blends into the next. However, there is a story here to enjoy.
