Ever since I was young, I loved playing Sierra adventure games. The Space Quest series has always been my favorite. It should go without saying that, despite four years and change, I’m still excited for SpaceVenture. Of course, my excitement has waned recently as even…
Sometimes a Kickstarter comes around where you can’t help but cringe a little every time you get news on its development. And this is certainly the case with Super Action Squad (originally named Super Retro Squad and later changed to Operation Pyxel). The latest update…
I enjoy a good game set in a Hellish landscape. For some reason, I find myself attracted to such a nightmarish setting. The more surreal and creepy, the better. When I went to check out Agony, I knew I had to get my hands on a…
As I’m sure you know today is Thanksgiving is the US. It’s a day of for giving thanks for what we have, spending time with loved ones, and helping those less fortunate. With that said, the Cliqist team encourages you to hold on to any…
Mankind just doesn’t deserve dogs. They are the epitome of goodness and hope in the world. For proof, look no further than Psilocybe Games’ new project, Balthazar’s Dream on Kickstarter. The team behind the criminally underrated Pigsodus is back with a beautiful new pixel art,…
One of the great things about indie game development and really, crowdfunding, is that it encourages developers to break new ground and try new things. No matter how niche your idea, there is a chance to connect with an audience who will support it. Not…
Earlier this year, developers AKABEi SOFT2 and Frontwing teamed up to bring an official English localization of Sharin no Kuni to international audiences. The original Kickstarter campaign, run by Japanese pop culture website, Tokyo Otaku Mode, failed to raise its $140,000 funding goal. Now, it…
Transparency is a large part of what makes crowdfunding so exciting. It allows gamers to sneak a peek behind the scenes and see what makes their favorite indie games tick. Occasionally a game will really take off and manage to sell a million copies. It’s…
Let’s just get this out of the way right up front, Nin is a 3D adventure-platformer and it looks really cute. We’re talking stupidly adorable levels of cute. Add to that Vagabond Games’ clear and present love of parodying 90’s pop culture and it’s hard…
Despite getting excellent press coverage and basically being everything I’ve ever wanted in a paranormal investigation game, Hellhunter still hasn’t reached it’s Kickstarter goal. Fortunately, Ballistic Interactive has seen fit to sweeten the deal for backers and those still on the fence about shotgunning ghosts…

After some turbulence following the US Election, Kicked! is back with Wasteland 2. The post-apocalypse has returned after nearly 30 years thanks to Kickstarter, and this is in no way any form of commentary whatsoever. Series creator Brian Fargo brought his three decade old franchise…
Every night the world ends, but every morning Mars wakes up for his first day of school, again. Mars Underground is an apocalyptic time looping adventure currently on Kickstarter. Moloch Media is seeking $2,322 to create this mind-bending Groundhog Day-esque RPG. Each day the player…
Some names, frankly, do not instill much confidence in the end product. Seeing the Kickstarter campaign for Rusty Tiger Production’s The Golden Turd certainly didn’t lead me to believe that, yes, this was a project worth noting. Certainly not to the tune of the $49,591…
We usually like to pick a game for Game of the Week that really inspires us. Something totally unique, amazingly presented, or even something flawed, but still interesting. But sometimes no such campaign exists, and we more or less give it to a campaign that’s…
As Valve taught us many years ago, steam makes everything better. Well, almost everything. Big Way Games hopes to add sandbox survival games into that list with Steam Hammer, now on Kickstarter. Steam Hammer is a steampunk survival game set in a dreary, unforgiving world….
