Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back; yup, it’s the Question of the Week! This week it’s all about the big guy. Yup, those big name developers with their big name games funding through Kickstarter. Do they belong, or should they…

Remember the times when magazines and demo disks were the holy grail of gaming? Not only could you read about the latest in AAA, but there was also the chance to play the hottest demos around the block, getting to spend a few precious minutes full of carefully orchestrated gameplay…
I’ve been excited for The St. Christopher’s School Lockdown ever since I backed the Kickstarter campaign and I’m still looking forward to finally see the game released. And I’m not just saying that because I’ve become friends with Laney Berry, either. It looks like a…
When it’s all said and done, Red Ash’s Kickstarter campaign might go down as one of the biggest failures in Kickstarter history. It’s not a genuine scam like some others, and it’s not even the worst put together crowdfunding campaign in the world. But it…
Did you know that there are games that aren’t crowdfunded? I know, it’s hard to believe, but there’s a whole world of games out there that we don’t cover on Cliqist. In fact, there are other websites that cover the games we shun. Yes, dear…
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…
I have never seen a crowdfunding campaign subvert my expectations as often as Ardent Seas. Like most people, I began making assumptions of the game based solely on the quick description at the top of the campaign. “Build your fleet, conquer islands, and engage in…
When it comes to visual novels, while I do enjoy a good Western story my passion lies more towards the original Japanese tales. Unfortunately, I know pretty much zero Japanese which means I’m forced to wait for translation projects like Sharin no Kuni. And crowdfunding…
Frogs have sort of a weird pressence in games don’t they? From the classic Frogger to Slippy to Battletoads, amphibians arent an unusual sight, but they still feel like a somewhat unusul choice for a hero. Possibly because they’re slimy and traditionally associated with witches. Maybe…
I’ll freely admit that I’m not a huge mecha fan. Sure, I do enjoy a good anime or roleplaying game that heavily focuses on it but I’m nowhere near as dedicated to the genre as some people are. That said, the rich history behind the…
I’m a sucker for adventure games but sometimes a premise isn’t enough to sell me on backing it. In the case of Kelvin and the Infamous Machine I almost passed on it entirely. That was when it was called Inspire Me and the idea of some…
I’m a sucker for the oddball game, and the weirder and more surreal it is the better. In the case of Four Last Things, this is most certainly the case as you’re not just playing a strange adventure game with some really wicked and dark…
When it comes to crowdfunding, I’m as much of a fan of nostalgia as I am towards unique game concepts. However, does nostalgia have a place on Kickstarter, and do the big projects deserve to be funded by fans? That depends, of course, on a…
I was a little surprised by Wizard of Legend’s large funding goal of $50,000. Usually, when I see a retro or pixel art style game on Kickstarter it’s on a shoe string budget. I’m not sure what all the money is going to go into…
When it comes to adventure games I try to back as many as I possibly can on Kickstarter. Of course, there have been way too many over the past four years and change that I only managed to get on board about 134 of them,…
Remember the 80’s? Remember technicolor hairbands and punk rock? Remember the ninjas that invaded New York and kidnapped all those random people? No? Well, developer ShadowTeam remembers, and they’re trying to send us back to the arcade side-scroller era with Shadow Gangs. Borrowing the style…
