Since I started writing for Cliqist, I have to say that my favourite demos to play have been platformers. They don’t take much time or effort to learn but mastering them is a whole other can of worms. The best platformer demos I’ve had the…
Chronicles of Elyria, the #1 hyped RPG on MMORPG.com, has launched its Kickstarter campaign, and it has already funded nearly $400,000 of the $900,000 it’s asking for. This early surge brings back memories of Divinity: Original Sin 2’s campaign, which quickly surpassed its $500,000 in the…
With the wealth of platformers out in the market today, developers have to make their own project stand out from the crowd with a unique look and innovative gameplay. The art style has to be eye-catching; if it isn’t, potential backers will back away without…
As an avid adventure afficianado, when I saw Hero-U launch on Kickstarter I didn’t hesitate to back it. After all, it was the return of two more Sierra alums to crowdfunding. With that said, nearly four years later the most we’ve seen are some screenshots…
FarSight Studios, creator of the immensely successful, critically acclaimed Pinball Arcade, are back on Kickstarter, this time asking for $108,435 to help bring the AC/DC pinball table to mobile, consoles, and VR. Pinball Arcade, dubbed “Rolling Thunder” on IGN, is without a doubt the most…
When it comes to adventure games I sit up and listen. And when Bill Tiller, of LucasArts fame, and company turned to Kickstarter to get a comedy pirate themed adventure game funded I immediately had to back it. Because of the names behind it, obviously. Plus,…
With the glut of pixel-centric, retro-inspired games that have been released/announced in the last 4-5 years, it’s nice to see something that hearkens back to a bygone era, but expands on the formula in a way that doesn’t cause eyestrain. So imagine my surprise when…
Video games have the power to make you laugh. To make you cry. To make you think. To make you feel. For many individuals, it also gives them the freedom to explore places they’ve never been, to be people they’ve never been able to be,…
Noct, the multiplayer survival horror game by C3SK, is about to go through a lot of changes. In light of some bad reviews slamming the early access game the developer has decided to put the game in a sort of second alpha phase. They will…
Fear effect Sedna’s first gameplay video has just been released, as well as a Kickstarter update stating that the game will also be ported to Xbox One and PS4. Seeing that the original Fear Effect games were released on Playstation back in the early 2000s,…
The three developers behind Kôna, a classic survival adventure game, have delayed the game’s release yet again to Q3 2016 (roughly August/September). The game’s launch has already undergone several pushbacks—the last we covered Kôna on Cliqist the developers were “ambitiously” increasing the project in scope…
Joseph Fidler has a problem. He’s an aspiring game developer, but the laptop that he’s been using to make his game met it’s unfortunate demise with a little help from his dog and some Mountain Dew. For some reason Fidler decided this would be a golden…
I’ve covered LUNA: The Shadow Dust since the inception of its Kickstarter campaign, and I’m happy to report that the campaign has wrapped up and they’ve raised a more than they asked for. My first article on LUNA predicted that the campaign would reach its…
It’s always a sad day when you get the news that something that you’ve spent countless hours with is being shut down. And in the case of Pinkerton Road’s forums this is indeed a somber occasion not just for me but for so many other…
Spellbook has been hard at work on their MMORPG Heroes of Dire for the last couple of months, and are now asking for funding through Kickstarter—$20,000 to be precise—to bring their heroes to the fore. Although I’m a fan of the art style—which brings back…
Everything about Ren Hu: Rebel Yell, from the “bitstream” art style to the cheesy guitar music, screams throwback. “Throwback” games certainly aren’t for everyone, but who doesn’t love a great beat em’ up? Ren Hu, developed by Lethal Games, is a “hardcore strategic” brawler featuring…
