Its main draw is its \u201cink-based\u201d presentation, where the world and characters are presented in the form of medieval manuscripts. <\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not a serious affair. You draw (literally) Beasts to fight others that also use Beasts. And such beasts can be \u201cdonkeys playing trumpets with their bottoms, bishop cats vanquishing heretics with prayers, heavy but deadly snails that eat units alive\u201d and more.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing its tongue-in-cheek theming, the developer has partnered with YouTuber and bardcore artist Hildegard von Blingin\u2019 for a music video.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\">[embedded content]<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For the uninitiated, bardcore is a weird new subgenre of music that started out as pop music covers to the tune of medieval instruments. You might have came across a bardcore version of Pumped Up Kicks- either the <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Kl40J5YMmcI\">instrumental original<\/a> or with <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cRIfsFefatg\">vocals as sung by Hildegard<\/a> (with lyrics translated to old English, appropriately) during the pandemic times of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at it these days, bardcore is now a modern rendition of medieval music. Which fits perfectly with what Inkulinati is trying to do here. So a music video for a game that\u2019s entering Early Access is not only not weird, but a good fit.<\/p>\n<p>Inkulinati <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/957960\/Inkulinati\/\">has a demo available on Steam<\/a>, should you want to see how drawing silly Beasts to fight for your glory is something of your interest.<\/p>\n<p>Inkulinati will be released in Early Access on January 31, 2023 on PC (Steam, GOG), Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One (as an Xbox Game Preview title). It\u2019s also coming to Xbox and PC Game Pass on the same date, with a planned release on Switch once the game leaves Early Access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1796490,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[]},"genre":[78],"artist":[134],"mood":[],"activity":[],"station_tag":[18744,18711,7387,18752,26063,18119,10610,14092,177,18710,18750,32778,18732,5225,3862,9445,18726,13258,18715,18719,18742,18712,18714,18729,5227,18749,16767,3702,37233,18708],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1796489"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1796490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1796489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1796489"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1796489"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1796489"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1796489"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1796489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
