It’s no secret that Steam’s Early Access is flooded with identical looking, run-of-the-mill zombie survival games. Countless bugs, atrocious inventory management and plenty of murderous virtual psychopaths seem to be common characteristics for nearly all games fitting the genre. The Withering, however, is a bit…

Twenty-five years ago the team behind the Last Ninja series produced an innovative new title for the Commodore Amiga. Featuring beat’em up action mixed with exploration and RPG elements, First Samurai pushed the limits of 16 bit graphics. Now, Mev Dinc and Raff Cecco hope…
Since we published our article on the absence MegaTokyo, there have been two new updates on the Kickstarter page. If you recall, we talked with developer Fred Gallagher, and he hadn’t gone missing in action so much as he just stopped posting updates directly on…
After nearly 2 years of development and £5,303 raised on Kickstarter, Kim has finally matured to its final version. The Secret Games Company set out to create an open-world RPG that lets players explore Rudyard Kipling’s colonial India. Kim has been available as a Steam…
Adventure games are a curious phenomenon on Kickstarter. For every successful campaign there seems to be one that didn’t make it. I previously looked at the success to failure ratio, but in this article I want to specifically take a look at ten Kickstarter horror…
There are surprisingly few of Halloween themed games on Kickstarter. Sure there are plenty of spook-tastic horror games, but games actually about Halloween are few and far between. We already looked at some of those horror games that should be out in time for National…
Last time we wrote about Lost Ember, the developers were carefully preparing to enter Kickstarter’s flaming depths. As an attempt to amass an early following, the campaign launch was set to happen once Mooneye Studios hit 5000 newsletter followers. There was even that pretty Gamescom teaser trailer which…
A fair warning, a lot of law stuff is about to be spat out. If you have an aversion to that sort of thing, you might just want the highlights. That would be that the SEC (the US Securities and Exchange Commission) has ruled Fig…
You may not have played any of the Farming Simulator video games, but you’ve probably heard the name. Over the last eight years each of the annual releases from Giant Software has steadily grown in popularity, and it’s now one of the most popular franchises…
In these difficult times, it’s only natural to question humanity. We’ve seen the worst in ourselves all over the world in 2016. The sooner this year is over, the better as far as many are concerned. But there’s at least one hurdle we must still…
If you’ve been around the gaming section of Kickstarter for a while now, odds are that you’ve stumbled across Camelot Unchained at some point. The game collected over two million dollars worth of donations with nearly fifteen thousand backers. This is a pretty incredible feat…
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back. Yup, it’s time for the Question of the Week! This week we’re talking about the unusual, and fairly murky, OTON X Kickstarter campaign. As you know by now, the OTON X is a video…
You remember the Ouya, don’t you? Of course you do. It caused quite a commotion just a few years ago. Following the success of Ouya, it was only a matter of time before some copycat came along and tried to follow in its drunken footsteps….
Every once in a while, we like to bring your attention to games which have yet to land on Kickstarter’s perilous shores. Those are usually somewhat unpopular, a bit crude and wildly ambitious. Yet, things are a bit different when it comes to Lost Ember, an upcoming story-driven exploration…
Neo-Victorian Skirmish Squad has an extensive past, one that’s richer than its present and likely its future. Its Kickstarter campaign began September 5, 2013, with Terncraft Games at the helm. The Kickstarter page tells us David Sushil is the man behind the company. But he’s…
We last wrote about The Hero Trap over a year ago. If you’ve forgotten, it was described by developer Smashworx as “a frenetic rogue like like where dungeon dwellers are hellbent on your destruction.” Sounds riveting, doesn’t it? Well, you’re going to have to find…
