With Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll, they’re bringing a Russian twist to the ever-popular genre. To top things off, a 1980s setting, rock soundtrack and a playable demo almost…

Adventure games have come a long way since the 90’s. With the advent of new technology, many now feature 3D graphics, full voice acting, and other gimmicks. But there’s just something about the old school style that today’s games just don’t match. That’s why The…
After an extended break, Kicked! is back on Cliqist, this time with Divinity: Original Sin. Watch as I find all new ways of angering a fan base, and completely butcher the name of one of the games I talk about. Strap yourselves in, its going…
When your quaint seaside town has been besieged by imps there is only one clear solution: enchanted facial hair. At least, that’s what the team at Glovebox Games would have us believe. They are hoping to fund their game, Beard Blade on Kickstarter for $95,000….
When it comes to adventure games, I generally want to know a bit about the story before becoming enamored with it. However, sometimes just the visuals alone has me wanting to know more. Coming to Kickstarter October 3, Nairi is a cute point and click game…
While scrolling through the ever-growing list of games on Kickstarter, I found one in particular that caught my eye. Inspired by Megaman Battle Network, Hearthstone and Street Fighter, Tri Wing is a game being developed for PC and mobile. Vincent Veak is the one man…
Ocean of The Lost is a multiplayer naval combat game now on Kickstarter, set in the Caribbean. Currently offered in its early form, dubbed the “battle version”, it hopes to develop further into an MMO. Aside from team-based combat, the final version of Ocean of the Lost will…
I’d be surprised if you’ve heard anything about BrightLocker in the past few months. Ever since I covered the up and coming crowdfunding platform last November, there hasn’t exactly been a ton of press coverage and information surrounding the website. Interaction on its social platforms isn’t common,…
A game called Guts and Glory arrived on Kickstarter last week. No, I’m not talking about that mobile swiping game with the muscular gladiators wielding gigantic weaponry. Instead, think of it more as a 3D Happy Wheels, where you navigate open environments in race-like scenarios involving…
While most tactical strategy games focus on the solo experience, Dungeon of Zaar hopes to stand out by emphasizing multiplayer. Specifically, by engaging players in strategic PvP battles as they progress through the dungeon of the Archmage, Zaar. The turn-based combat is meant to be…
I love a game with a unique look and style. I love it even more if it’s in a genre that I enjoy playing. In the case of Backdrop, it looks like a sort of hybrid between adventure game and RPG, both styles of play…
Remember the old days, when games didn’t grind the action to a halt to show you a half-baked 15-minute cutscene about why the main character needs to Shoot the Bad Guys? Ruckert Broductions hopes to bring you back to those days with Redie (pronounced “re-die”,…
It would be easy to overlook the Kickstarter campaign for Lost in Vivo. The page consists primarily of a brief trailer and a link to the demo download. There’s none of the usual funding breakdowns, concept art, or screen shots you typically see in successful crowdfunding….
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back. Yup, it’s time for the Question of the Week! This week we’re talking about the unusual, and fairly murky, OTON X Kickstarter campaign. As you know by now, the OTON X is a video…
Many recent indie games interpret retro inspiration exclusively as pixel art and chip tunes, so it’s nice to find one willing to modernize their presentation. Light Fairytale is a turn-based Japanese-style RPG that draws inspiration from classics like Final Fantasy 7 and Breath of Fire 5 without…
Put down the pitchforks and let me explain. Infinite Legacy, an open-world RPG where the player determines the story, was originally funded on Kickstarter in January 2015. What started as a fun side-project ended up raising $6,896 before growing and changing over 2 years in…
