History VideoGame / Inca

** ''Inca II'' has the actoes' mouths digitally sync to the dialogue, with occasional blinks of the eyes.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: Floating Moai statues act as practice targets in the game's space tutorial. One of the rooms in the final maze also has Moai statues set into every wall.

* AutobotsRockOut: The track "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2z4Gms-lpQ Katchampa]]" that plays during the Trench shooter segments has a wailing electric guitar alongside a frantic Andean wind track.

* ControllableHelplessness: When Atauhalpa gets to use one of the gun turrets on Celt's ship, he is able to fend off a number of enemy ships, until an unusually potent fighter shows up. [[spoiler: And the player can't stop it from blowing up the ship and killing Atahualpa.]]

The setting is an achronic war between Incas and Spaniards that takes place in space. Levels vary in gameplay, forming a variable and rich gameplay, however the surreal nature of the game (common in Coktel Vision adventures) gives no comprehensive storyline or solution to riddles, which are solved simply by trying random item combinations. Huayna Capac, last grand Inca, after 500 years of his death, prepares a warrior called El Dorado to fight Aguirre, the Spanish leader. El Dorado will find himself in space flying a Tumi-shaped spaceship and dogfight with Spanish spaceships. El Dorado will find himself fighting his way through mazes, or on board the Spanish mothership (actually a Galleon flying in space) trying to escape, he will meet the Aclla and uncover three magical gems that will help him vanquish the Conquistadors.

* StatOVision: During space battles, Dalán will automatically aim your weapons at enemy fighters when in range, and show you their hit-points. Averted when faced with the Spanish Galleons, however.

** Inca II has this in the menu bar, along with the ability to [[ReplayMode rewatch cutscenes at will]].

* LandDownunder: At one point, the ''Tumi'' lands in Australia, where Celt and El Dorado enlist the help of an astronomer named Yuna to pinpoint how to take out the asteroid.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: One of the rooms in the final maze has Moai statues set into every wall.

* JustifiedTutorial: At the start, you are given the option to either solve a logic puzzle, or practice combat. Either of these is a test to prove your worth to join the Inca council.

* SoundTest: You can listen to all the game's songs at your home base, and even play with a pan pipe next to the controls.

* AbortedArc: [[spoiler: Due to the GainaxEnding below, nothing regarding Celt's implied betrayal or taking down Aguirre is addressed.]]
* AdventurerOutfit: Celt sports a bomber pilot outfit, complete with cowl and goggles. He's even seen wearing the goggles when in space combat.

* ChekhovsGun: Early on, El Dorado uncovers the blueprints for a tri-wing spacecraft called the Boomerang, and Celt uses it to build these for the Incan army. Toward the endgame, just when Aguirre's forces appear in full force, [[spoiler: hundreds of boomerangs arrive to hold them at bay.]]

* EyepatchOfPower: Captain Diego de Melagro, who [[spoiler: killed Atahualpa]].

* HesitationEqualsDishonesty: After the ''Tumi'' is repaired, Celt [[spoiler: slips up his part of the conversation, "I am always willing to help, my looord." No one else notices.]]

* TemptingFate: After your father and Celt intercept the Tumi in a much larger ship, the former tells you, "Do not. Touch. Anything!" before the two men take off in their ships. The player has to disobey to progress.
* TractorBeam: The Tumi includes a Grapnel, which El Dorado uses to rescue Celt when his ship malfunctions after the first space battle.

* EyepatchOfPower: Captain Diego Delagro, who [[spoiler: killed Atahualpa]].

* CoolStarship: Your golden Incan space fighter, the ''Tumi'', complete with a [[ComputerVoice talking flight computer]] named Dalán.

* StatOVision: During space battles, Dalán will automatically aim your weapons at enemy fighters when in range, and show you their hit-points. Averted when faced with the Spanish Galleons, however.
