Incubation - Time is running out

On the colonized planet Scayra, an unknown virus is mutating the native Scay’Ger into violent, bloodthirsty killers.

Lead a squad of up to 10 marines within the shadowy buildings of the city Scay-Hallwa where deadly surprises wait around corners and behind closed doors. During the course of over 30 turn-based missions, you must try to stop the savage mutants and evacuate the remaining human colonists.

In this tactical strategy game you’ll equip your marines with a variety of weapons, armor and supplies. Choose from plasma guns, flame throwers, attack armor, medical kits, energy boosters, jetpacks and more. 


The eye-popping 3D graphics can be viewed from almost any angle with the mouse-controlled free-floating camera.

"Incubation" runs on the graphics engine from the award winning game "Extreme Assault" and supports many popular 3Dfx™ cards.

Battle your friends over a LAN, Kali™, Mplayer™, or via play-by-mail in the specially designed multi-player levels. Buy "Incubation" today and enjoy an incredible combination of gameplay and graphics judged to be "The Best Turned-Based Strategy Game of the Year" by PC Gamer!
