About the Game



The Incredible Baron combines real-time strategy gameplay with over 45 collectible animal species in a tale of exploration, science, and betrayal. As Baron, you will explore an uncharted island, documenting its species and using their unique abilities to defeat nefarious adversaries in the cut-throat world of science. But as the adventure unfolds, you may begin to question the credibility of Baron's incredible boasts, leaving only your tactical skill and the know-how of Baron's crew as the deciding factors in Baron's fate.

In The Incredible Baron, you will:

  • Harness the unique strengths of over 45 new species that inhabit the island.
  • Experience a twisting tale of science and betrayal spanning 30 story levels and 60 challenge levels.
  • Customize your army and the tech tree itself as you build a team suited for each upcoming challenge.
  • Explore exotic environments presented in a gorgeous, 16-bit art style.
  • Meet a unique cast of characters and setting inspired by 18th century naturalists, Baron Munchausen, and Don Quixote.
