In this paper, we discuss the following N-Laplace Choquard equation \(\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{aligned}&- \varepsilon ^{N}\Delta _{N} v+ V(x)|v|^{N-2}v= \varepsilon ^{\mu -N}(|x|^{-\mu }*F(v))f( v),~~~~~ x\in \mathbb {R}^{N},\\&u\in W^{1,N}(\mathbb {R}^{N}), \end{aligned}\right. \end{aligned}\) where \(N\ge 2\) , \(\mu \in (0,N)\) , \(\Delta _{N}v= \text {div}(|\nabla v|^{N-2}\nabla v)\) is the N-Laplace operator, \(\varepsilon \) is a positive parameter, V is a differentiable potential, F is the primitive of f with critical exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser. To address the challenges stemming from the presence of an exponential growth given by f and the quasilinear nature of the equation, we conduct meticulous analyses. This enables us to establish an intricate threshold for the Mountain-Pass minimax level and demonstrate the presence and concentration of semiclassical ground state solutions for the equation in question.
