About Inkulinati

Inkulinati is a turn-based strategy game inspired by medieval manuscripts. Draw your army of Beasts, and spill the ink of your enemy, defeat medieval superstars and collect perks to unleash hidden powers. Being a master of the quill isn’t easy, so make sure you’re focused and plan every move wisely. Embark on your journey and become the greatest Inkulinati of all time!
Don’t let the looks fool you. Inkulinati is a game of nuance and brain-sizzling challenge that will test even the most hardened strategists. And as every hardened armchair general knows, it all starts with your units, which we call Beasts. There are multiple deadly (and bizarre) Beasts to unlock. They all have their special individual skills, as well as class-specific abilities causing different effects. And when these Beasts work in unison, a symphony of destruction, death, until the literal apocalypse will endure.

It’s not just your Beasts that can cause havoc and damage. There are special, battle tide-turning actions performed by the Inkulinati Masters themselves - such as yourself! Use your unique Hand Actions to smash your opponent's units, draw obstacles to create barriers, relocate your units with a move of your finger, or explode your troops to create pure, pure chaos. Just remember - your opponent can do it too. And to keep it more interesting, each Inkulinati Master can have their own set of Talents too that can help win the battle.

But wait, there’s more. You will need to adapt your tactics to every battle. Each Battlefield is its own domain, with its own particular dangers that you should watch out for, and opportunities that you can use. Look out for objects that are scattered all over the Battlefields, such as exploding Pots of Beans, travelling Hell’s Maws, Clouds of Blessings, and use them to your advantage.

And just when you think you have a handle on the battle, an Apocalyptic event can come in and flip all of your plans upside down. We’re talking fires, plagues, and the Memento Mori itself. However, when all hope is lost and you’re on the ropes, an Apocalypse might be just what you need to turn the tide in your favour.

There are different difficulty levels to choose from depending on your cunningand know-how, so even younglings will be Inkulinati-Masters in due time. And for those that want to know the ins and outs, you can learn how to master it all in our Academy mode, where we teach you step-by-step all the nuances to win every battle.
Uncover the mystery and secrets of the Inkulinati and face such opponents as Hildegard, Dante Alighieri, and more. Go out into the world and start your adventure! Fight the biggest Inkulinati masters in the land, tame the untamed Beasts, build your ultimate army, try to bring back your Master from the clutches of death, and most importantly, finish your grand quest with the biggest party that the middle ages have ever seen!

The best adventures are those of your own. In Journey mode you will create and develop your own character. As any aspiring Inkulinati Master, you will get to create your own Inkulinati character. During your journey you will learn the secret techniques of drawing new Beasts and Inkulinati Hand Actions, allowing you to choose the composition of your army. You can be a brave knight that has no fear or a nun who with the power of prayer can confuse her enemies and heal thy own servants. Those styles, and more, are waiting to be discovered and made your own. Express yourself!

On your journey you won’t just battle against other Inkulinati Masters. You will face untamed Wild Beasts, go against Beast Lairs, meet interesting characters such Bards and talking Geese, visit shops, scriptoriums, and loads more. It is one heck of an adventure!
Inkulinati will bring you back to the Golden Era of hot-seat mode. Face your friends, family, or foes, and decide who is the greatest Inkulinati Master in the house!

Choose your Army, Talents, Inkulianti Master, the Battlefield, and other criteria and options, and face a battle that will be remembered for the ages.
700 years in the making, finally these bizarre art pieces can come alive in a video game and show that medieval people also had their “memes” and that they laughed from the same silly things that we do today. You’ll see sword-wielding rabbits, dogs with spears, trumpets lodged in bottoms, human-eating snails, and more. Much, much more…

The game does not want to launch on my pc or on my steamdeck. No idea why and I never got a response to an email I sent to the developers.

Inkulinati definitely grabs you with the medieval margin illustration theme... and credit where it's due, the illustrations are pretty good and the theme is a fun and welcome one. But the theme is skin deep here, once you move past that and see the actual game, this is just a weak ripoff of Slay the Spire only it costs a lot more. Designed for the Nintendo Switch and other consoles, this turn based battler has you summoning and placing various beasts, using a combination of their positions and abilities to beat the enemies on each "run". And if you decide to play this seriously you'll be repeating these runs a lot, because your progress is locked behind mindlessly repeating the same shallow loop... and that's tiresome. I was very disappointed that despite all the work that went into art and theme here, the underlying game was so underwhelming. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. Because this is designed for handheld/portable g…

Cute, a bit raunchy, and very clever in using marginalia to create a turn-by-turn battle. I appreciated working my way through the lessons and learning the strategy of the game--of which there is plenty!--even while being like yep, there is weird stuff in some medieval manuscripts. Great art, fun time. A bit simplistic, but glad to see this celebrating the oddity of marginalia.

An amazing and fun game for any strategy fans. Lot of cool and unique units, talents and options to fight in the campaign or duels. Great medieval artstyle. Campaign is a roguelike journey and will not get boring as there are a lot of different variables and strategies you can do. Would love if the icons for the talents and abilities had different colors and not only the icon, this would help to easily differentiate them between one another. Completely worth it.
