That City of the Shroud is attempting to recreate the magic of Final Fantasy Tactics and similar games should come as no surprise. Quite a few indie games have set out to do something along those lines recently. I’ve written about several here on Cliqist…
Beast’s Fury is a 2d fighting game that had a successful Indiegogo campaign back in June 2013, raising over $21,000 of a $5000 flexible funding goal. In May 2014 the games developers launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise money to improve the games quality, ultimately…
I’ll admit right now, the announcement of Psychonauts 2 at The Game Awards 2015 was a shock to me. What wasn’t a shock was that it would be coming to fruition thanks in part to crowdfunding. The minute it was announced, my immediate reaction was…
This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill! During the Game Awards 2015, Tim Schafer took to the stage to announce Psychonauts 2, coming not to Kickstarter, but Fig. Fig is a brand new crowdfunding website exclusively for games, with a…
Fig.co is a crowdfunding website which sounded like a pretty neat idea at the start. After all, for years we’ve been hearing people complain about how Kickstarter isn’t about “investing” in projects. In many ways, the popular site is utilized like a very early pre-ordering…
The Kickstarter page for space combat simulator CDF Starfighter shows off some impressive screenshots, some even more impressive gameplay videos and comes from a development studio that has already released two games on Steam. So why has it got off to such a comparatively slow…
I’ll freely admit that I haven’t been heavily into Metroidvania games, at least not for the past couple of decades. But, that doesn’t mean that I won’t play them if they’ve got that special little something that catches my attention. In the case of Dark…
The Fighting Fantasy ‘choose your own adventure’ series of books will be familiar to many gamers who grew up in the 1980s (and possibly 1990s) with memories of making your own decisions through the non-linear storylines, flicking through to the appropriate pages and rolling dice…
You might have heard the news recently that Scribblenauts developer 5THCELL was planning to crowdfund its next IP through the shiny new Fig platform. Well, now everything has been set in motion, and Anchors in the Drift has officially begun its public journey. Here’s what…
Viva la revolucion! Most adventure games take you on a quest of some importance. Whether it’s to save the kingdom or just to find a nice place to nap most tend to be on the epic side of epicness. And Viktor looks to take this…
Looks like Scribblenauts developer 5TH Cell are set to join the crowdfunding scene. A recent press release confirms the fact, which I’ve painstakingly read through in order to write this article. Allow me to present a translation of whatever language it is that these executives…
After playing a game of BattleCON Online with JR Honeycutt for a hands-on review I wanted to give the actual card game itself a go to see how it played on the tabletop as well as the desktop. While we pretty much cover video games…
Dieselstörmers is no more – not its title, anyway, as developer Black Forest Games has lost a legal battle with fashion label Diesel, as announced on the project’s Kickstarter page (and further detailed in a developer blog post). Wonder what they’re going to call the…
When Between Heartbeats launched on Kickstarter earlier this week I was sure it was going to be a success. It’s a shmup for Steam and the WII U with pretty graphics, smooth looking controls, and a cute gimmick that doesn’t beat you over the head…
We’ve heard the story before. The kingdom’s in peril and it’s up to a band of unlikely adventurers to take up the quest to rid the land of evil. The king’s dead, murdered by an unknown assailant. The queen has taken it upon herself to…
