Back in early 2013 a Myst clone launched on Kickstarter simply called XING. At the time I knew little about it beyond a short tech demo but I was blown away by the quality at the time that it was enough to put a few…

Lobodestroyo – which I must admit I have taken a keen interest in – has returned to Kickstarter. After a lengthy absence, a CAT episode here at Cliqist, and an interview with project lead James Guy, Lobodestroyo is finally back with an update on Kickstarter….
E3 is just around the corner, and don’t for one second assume the world’s second largest gaming trade show is just for the big boys. Indeed, the little-indies-that-could get a seat at the table as well, and one of them is the Kickstarted Bloodstained: Ritual…
As a fan of the Myst series, when I saw The Eyes of Ara launch on Kickstarter I instantly knew that I had to back it. In addition to paying homage to the classic first person adventure game it also deals with some rather interesting…
In a recent blog post on Kickstarter, David Gallagher announced that the games slice of the proverbial pie has finally breached half a billion dollars in pledges. Which is actually pretty impressive considering the platform has only been in existence for a handful of years. But,…
I’ll admit that even though I’m a huge adventure game fan that I almost passed on the first person sci-fi game Deliver Us the Moon. The pitch wasn’t that great and the closest thing to a demo at the time was essentially a walk-through museum…
How many Kickstarter-funded games make it to the PlayStation 4? Almost every Kickstarter campaign for a video game has PC as their target platform. It’s only an elite few who aim to bring their game to a console, and fewer still who manage it. Indeed,…
Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a cute, kiddy puzzle game centered on a boy on his birthday. Appropriately enough, the title is a lie. Monsters didn’t eat his birthday cake so much as they stole slices of it and hid those slices all over…
For backers who fell into the $64 or higher tier on the Hyper Light Drifter campaign, this is a red letter day for you. According to the most recent update, developer Heart Machine has recently announced that the accompanying manual and SNES style box have…
I’ve been known on several occasions to back a Kickstarter project purely on nostalgia, and in the case of Cyan’s latest opus Obduction, this is certainly no exception. We’ve covered development before, but haven’t really delved that deep into the years-long cycle. With the latest…
Istanbul based Cultic Games just launched a Kickstarter campaign for Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, their take on the beloved Lovecraftian genre. While many games draw inspiration from the Cthulhu Mythos, rarely has one looked as tragically beautiful as Stygian. Touted as a game of “horror, loss, and madness,” Stygian…
After releasing an ill-advised trailer last week for Mighty No. 9, developer Comcept and publisher Deep Silver have released another trailer for the game. This one claims to be more honest and open with its intention and act as a sort of apology for the…
Lately, it seems that Kickstarter has become host to multiple campaigns focused on coffee table books filled with the images and history of systems past. After its first failed Kickstarter, retro-PC champ Giacomo Vernoni has roared back with another campaign for his Commodore VIC 20…
A shopkeeper by day, a monster slayer by night – I really like the sound of that. It kind of seems like the perfect amalgamation between Recettear and Monster Hunter, and it just so happens to best describe Digital Sun Games’ Moonlighter. You’ve probably already heard about…
The Kickstarter Primer video series aims to give those new to crowdfunding a look at what to know when backing your first campaign, we also want to give potential first-time campaign runners a glimpse into what makes a project successful or not. In this installment…
There’s a lot of half-baked ideas on Kickstarter. Sometimes it’s evident that someone has no idea how to run a campaign, but sometimes something truly baffling emerges. Call Of Honor: Tactical Warfare (Scope) is one of these games. It seems a little too sincere to…
