Last week, my colleague and prom fan on anime night Serena Nelson wrote an article detailing the success and failure rate of point and click adventure games on Kickstarter. She’s a big fan of the genre, and seeing her break down the genre in terms…
Mighty No. 9 is known for many things – none of which are good. The past two years of delay announcements made it seem like the game might never even come to fruition. However, for better or for worse, it finally launched last month to tremendous…
Lonely Star, the first game from developer PeaceSoft, is shaping up to be one of the most unique games this year. The game is a 2D ARPG set in the Arizona desert prior to the destruction of Earth in 2012. You depart with your merry band…
‘Shadow of the Colossus in the snow’. That’s the premise of Prey for the Gods in seven words and that in itself should be enough to tempt you to check out the video at which point you’ll probably come to the same conclusion as everyone…
Another Monday means another episode of the award winning Cliqist series – Kicked! This week’s episode is all about Kingdom Come Deliverance, an RPG with a unique twist. Well, it shouldn’t be unique at all, but in the world of video games it’s about as…
If you’ve forgotten about the unique strategy RPG Yes, Your Grace from Brave at Night, you probably aren’t alone. It’s a game that’s well and truly entrenched in a long list of games funded around two to four years ago (December 2014 in this case)…
If Mighty No. 9 has done any good, it’s kicked (for lack of a better phrase) Kickstarter developers with long overdue games into gear. More and more developers are referencing the ill-fated game, promising not to fail into the same trap, or worse. Who knows…
When on Earth is Steam Bandits: Outpost going to be released? Well, the answer is Q4 2016. And Q2 2017. And Q4 2017. Wait, what? Yeah you read that right. Since iocaine studios announced in a March 2016 Kickstarter update that the game is 60%…
Simply put, SHMUPS are awesome and I fangirl over them all the time. What’s better than rapidly turning waves of enemies into flaming space shrapnel, only to face branching paths while searching for upgrades and taking down epic bosses? The 80’s and 90’s were chockful…
It’s starting to become a regular thing to see AJ Tilley in some form running a campaign on Kickstarter under some name or another. I’m not even sure how many accounts he and Dharker Studio have used over the past few years, but it certainly…
Welcome back to Cliqist’s Kickstarter Game of the Week, a special segment where we unlock the darkest secrets of underwater basket weaving. This week’s Kickstarter Game of the Week is the impending remake of System Shock, and while reboots can take many ghastly forms, this…
Sometimes the tiniest nibble is enough for you to want the whole damn pie; “short but sweet” is how I chose to describe the demo of Kickstarter project Zed to Chuck Carter. Chuck is the founder and president of Eagre Games, the crew behind Zed,…
Kickstarter campaigns are rarely hurt by developers bringing too much to the table. As we’ve covered in the past, typically the opposite is true. Campaigns that offer minimal information or developer involvement rarely see the light of day. So, it might be tempting to take every…
Deadwood: The Forgotten Curse, an action/adventure with a survival twist now has a slightly larger selection of models. In the eleventh monthly update since the game’s funding, Steamroller Studios has released new images of a major location, parts of a few character animation, and pigs….
Before I start with why Discarded Angel isn’t worth the digital paper it’s being written on I want to state for the record that I have absolutely no problem with playing an adult themed game. You really should check out my Hentai collection. I’m certainly…
Yu Suzuki and Ys Net have celebrated the first anniversary of the Shenmue III Kickstarter and to commemorate this momentous occasion they’ve… released an 80 second video featuring Yu-San looking back at the past year.
