Horror games have been around for years now, but for the longest time some of the original concepts of a horror game were effectively lost. No longer were players powerless and instead received tons of weapons which all but diffused any real terror of the…
[dropcap size=big]P[/dropcap]uzzle games are interesting things, on their own they are fun for like five minutes (for me at least) so they are often fused into rpg in order to make them interesting, or at least that’s my observation. That’s not a criticism of the…

Thank goodness Starr Mazer is now on Kickstarter. A few days back I received an email about its impending release and knew instantly that this game was going to be hot. You can’t always predict if something will succeed, but every once in a while it’s…
Back in Kickstarter’s “gold rush” period, veteran developer Obsidian Entertainment took to the crowdfunding site with something called Project Eternity.

Roguelikes have taken the video game world by storm as of late. But what about the board game landscape? If you’re looking for a tense, challenging, and strategic gameplay experience with permadeath then take a peek at Necronauts. Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, this game…
It seems that whenever Cthulhu is invoked in media the goal is to somehow stop this entity from succeeding. Rise of Cthulhu takes a completely different path. In this card game you are the leader of a faction doing what they can to awaken Cthulhu…
It’s really exciting to see how so many great game ideas are born during game jams. Threshold is one such title which was initially devised for the Global Game Jam of 2014 – here’s a link where you can play it. However, that spark of…
Cantiza is a prosperous country with bountiful natural resources and incredible wealth. Yet, it is also on the brink of civil war. Underneath its gleaming exterior lies countless examples of corruption and injustice to citizens. With everything about to bubble over, a young girl named…
[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]f you’ve been keeping an eye on Kickstarter for the past few years then perhaps Crystal Catacombs is a familiar name to you. It was way back in 2011 when developer Maxwell Jensen tried, but ultimately failed, to raise funds for the game. Of…
Is 2015 the official “Year of Shooters” on Kickstarter? It just might be considering how the FPS genre has suddenly exploded onto the crowdfunding site where it previously had very little sway. Battle for the Sun was one of the first out the gate this…
