COMPLEX TURN-BASED STRATEGY GAME

You should never judge a book by its cover. Inkulinati is a game of nuances and tough cerebral challenges that will give even the brightest strategists a run for their money. As any good general in slippers knows, there is nothing more important than your units, here called beasts. You can unlock many beasts deadly (and strange). They all have special individual skills, as well as class-specific abilities with different effects. When these beasts attack in unison, they sow destruction and death in their wake, creating a veritable apocalypse.

Your beasts aren't the only items in your arsenal capable of wreaking havoc. Inasmuch as master Inkulinati, you have special actions that will help you turn the tide of battle! Crush your opponent's units with your actions, draw obstacles to create barriers, move your units with a single move or explode your troops in to sow chaos. Be careful, don't forget that your opponent also has this power. To spice things up a little, each Inkulinati master has his own set of talents to help him in battle.

But that's not all ! You will have to adapt your strategy to each battle. Each battlefield is its own domain, with unique dangers to watch out for and opportunities to exploit. Collect the objects scattered all over the battlefieldlike exploding bean pots, unstable hellfangs, and blessing clouds, and use them to your advantage.

Even when you think you're fighting the battle, a apocalyptic event can occur at any time and foil all your plans. For example, blazing fires, plague and even memento mori. Conversely, when you have lost all hope of achieving victory, an Apocalypse can arise at the right time to help you regain the upper hand.

Different levels of difficulty are available, it's up to you to choose according to your cunning and your know-how. With a little patience, becoming an Inkulinati master is within everyone's reach.
