I'm Not A History Buff, But I Adore This Game
I knew next to nothing about the steampunk genre before and I know nothing about the 1800s. All of my knowledge of Napoleon comes from high school classes over a decade ago and if I had to take a quiz on it again, I'd probably fail.
And yet, I still thoroughly enjoyed this game. Very well done.

It’s fine
I’ve played a lot of choose your own adventure styled games. And this is fun but very short and has limited replay. It’s fine though I enjoyed it.
Good
A few typos, but nothing major. This is a pleasure to read.
Okay-ish
Pros: Strong writing and world-building.
Cons: Felt like I was constantly reaffirming my character's gender and sexuality and then not getting appropriate choices regardless.
Felt like I wasn't able to improve my stats effectively to face obstacles. Game ended abruptly and unsatisfactorily as a result of "choose the right option" at the end. (Didn't realize it was a skill check, so obviously chose the wrong one)

Superb Alternate Historical Romance!
I LOVE this game! As someone who has visited the places in the game and studied the history of the time period, it was a real treat to run around in this exciting alternate historical romance novella. I had so much fun! I didn’t know how things would turn out, and I still don’t exactly know how everything will turn out—so I will definitely be playing over and over again.

Awesome Alt-History Game
Loved the story and characters, a fun dip into historical fiction with a well-written premise.
Meh
I really grow tired of telling the game that I'm a straight male and then having all of the romance options be gay male stuff. There wasn't a single real female romance option but I got many opportunities to feel fluttery around dudes and to try to seduce them.
The tricycle
Any game that allows me to have a bisexual threesome is a win in my book. 10/10

My favorite by leaps and bounds
Fabulous game
This is a really good game, I really like the way it is laid out. Thank you for making a really good game, it's well worth the time and money to play it.
It's OK
It was well written however not many meaningful choices. I really wanted to like this but no matter how hard I tried it just fell short of my expectations. The story was OK but could've been better.
Great fun!
I'm a big fan of choice of games but have fallen behind in my playing lately. This game reminded me why I love this type of game so much. A rip roaring adventure for sure! Even if you aren't a history buff there is plenty of fun to be had in this what if/alternative take on history. Air ship and spy games and romance and politics galore! I look forward to replaying because there seems to be quite a few endings one can get.

Fantastic!
Really well written and fun! Played it though many times now and I still can't figure out how to win the airship race. However, Mademoiselle Josher71 will not be deterred!
Awesome
I'm a huge history buff and love Napoleon, so this has turned out to be one of my favorite choice of games. The only problem I've noticed so far is the ending of the game acts as though you've romanced Constance regardless of whether you have or not, and you seemingly can't romance Eugenie without sacrificing parts of the mission. I would recommend fixing whatever the bug is with Constance asking you to practice fidelity with her even if you've never romanced her, and perhaps separating romance opportunities into a different section so you don't feel like you are abandoning your post as a bodyguard to go flirting. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed The Eagle's Heir and recommend it to anyone reading this review.

Lovely!
This game was amazing!
If you're a fan of history and romance, this is certainly a wonderful combination of the two. While playing the game, I had a variety of lovers from both genders, so it's very diverse. Or choose to love no one.
Either way, this game is amazing and takes real events and real people and totally reinvents them. It's totally worth the money. :)

One of the best
I own all of the choice of games (I may have a problem) and this one is legitimately one of, if not the, best. Tons of different routes, meaningful gender choices and beautiful writing.
Great!!
Super fun to replay. I had a great time trying to get all the different endings.
Amazing game!
This game book is incredible, a very interesting and well thought about alternative history novel that held my interest and excitement all the way through! I was sad when it ended.
