Inkulinati coming to Switch sometime in 2024

Developer Yaza Games and Publisher Daedalic Entertainment originally announced Inkulinati for Switch all the way back in 2020, and we’ve been waiting ever since to find out a release date. While we don’t have an exact date, we do now have confirmation the game will arrive in 2024. Inkulinati is still in early access on Steam, but when the game finally comes to Switch, it’ll have feature parity with the PC release, along with other Switch-centric optimizations.

Seemingly lighthearted and whimsical on the surface, Inkulinati proves to be a complex and challenging strategy game at its’ core. Master the rules of battle and use your strategic mastermind to keep your head above water in this unforgiving yet always fair turn-based tactics game inspired by medieval marginalia. The Tactical Swimming Update’s biggest addition is the all-new Water Army! This army is made up of the Sword-Wielding Fish, Spear-Wielding Fish, Bow-Wielding Fish, and the mighty Seal, whose spear can pierce through multiple targets!

In arenas where the aquatic Beasts will grace, multiple big and small water areas will arise at the beginning of a battle. These are not just ordinary puddles but mighty strategic elements as water creatures are immune to damage and can move more fields when they are located inside the big water. Meanwhile, regular creatures will face damage when they end their turn inside these wet fields. In addition to these new units and supporting mechanics, the developers added 8 new hand actions and 26 new talents, which allow for creating new individual play styles. The developers also balanced existing battlefields taking into account the game’s community feedback.
