With the wealth of platformers out in the market today, developers have to make their own project stand out from the crowd with a unique look and innovative gameplay. The art style has to be eye-catching; if it isn’t, potential backers will back away without…
Fear effect Sedna’s first gameplay video has just been released, as well as a Kickstarter update stating that the game will also be ported to Xbox One and PS4. Seeing that the original Fear Effect games were released on Playstation back in the early 2000s,…
Everything about Ren Hu: Rebel Yell, from the “bitstream” art style to the cheesy guitar music, screams throwback. “Throwback” games certainly aren’t for everyone, but who doesn’t love a great beat em’ up? Ren Hu, developed by Lethal Games, is a “hardcore strategic” brawler featuring…
I’ve been playing games like Dragon Age and Diablo my whole life, and I sure love me some isometric RPG. Stellar Tactics looks to be in the same vein of those great games, albeit rooted in the sci-fi universe. Developed by Maverick Games, it features…

InSomnia is a “brutal dieselpunk” RPG heavily inspired by the original Fallout games and Wasteland 2. It takes cues from other RPG’s and more modern gaming, but if you didn’t know better you’d think you were playing Fallout 4 as designed by its original developers,…
Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for creativity and that Nintendo should expand upon my favorite franchises. However, a big part of how they were able to bring the video game market back from the dead after the Crash of 1983 was savvy marketing and quality…

When Boss Fight Books first braved the Kickstarter landscape, I was immensely intrigued. As a fan of gaming books, I was curious to see how they would turn out. The first one I read, ZZT by Anna Anthropy, knocked it out of the park. Subsequent…
Despite delivering exactly what was promised in the Kickstarter, Bear Simulator Developer, Farjay Studios, managed to get a scathing review from Youtube icon PewDiePie. Perhaps expecting the title to be more satirical and outlandish like Goat Simulator, Mr. Pie was extremely unimpressed with the ability to explore…
