The briefing

About this game

Inkub is an action-strategy game set in a strange, distant world. Lead a bionic vegetative growth enterprise by defending an incubator containing a growing specimen from enemies attempting to enter through its plasma tubes.

Use weapons and powers to destroy, pause, or block enemies. Their traits include speed, resistance, and range, while weapons and blockers have their own characteristics. Eight weapons are available, with upgrades purchased using energy generated by improving the energy cells that appear during each round.

Modes and Features

  • Adventure Mode: Five worlds with eight rounds each, for a total of 40 rounds.
  • Survival Mode: Endure increasingly powerful waves and pursue records in each world.
  • Scenario Rotation: Use the Wii Remote to rotate level perspectives and reach rear tubes.
