The Word Realms Kickstarter has ironically failed to articulate itself, causing confusion and upset among its backers. The breakdown of communication spawns from the confusing description of the game which led many backers to believe they were backing an MMO project. But the game they received was…

Card games all generally play the same way: You build a deck and battle an opponent until they run out of health. Sometimes, one comes along with unique gameplay that changes things up. In the case of Allians, this is in the cards themselves. The gameplay is…
War! HUH! What is it good for? Anti-war media, for a start. Such as Long Gone Days, by Camila Gormaz and Pablo Videla. It attempts to look at the “modern day military” using an underground nation (literally in this case) of mercenaries. It’s safe to…
Have you heard about that exploration game? You know, the communist one about skies and such? Many people feel a bit let down by that game, despite the promise behind it. For those who feel a little burned by the hype, fear not. There is…
It’s been eight months since the last time Antonis Pelekanos provided an update for The 90’s Arcade Racer. So, we’ve dug around to find out what happened to this throwback arcade racer. What we found is somewhat conjectural, but no less disappointing. The 90’s Arcade…
A few months ago Slain! released to lackluster reviews. What should have been a heavy metal inspired 90’s platformer ended up being a broken, buggy mess. Now, Wolf Brew Games has released an update detailing a new version that fixes most of the prevalent issues…
911 recordings can be painful reminders of what was potentially the worst day of someone’s life. Since these recordings and their transcripts are a matter of public record, news outlets frequently air them without issue. They are seen as merely reporting the news. Things become…
August 11th saw a new Kickstarter update for Last Year, the 5 vs 1 survival horror game. There was plenty to report on, as you might expect with four months having elapsed since the last update. This latest post included the news that the character models (five survivors…
In Anime Studio Simulator by Visualnoveler, you have to help realize Yukari’s dream of making her own anime with a team of four of her friends. With a deadline looming and many options available, you have to chose how best to expend the team’s energy, talents and…
As a fan of fast-paced shooter games, I thought Eliosi’s Hunt would be right up my alley. You play as Eliosi, a Zelicyan who dreams of becoming a bounty hunter. Due to Eliosi’s small size, he was forced to use his brain rather than his strength. He…
Alpha builds are frustrating and not usually for the right reasons. It’s difficult sometimes to taper your enthusiasm for a game to fit what the developers actually have available. Even though, logically, you understand that there might be game breaking bugs, balance issues, or placeholder…
Let me start by saying that I love historical, World War-based games. Whether it’s a good old Call of Duty 2 or a more unorthodox and charming Valiant Hearts doesn’t really make a difference – I find the setting to carry an oddly specific and magical essence in all cases. That’s one of…
Kickstarter backers of Jagged Alliance: Flashback received their digital copies of the turn-based strategy game upon release way back in October 2014, and Danish development studio Full Control closed down in 2015, yet some backers are still complaining. But with no-one to complain to, what’s…
One of the most intriguing dead Kickstarters I have come across is Dwarfcorp. Reading through the updates, there is no indication of trouble. In fact, the campaign’s apparent abandonment seems entirely unexpected. This led me to wonder if it was intentionally abandoned or if something happened…
It’s no secret that Keiji Inafume’s Mighty No. 9 isn’t exactly a great game. Reviews came along and everyone’s fears proved to be right, a most bitter tasting bite being left for Mega Man fans and all those who decided to support the initial Kickstarter pitch. After a…
An early access title like Ark: Survival Evolved selling over 400,000 units in less than a week is impressive. Hearing that Studio Wildcard brought in more than $10 million in revenue during that same week is enough to make any aspiring developer take notice of Steam’s Early Access…
