Upcoming strategy has illustrated spin on medieval battles.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Inkulinati is an upcoming strategy game for Windows PCs. The game takes place in medieval Europe, where some powerful illustrators have mastered what's known as Living Ink, or the power to make their drawings come to life. Players will journey across Europe, testing their skills against other Inkulinati to become more powerful, acquiring new units and squads that can be used in battle. Initially, you'll select your starting squad of characters and will select which troops you'll field. Some of these creatures, like bow-wielding rabbits and sword-wielding dogs, will have different strengths based on where they're placed on the page. Fortunately, as an artist, you can also manipulate the drawings yourself, using your hands to physically push units around and even off the pages entirely. On top of this, the stages that you'll play on will vary from battle to battle, requiring you to adjust your tactics on The game will feature a single player campaign, quick play matches, as well as multiplayer battles. Violence is the focus of the game as your troops fight against each other, but no blood or gore is shown during combat when characters use swords, bows and arrows and other weapons against each other. There does appear to be some possible bathroom humor as characters use passing gas as an attack against others.
