As Serena admitted to not liking miniature battle games last week, I too must admit tabletop gaming isn’t exactly up my alley. But I think it’s safe to say we can both put that aside if the game itself is good enough. Such is the…
Moira is a 2D platformer that combines Mario, specifically Super Mario Bros. 3, and Mega Man at its prime. Need I say more? Yes, because that isn’t enough information for anyone to go on as to what this game is. The developers are calling this…
A crowdfunded MMORPG is a bit like a unicorn. Everyone has heard of one, but nobody really expects to see one in the wild. With a new update, The Phoenix Project – City of Titans, might just be on its way towards earning its horn….
Bullet dodging? Check. Pixelated blood? Check. Classic 90s VHS static? Check. Oh, let’s also add Devolver Digital to the list, since Strafe developers Pixel Titans have announced their collaboration with the benevolent indie purveyor a few days ago. (Seriously, these guys are getting busier each day.) It would certainly be…
The Coleco Chameleon was advertised as a new video game console that would play cartridge-based games (both new homebrew releases and existing retro products). Devised in large part by Mike Kennedy, the name behind both RETRO Magazine and GameGavel.com, it seemed like a project poised…
Sealark is an old-school adventure game inspired by such classics as Earthbound, Cave Story, and Harvest Moon. It has a colorful 2D pixel art style backed up by an interesting premise. The world has been overtaken by waves, and our protagonist is the last human,…
Robotic real-time strategy game Dysis was funded back in November 2012. The trailer and promise of a working prototype in time for Christmas must have made it seem like a safe bet for the 1,167 backers who funded the project. So much so that the…
Did you notice that we at Cliqist finally went forward with a plan that has been in the works for a long while now? After much consideration, we finally shared a massive Excel spreadsheet of Kickstarter video game data which is free for anybody and…
On this week’s Crowdfunding Analysis Time (still a great name), we take a look at Lab Zero’s latest crowdfunded game Indivisible. Lab Zero has gone through a lot since their first game Skullgirls released in 2012. Since then, they’ve been dropped by publisher Konami, sought…
Studio MONO has been hard at work polishing up their dieselpunk RPG InSomnia, but it looks like they are going to need some help to make the final push. Having already used their original $92,268 in funding, they are hoping their new combat video will…
Last month, iqSoup released a battle demo for their cowboy steampunk game Age of Grit. Yes, that is indeed the greatest sentenced every written. I played it the other day for another video, and I came away impressed, once I figured out which side of…
Nevermind is perhaps one of the most interesting horror games of 2015, at least in terms of how it intertwines technology and gameplay. Released last September, its shtick was integrating a heartbeat sensor in-game – a peculiar idea that actually worked quite well in dynamically adjusting…
When Fig launched, the founders had a fairly specific plan in mind. They felt that the biggest problems with Kickstarter and Indiegogo were a lack of curation and too much competition, so they ensured Fig would only focus on one game (backed by their entire board)…
Despite controversies surrounding AJ Tilley and his projects, as well as issues with the original writer, I honestly didn’t think that Beach Bounce would ever be completed. In this case, though, I’m glad that I was proven wrong. With the “remastered” edition finally wrapping up…
Ever since I was young one of the many games that I would spend countless hours playing on my old Atari ST was a first person dungeon crawler called, appropriately, Dungeon Master. I still have fond memories of this title to this day and whenever…
Metroidvania’s have been ever popular since their inception, and they’ve found a nice niche for themselves in the indie world of Kickstarter. Stray looks to join those ranks, a 2D space platformer/explore them up starring a little orange cat. Stray is exactly what you’d expect…
