Inkulinati is drawing plans for an early access release later this year

Daedalic Entertainment and developer Yaza Games have announced that Inkulinati will enter in early access on Steam and Xbox later this year, giving players a taste of the mighty Inkulinati who wields the power of Living Ink. Check out the new trailer for the game below.

On the game’s 2D book-battlefields, the inked creatures follow their masters’ commands, fighting against beasts controlled by rival Inkulinati. To gain an edge over their enemies, players can collect new Living Ink and tinker with their bestiary to find strategic compositions for their next duel. New servants can be unlocked throughout the game, adding peculiar abilities to the Inkulinati’s arsenal, such as human-eating snails or lodging trumpets in bottoms.

Players must move their teams with foresight and cunning to beat their opponents— among them some medieval superstars, such as Death and Dante Alighieri. As Inkulinati, you have the power to personally intervene in battles, but so do your opponents! Thanks to special abilities, they can squash hostile troops with their bare fists, draw up obstacles or move their own fighters across the map at the snap of a finger. Thus one action can turn the tide of the whole battle.
