With over a month to go, Gloom’s Kickstarter campaign is inching closer and closer to spreading “from your table top to your screen.” What does Gloom share in common with Hearthstone and Gwent? Yup, that’s right, they’re all card games. Released in 2004 and designed…
If Kickstarter has taught us anything, it’s to never trust a game based on the former glories of its developers. That being said, Kickstarter has also taught us that sometimes we should just be grateful the game even comes out at all. Energy Hook, funded…
Crowdfunding is an investment, not a purchase. This has become the mantra of failed developers meant to shield them from criticism when a crowdfunded game fizzles out and dies. While Kickstarter’s “Terms of Use” provide some guidelines for the process, it is far from perfect….
Little Devil Inside caught my eye as soon as I saw it in action in May last year. The game’s colourful, polygonal art style reminds me of my favourite Zelda title, The Wind Waker, if Wind Waker was given steampunk weapons and more beheadings in its combat. But,…
It’s a long honored tradition among many a folk to indulge in the trashiest of horror, myself included. That being said, I do try to avoid bashing something for the sake of bashing it when it feels like someone is really giving it their best,…
It always makes me mad when I see someone try to piggy-back off of another legitimate crowdfunding campaign but it especially drives me crazy when it’s with as deserving a game as Columnae. Today we were witness to someone creating a fake campaign on Indiegogo…
Dustin Hyden was an ad man. An ad man not in the age of Don Drapers and other tobacco moguls, with their slick-backed hairstyles and tailor-made suits, but an ad man in the digital age. Only but a year ago, he was just another business…
I had planned to make a bad joke here but instead I’ll refrain from making a pig out of myself. I want to be a bacon of professionalism, after all. The last thing I want to do is pork fun at a game like Pigsodus….
The space shooter genre has always intrigued me for its resilience to shift with the general games market. When every other shooter was shoving in half baked leveling systems it stayed without. When the entire industry began heading towards accessibility and homogenized systems and mechanics…
War isn’t an uncommon theme to gaming. With everything from gameplay driven industry giants like Call of Duty, to casual phone apps like Clash of Clans, the market for games about war have always thrived. Long Gone Days is a little different in its approach….
When it comes to romantic visual novels you usually think of a guy (or girl) actively trying to woo someone of the opposite (or same) sex. So it’s a bit of breath of fresh air that Talk to Me tries to buck these trends with…
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 porn. Porn, that thing that makes the internet go round. Ok, more specifically, the sketchy standing of explicit videogame content on Kickstarter. What’s your opinion…
When it comes to crowdfunding, most of the time a project creator only runs one campaign for one project. Unless it doesn’t get funding the first time around, and they return to try again a second or even third time. But, there are a few…
I’m all for games with interesting concepts and gameplay but sometimes a title comes around that might be trying to do too much in one go. While I love the idea behind Serment – Contract With a Devil they’re also promising a lot of different…
River City Ransom Underground is ready… almost. It’s now content complete which means the end is at least in sight with just balancing, bug fixing and optimisation to go. [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWDEs434hA[/embedyt] The scrolling beat ’em up is the officially licensed sequel to one of the…
We at Cliqist use a service called Trello to decide who writes what stories. Right now, it’s full of stuff no one really wants, and its getting out of hand. Or out of foot I should say, because one of the available stories is about…
