If you haven’t picked up on the trend from my previous articles yet, you’ll know that I’m a sucker for roguelikes and RPGs. What you may not know is that I’m all for the deep storylines and side-scrolling action of games past, and Death Story…
Ever since I first played the survival horror adventure game Stasis I’ve been hooked on the Brotherhood Games initial outing. Then I heard about their DLC known only as CAYNE was in development as an extension of the universe housing the shadowy corporation and it’s…
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…
I love Norse mythology, I really do. I love how it worms its way into gaming as a whole, from the Fenrir wolf to Midgar and Nibelheim in Final Fantasy VII. The concept of Norse mythology being part of a beat ’em up is certainly…
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….
I am a die-hard fan of dystopian tales in the vein of 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. That’s why I desperately want to like Anomie, a visual novel that takes some of the tropes that make this dark genre engaging and interesting. Unfortunately,…
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’m a fan of adventurey type games that take something else that I love and wrap it into a gaming genre that I love. In the case of The Captain, its tagline of “This is not just a regular point-and-click adventure game” made me want…
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…
Normally, seeing Myst mentioned as an inspiration to a game quickly turns me into a grumbling old man reminiscing of the past. Naturally, my memories are likely to be skewed and largely mislead by now, mostly tinted by a nostalgic shade of a time when I…
Talented game developer Donald Macdonald, creator of walking simulator Niten, recently reached out to inform me of the launch of a fellow developer’s campaign. Donald’s friend is one of the five members behind Wolves of Ragnarok Studio, a team that is currently working on a…
Energy Hook, a grappling and parkour game developed by the creator of the Spiderman 2 game, Jamie Fristrom, is near the end of its development. The gameplay is based on a surprisingly good swinging mechanic that Fristrom developed. With Early Access to the game already available,…
There is something to say about a child’s imagination and the whimsical adventures that they go on before being hindered by the “real world” of adulthood. Not yet constrained by physics and such anything can become real for them, no matter what they can think…
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,…
