The term “permadeath” is a bit of a red flag for me. Nothing makes me run faster from an otherwise intriguing game, other than maybe zombies or overly simplistic pixel art, than seeing that term tagged on a game in Steam. Or simulators, those usually…
World War II isn’t the only historical period that gets to have fun on Kickstarter. There are plenty (read: a few) games that found success by breaking away from the mold. There are games about the American Civil War, Medieval Europe, and… well, that’s it…
Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest game of all time. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Those who say it’s a bad game should be put in jail. Anyone who thinks it’s not as good as Fallout 3 or 4, well… let’s just say those people…
Another day, another high-profile Kickstarter disaster. That’s not an altogether accurate sentiment, but it certainly feels like it. Last week, Playtonic released their much anticipated Yooka-Laylee. Unfortunately for them, things haven’t gone well as the collect-a-thon has received mixed reviews (you’ll notice Jim Sterling’s 2/10…
Indie developers are learning to utilize rabid backer fanbases to bring extra polish to their projects. Here’s a group of people who already love what you’re trying to do, so why not let them help you do it? Backers who get in on the campaign…

The changes made by Steam to their score system on September 12th may seem fairly minor, but there are some potentially major ramifications for crowdfunded games. User scores on Steam will no longer include reviews linked to key-activated games. Which, of course, is how almost all…
Have you ever pondered upon the peculiarities of becoming a stray dog, having to steal food from unsuspecting humans? I know, that’s quite the specific question, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised if I told you there’s a game focusing exactly on that concept….
If you’ve forgotten about the unique strategy RPG Yes, Your Grace from Brave at Night, you probably aren’t alone. It’s a game that’s well and truly entrenched in a long list of games funded around two to four years ago (December 2014 in this case)…
In Kickstarter Game of the Week, our staff samples Kickstarter’s finest avocados and brings you the freshest and ripest of the bunch. This week’s tasty morsel is an ambitious sci-fi exploration game called Transmission, and if you’ve watched our video about the game’s campaign, you…
It’s that time of year again, summer video game sales! GOG was first out of the gate with their sale, and they started things off strong with some amazing deals. In the interest of showing off the large number of great Kickstarter funded games available, as well…
Kim is an unusual game for a number of reasons. Its classic looking cel-shaded graphics, unique setting, and Rudyard Kipling inspiration make for a type of project you don’t see every day on Kickstarter, but one that is perfect for the platform. With two weeks left in the…
I’m a huge Ron Paul fan (more for the memes than the politics), but today we won’t be discussing politics. Instead, we’ll be discussing Ron Paul: Road to REVOLution, a 2D side-scroller that gathered $11,073 USD for a 2012 release and never saw the light of day….
