One of the most frequently asked questions that backers have in regards to Kickstarter is just how “add-ons” work. Now, while this is hardly a recent phenomenon in crowdfunding, it is also one of the most confusing aspects of reward fulfillment. It’s gone by different…
I’m pretty much obsessed with dystopian tales, no matter the medium or genre. There’s something about taking a dark and oppressive atmosphere and having some person or group of persons “raging against the machine”. Which is why I want to love Anomie, but there’s something…
It has come to my attention that the Cyberpunk visual novel Echo Tokyo will be returning to Kickstarter yet again soon. I’ve honestly lost track of exactly how many campaigns there have been for this particular title, but I know that this will be at…
Disobey, developed by Tunnel Vision Studio, blends RTS and third-person action elements to create one helluva goofy “Revolt Simulator.” Its stumpy characters look similar to those in South Park. The explosive riots take on a miniature Total Warhammer vibe, while the “revolt” premise can be…
Roughly a month since its last update, Ynnis Interactive has shared some exciting screenshots of their upcoming game, Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom. This may come as bittersweet news to backers, who may have expected the game to be released more than a year ago as…
With a bold, cartoony vibe and parkour gameplay inspired by the original Mirror’s Edge, Hover: Revolt of Gamers won over the gaming community in May 2014. As such, it raised a whopping $116,398 through Kickstarter. Although it draws upon the free-running and vaulting concept of…
Usually, I’m a little skeptical when I see the phrase ‘Triple-A Indie Game’ but Ilios: Betrayal of the gods certainly fits the bill. It is a very interesting Kickstarter for multiple reasons, not least it’s €90k goal. The game is inspired by the Iliad and…
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is our latest episode of CAT, and one of the harder ones to write. That’s not because HGH’s Kickstarter campaign was particularly bad, or particularly brilliant either. There’s just not much to say about the campaign, good or bad. I only chose…
Vigor Roads is a MMO that blends furious gunplay with monstrous armored vehicles to create a jam-packed, “dynamic” action and racing game. Developed by NeuronHaze, it’s currently seeking $25,000 and has raised roughly $7,000, with well over three weeks left to go. The combination of…
Night Dive Studios had previously revealed they were working on System Shock Remastered, a remake of the iconic PC game. Now they’ve also disclosed the project will be coming to Kickstarter – and given 29th June 2016 as the launch date for the campaign. Since…
Sometimes even the best looking projects have their dark side. Some more than others. Either Kickstarter will suspend a campaign or the creators do it themselves, for whatever reason. Which is a shame as otherwise these games show so much promise. Too many Kickstarter campaigns…
Nothing beats preparing for a full-on Kickstarter assault through meticulous planning. With the recent blessing of the Square Enix Collective and being Greenlit on Steam, Iron Tides is definitely on the right track to take to the high seas and raze some righteous hell in…
No joke, Purple looks like an amazing game. A world that blends alternating red and blue terrains, two matching characters that can blend into one purple one, all managed through one controller! Not everyone can cook up this type of awesome innovation on a whim,…
I’m a sucker for old school turn-based RPGs in the vein of series like Final Fantasy, but even then the combat gets stale pretty quickly. Which is why I find a game with some unique mechanics much more refreshing. In the case of Nadia Was…
Many RPGs pride themselves on an in-depth character creation system; whether it be molding your best cartoony self in Saints Row or adjusting every last facial detail in Dragon Age Inquisition. There’s something for every gaming enthusiast out there. Soulbound Studios’s upcoming MMORPG Chronicles of…
Fig, the investment-driven crowdfunding platform we’ve talked about plenty in the past, is known to be supported by a pretty hefty amount of big industry names. Although it remains to be seen whether it’ll be successful in terms of its games’ post-launch realization, it looks like…
