As an incredibly huge Lovecraft fan, once I heard about the horror cRPG Stygian I didn’t hesitate to back it. And based on what I knew it looked like it held true to the lore and Mythos while making the subject matter its own. However,…

I’m going to really date myself here, but I’ve been a fan of the Atari brand for as long as I can remember. Now, I wasn’t around at the dawn of the company but the very first console my family ever owned was an Atari…
I found the Dire Vengeance Kickstarter a little sparse for my taste. I’m still undecided as to whether it’s condensed or lacking, but either way, I’m left unsatisfied. When I saw the trailer for this retro-style 2D Action Platformer I was excited. It looks great!…
AutoAttack Games only secured funding for Legion TD2 a few months ago, but they aren’t wasting any time in showing off what they’ve been working on. Backers just got their first hands-on with Legion TD2 in the form of an exclusive Steam Pre-Alpha Demo. Back in March, AutoAttack raised…
The backstory behind first person horror game Allison Road is a long and winding one, almost as tortuous as that pun. It was a spiritual successor to P.T., which was a playable teaser (hence the name) of Hideo Kojima led Silent Hills. Hideo Kojima is…
E3 was wonderful this year, and while our coverage of it has been minimal, that doesn’t mean we’ve completely ignored it. Well, not all of us anyway. Among the handful of crowdfunded games on offer at the once largest gaming trade show in the world…
After months without updates, Paul Zakrzewski, the man behind Void Destroyer, has posted news about the planned sequel. The first Void Destroyer, a hybrid of space combat and real-time strategy, ran a successful campaign and the developer released the game in January 2015. Though Kickstarter marked the…
Hot on the heels of Mighty No. 9’s release (and the already mediocre reviews) this week’s episode of Kicked! is all about the gray and blue bomber. Or the blue and gray bomber, or even grey and blue if you’re feeling frisky. In all the…
Where do I even begin with the Mighty No.9 documentary? We all know that the Mighty No.9 Kickstarter is a continuous source of dissatisfaction for backers. Maybe I’m still a little sore from that Anime-fan on prom night comment. However, even before that, we’ve been documenting…
You’ll remember that previously this action adventure game caught my eye. Broc Copeland is certainly one of the more committed Kickstarter developers I’ve come across. It is very clear to me that he wants Guardians of the Rose to succeed and is willing to chase that success….
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…
Stretch goals are usually added to a crowdfunding campaign in order for a game to earn more funding beyond the “base game”. Usually these are sweet enough to hopefully unlock as time goes on. Unfortunately, not all stretch goals for every campaign are met and there…
In a previous Kickstarter Primer feature I talked about add-ons and how they work. But, I didn’t tackle the reward tiers themselves. These are essentially the “base” pledge levels where everyone who picks it gets what’s listed in that level. Usually everything at the tiers…
For those of us unable to attend E3 and to see all the cool new games coming out, 100 Stones Interactive has released in the latest update for The Eyes of Ara the teaser trailer being shown off at the show. I have to say…
It’s always sad to see a project not make funding on Kickstarter, but it’s even more depressing to see a creator have to make the tough decision to refund backers due to development taking too long or some other issue. In the case of Necromancer,…
Distress may not have been due to be released until the end of the month but developer Light Machine have made the sensible decision to announce in advance that the sci-fi/horror visual novel will be delayed from June to autumn/winter of 2016. The three-man team…
