What governors are saying

Real players from the Founders World.

Truly amazing game. The closest thing to Inselkampf I've ever found, and the improvements honestly might make it even better than Inselkampf was.
Gavlar itch.io review
I played Inselkampf on the UK server back in 2003 for about two years. Loved it. I googled Inselkampf today and this game appeared. Very pleased to have found it.

Great game. I'd never played Inselkampf, but I'm still invested, and have been for weeks.
Pytale itch.io review
On the iPad it looks amazing. More polished than most games out there.

It's been a blast seeing what everyone is doing. I used to play these types of games back in the day, and I love your take on it.

A Strategy Game Built for the Long Haul

Inselnova is a slow-burn strategy game built for people with jobs. Check in twice a day, queue your next build or attack, and come back later — your island keeps working while you're gone, and you still matter. And when life gets busy, shutter your island for up to 21 days — fleets turned away, nothing lost.

The Spirit of Inselkampf, Reborn

Classic Inselkampf knight

Remember Inselkampf? The classic German browser strategy game where you'd build farms and mines, research spears, shields, and sails, then send your fleet to conquer rival islands? It disappeared years ago — but the spirit lives on.

Inselnova is a faithful reimagining of Inselkampf, rebuilt from scratch with modern technology. Same core gameplay — build, research, train, sail, conquer — plus new features like espionage missions, a real-time marketplace, alliance diplomacy, and mobile support. If you loved Inselkampf, you'll feel right at home.

A Governor's Arrival

The sea was calm when I first saw the islands.

They looked scattered and quiet, each one waiting for someone bold enough to claim it. No empire rules these waters. No king commands the fleets. Here, every island belongs to the governor strong enough to hold it.

A frontier.

Some governors grow rich through trade. Others command fleets and seize new islands by force. Alliances rise and collapse with the tide, and the strongest domains are built slowly, island by island.

And one day, if I rule wisely enough, every sail on that horizon may fly under my banner.
