Inkbound Devs Would “Definitely Love” a Console Version of the Game

In case you’re looking for something different, Shiny Shoe has released Inkbound on Steam this April, and it’s a turn-based tactical roguelike from the creators of Monster Train. For those who saw the game or have played it on PC and wondering if it’ll see the light of day on consoles, we were wondering the same thing, so when we got the chance to talk to the studio, that’s one of the things we did,

Speaking to MP1st, we asked Shiny Shoe’s Creative Director Andrew Krausnick whether Inkbound is console bound at some point.

MP1st: Why isn’t the game available on consoles? Are there any plans in the future of bringing it to the Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch?

Andrew Krausnick: Nothing I can talk about right now as always, that’s a lot of other partnerships. The great thing about Steam is that we’re on there. We do it ourselves and all that stuff. We would definitely love to and hopefully at some point in the future We can talk about things.

While nothing has been confirmed, it does sound like the studio is aiming for a console version at some point in the future. Over on Steam, the game has received mostly “Very Positive” reviews at the time of this writing.

In case you’re curious how it plays, go read our review where we state, “There’s a certain addictive and wondrous factor in Inkbound that creeps in and may trigger your childhood imagination, enticing you to go for just another run, time after time.”

Stay tuned to our full interview with Shiny Shoe regarding the game later this week.
