Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is our latest episode of CAT, and one of the harder ones to write. That’s not because HGH’s Kickstarter campaign was particularly bad, or particularly brilliant either. There’s just not much to say about the campaign, good or bad. I only chose…

Fun fact: this episode of CAT was originally 30 minutes long. You’re welcome. The Ouya is one of the most interesting things to happen in gaming, let alone Kickstarter or crowdfunding. If someone were to tell you an indie game focused console would hit the…
In my previous articles on Soulbound Studios’ MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria, I discussed everything from in-game death to identity theft to body dynamics. With the substantial amount of info available on the Chronicles of Elyria website, I’ll be changing gears this time around to touch…
Space shooters were the norm in the early days of the arcades, almost to the point of over-saturation. However, none can discount the impact of iconic greats like Space Invaders, Asteroids and Galaga. Now imagine throwing all of those into a blender, along with action-RPG…
Safe Zone is a zombie survival game that was successfully funded in July 2011. It raised north of $6,000, and promised to be Oregon Trail game but with zombies. The original release date was Fall 2011, but now five years on, there’s no end in…
It is hard to tell just exactly why a game gets added or rejected by a digital distribution platform like GOG.com, but it’s always good to see when one does get put up. In the case of Cyberpunk RPG Dex they’ve had a really hard…
Lobodestroyo has completely eluded our attention here on Cliqist, getting only a brief mention in a Yooka-Laylee article a year ago. Fitting, since like that game, Lobodestroyo sells itself on being just like Banjo-Kazooie. Unlike Yooka-Laylee though, Lobodestroyo is influenced by other games, like Mega…
Niten, the Japanese island walking sim created by Donald Macdonald, was unsuccessfully funded on Kickstarter. It managed to raise roughly £6,015 of its goal of £15,000. I had a chance to cover Niten and correspond with Donald over the course of the last few weeks,…
One of the things that I love talking about in my articles is not just a specific game itself but also the people behind these interesting titles. It’s quite possible that few people outside of the adventure game community would have heard of the name…
With the launch of The Wild Eight’s pre-alpha demo last week week, we reached out to developer 8pts to address some of the complaints and inquiries that have been previously brought up about the game on Cliqist. As of May 5th, 8pts has fully funded the…
An animated, wise old man once cryptically stated that “you can’t rush art“. However, when you’re a backer, you typically fall into one of two camps: The Investor or The Customer. Where The Investor will gladly back the campaign with an amount that they’re comfortable…
I was pleasantly surprised when I read through Taylor Bair’s reply after having previously reached out to him for a few comments on the upcoming SRPG Arcadian Atlas. He explained to me in very blunt terms that he was sick of spitting out the same monotonous…
I love me a good first person shooter game. Ever since I got my hands on a copy of Doom by id Software I became a fan of the genre. Which is why when I saw Blackroom launch on Kickstarter it became a no-brainer to…
I am a patient person, but even I have my limits. Back in 2012 we saw a lot of great looking adventure games launch on Kickstarter, several of which I backed myself. However, I’m still waiting on a handful and unfortunately Reincarnation: The Root of…
Some Kickstarter campaigns are so infuriating you feel like you have no choice but to scream at the top of your lungs every complaint you have in the hope the creator will hear you. Unfortunately, the 10% of the internet that isn’t comprised of cat…
Doesn’t 2012 seem like an age ago? That fateful August when the Oculus Rift appeared on Kickstarter and inspired people like the developers of Proton Pulse Rift. Here we are in 2016 with the HTC, Project Morpheus, and Oculus demonstrating the power of VR; it really…
