Slaughter Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Anyone remember Incubation? It's an excellent turn-based game, and the fourth game in the Battle Isle series (more of a spin off really, as it's vastly different from the previous games in the series). I just installed it again, and it plays like a charm on Windows XP. I was a little worried that this would be one of the many games that were better 10 years ago, but I am happy to report that it isn't so! Like X-COM, Fallout, Jagged Alliance and many other turn-based games, it stands the test of time very well! Anyone else remember it? I'm tempted to add a section for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Saw a copy of this along with X-Com: Enforcer in my local indie games shop. Bit good, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I remember it, played it quite a lot back in the day, can't say I enjoyed it that much. Is there even a fan base enough to make a whole section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I played it once. Can't say I got up the motivation to give it a second try, but some games take a bit of getting in to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I like minimum requirements... Sadly I don't have enough time to even play the games I KNOW I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skonar Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Oh come on! It's basically a puzzle-game with guns. It's nothing like X-Com! I mean, it's good. But I was very dissappointed because it'd been compared to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kret Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I played it, and loved it. Shame that it has very little replayability having fixed missions, but it's far from being called a puzzle game. The variaty of enemies plus the sheer number of the weaker ones make it a real challange on the higher difficulties. The weaponwry is also quite varied and you're most likely end up having each marine carrying one of the different Heavy weapons and at least one specialised in handling light weapons. For it's time, it was a great game, but never got the popularity it deserved. The credits song is quite well done BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Oh come on! It's basically a puzzle-game with guns. It's nothing like X-Com! I mean, it's good. But I was very dissappointed because it'd been compared to that.And Chess is Ludo with peasants, right? Never said it was like X-COM. I said it stands the test of time as well as X-COM. That being said, it's far from as advanced as X-COM, that's for sure @Azrael: Guess you're right. I think people should give it a try however. It's easy to get into and great fun in my opinion. @BB: What was it you didn't like? @FullAuto: Can't imagine it cost much now, so go for it! If in doubt, test the demo. @SV: You need to start the indoctrination immediately. Put the little one on your lap and start playing @Kret: Yeah, it does have little replayability. There are some bonus mission and a mission pack available however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
