Grindhouse Games Presents More Incursion Previews
June 26, 2013 by dracs
Grindhouse Games are continuing to release new art pieces to whet our appetites for the coming Incursion Kickstarter, with the latest pieces taking the style of grindhouse movie posters.
This piece brings all of the previous pieces of concept art we have seen together into a pulp movie style poster, a format which brilliantly matches the frantic, over-the-top horror style of the game.
It is interesting to see the changes of style which have taken place when this is shown alongside the original poster for the game's first edition.
While we have yet to see anything really new these art pieces make me very hopeful for the game's re-release. It gives us a bit of insight into the direction the game could be heading, as well as making me really excited for what else we might see in the near future.

Some of the artwork on their site looks really good, ill be keeping an eye on it.
I never played Incursion but over the last couple of years I’ve really gotten into the pulpy Weird War 2 “thing” so I shall be watching the progress of this one with great interest!
I think I like the original art much better. It’s a bit more quirky and less obviously US comic influenced. There’s too much focus on sexual exaggeration in the new art. Long legs, stockings and whip. Really necessary? Still, I love the game and want to see them plastics!
“There’s too much focus on sexual exaggeration in the new art. Long legs, stockings and whip. Really necessary?”
But that’s what she has looked like since day one.
Gretel von X was “Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS” esq while her sister Ilsa von X was the pulp female nazi supersoldier with gasmask, combats, boots, shirt and bodice/bustier.
In this case I am willing to forgive the overtly sexual imagery as the game’s style is a deliberate play on over-the-top pulpy grindhouse cinema.
Yeah, over the last year I have come to appreciate that there is a difference (in my eyes) between a deliberate, overly sexualised style that is consistent across an entire range and a company releasing half-naked female minis where every male mini in the same range is what you might consider ‘normal’ in appearance. I still roll my eyes at the latter, but I’m much less likely to dismiss the former out of hand. So far, I’m really digging Incursion’s visual style 🙂
