There Will Be Ink

About

There Will Be Ink is a difficult tactical action game for 1-8 players. Play solo or with friends in battles between stick figure armies on a paper notepad, just like you used to draw in class instead of paying attention! ### Tactical Depth Charging forward into the fray will rarely win a battle. Assessing the battlefield, taking cover as needed, and keeping an eye on troop positions are all essential for winning the day. Or, if that sounds like a chore, switch to "Arcade Mode" and run & gun at will! As units gain experience and level up during a battle, they become progressively more proficient at battle and will go prone to evade danger, hide behind cover when attacking, and dodge incoming rockets and grenades. Ranking up also increases attributes such as stamina, ammo capacity, weapon accuracy, and how quickly a unit will raise or lower a flag to take over a building. Actions such as running, rolling, and throwing grenades require stamina, and if a unit's stamina runs out they become exhausted and must wait a short period to catch their breath. Outside of battle, use experience points earned during battle to unlock unit-specific and global training and weapon upgrades as well as HQ abilities like ammo drops, paratroopers, and air strikes. ### Mission Variety Missions range from attacking the enemy head on to building up a base using engineers, rescuing prisoners behind enemy lines using a lone sniper, fighting against your own defecting forces, traditional "boss" fights, and battling it out at sea, at night, or on a ski slope. There Will Be Ink includes a map editor to design your own battlefields from scratch. The "Quick Battle" option allows you to choose a few variables using sliders and toggles and then jump into a random map. A procedural campaign generator will generate a series of progressively more difficult missions across a series of landscapes. ### Persistent Battlefield The history of any given battle is retained by the craters, shells, and red ink spilled on the battlefield, while end-of-battle stats provide a numerical analysis of the battle. ### Play With Friends Play with or against up to 7 friends in local multiplayer (or with a few friends online using Steam Remote Play Together). A team can play through a whole campaign together or just a quick battle or player-designed map. In campaign missions that were previously won, players can join the enemy team for an extra challenge. Badges are presented to players for feats such as most kills, longest streak, most deaths avenged, and many more.
