Medieval parchment simulator Inkulinati is up to some monkey business.

You can view the announcement and trailer below:

Yaza Games and Daedalic Entertainment are thrilled to announce the latest uproarious update for Inkulinati, the whimsical turn-based strategy medieval romp that keeps players coming back for more. In response to the enthusiastic Inkulinati community, this new update introduces a cavalcade of exciting additions that will leave fans roaring with delight – going bananas, if you will –, and will serve as a great starting point for new players to jump in. Inkulinati is part of the Steam Strategy Fest that just started and is therefore reduced in price by 40% for the next two weeks.

Beneath its seemingly mirthful facade, Inkulinati has proven to be a formidable strategic challenge, and the good-natured minds at Yaza Games have been hard at work, heeding the counsel of players and weaving their wishes into this 3rd major update. Prepare to embrace the following additions:

• New Beasts – the Ape Army! – This Army is made up of four new Beasts/units. The three “classic” style units, so long range, short range, mid range, as well as the unique Ape Assistant. These Beasts are loud, they drink, and they have a cheeky butt! Could be a crowd favourite.
• New Inkulinati Master – The Ape Professor! – The leader of the Ape Army. The Ape Professor comes with his own unique Hand Actions as well as his own special hand (yep, it’s a furry monkey paw). The Professor also has new talents available to him. Together with this Inkulinati Master and the new Beasts, that’s a whole new army that’s being added to the game.
• New Battlefields – There are new Battlefields that have been added to the game. Who doesn’t like new Battlefields to play on… Adds more variety to your battling needs and new scenarios to make your brain cells percolate .
• New Intermediate Lessons in the Academy – We’ve added new lessons so that people can get to know the game’s nuance a bit more and see the depth of it. It’s all about honing and creating future Inkulinati masters.
• Assorted Improvements – The team at Yaza also made a lot of improvements, quality of life changes, more diversity in battlefield in Journey mode, re-jigged the Dance Macabre according to feedback, and other smaller changes.

The new Inkulinati update brings many changes and additions to the game, but let’s not kid ourselves, the best feature is the ape army.

Inkulinati is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows (through Steam’s Early Access). A Nintendo Switch port is set to release in the future.
