Add another Kickstarter campaign to the list of projects that looked interesting until I played the demo. Little Legacy‘s campaign is chock full of ideas and mechanics that sound really fun, but aren’t actually present in the current build. This leaves the player with a vast world…
Some people just want to watch the world burn, others want to build a town and explore a beautifully handcrafted world. There is no in-between. Fortunately, Lithic Entertainment’s new Kickstarter project, Dwarrows caters exclusively to the latter. At least, it will if they are able…
There’s a good chance you’ve heard of the figurine and collectable company Sideshow, even if you’re unfamiliar with the name. Since 1994 they’ve been creating memorabilia for several popular franchises, including The Walking Dead and Star Wars. The gruesome Court of the Dead is the first…
I normally don’t like playing isometric arcade-y type games. It doesn’t mean I won’t, though. These days I need to have something unique to at least capture my attention. Antraxx is certainly an interesting concept, and one I might look further into. It’s an online mech…
Visual novels are traditionally seen as a Japanese specialty, but Moscow-based indie developer SovietGames are hoping to change that. With Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll, they’re bringing a Russian twist to the ever-popular genre. To top things off, a 1980s setting, rock soundtrack and a playable demo almost…
Adventure games have come a long way since the 90’s. With the advent of new technology, many now feature 3D graphics, full voice acting, and other gimmicks. But there’s just something about the old school style that today’s games just don’t match. That’s why The…
After an extended break, Kicked! is back on Cliqist, this time with Divinity: Original Sin. Watch as I find all new ways of angering a fan base, and completely butcher the name of one of the games I talk about. Strap yourselves in, its going…
When your quaint seaside town has been besieged by imps there is only one clear solution: enchanted facial hair. At least, that’s what the team at Glovebox Games would have us believe. They are hoping to fund their game, Beard Blade on Kickstarter for $95,000….
When it comes to adventure games, I generally want to know a bit about the story before becoming enamored with it. However, sometimes just the visuals alone has me wanting to know more. Coming to Kickstarter October 3, Nairi is a cute point and click game…
The experienced Japanese developers behind indie studio Project Milk have some ambitious hopes for Tiny Metal. They’re focused on resurrecting the turn-based strategy genre and in particular emulating the success of Nintendo’s classic Advance Wars series. After a slow start, their Kickstarter campaign now seems to be…
While scrolling through the ever-growing list of games on Kickstarter, I found one in particular that caught my eye. Inspired by Megaman Battle Network, Hearthstone and Street Fighter, Tri Wing is a game being developed for PC and mobile. Vincent Veak is the one man…
My biggest complaint about Hyper Light Drifter was its 30FPS lock. Mostly because of the the game’s heavy reliance on split-second reactions, such a technical restriction seemed weird even after playing through the game and enjoying it immensely. Luckily, a new Steam update just introduced 60FPS for the Windows release,…
Ocean of The Lost is a multiplayer naval combat game now on Kickstarter, set in the Caribbean. Currently offered in its early form, dubbed the “battle version”, it hopes to develop further into an MMO. Aside from team-based combat, the final version of Ocean of the Lost will…
I’d be surprised if you’ve heard anything about BrightLocker in the past few months. Ever since I covered the up and coming crowdfunding platform last November, there hasn’t exactly been a ton of press coverage and information surrounding the website. Interaction on its social platforms isn’t common,…
A game called Guts and Glory arrived on Kickstarter last week. No, I’m not talking about that mobile swiping game with the muscular gladiators wielding gigantic weaponry. Instead, think of it more as a 3D Happy Wheels, where you navigate open environments in race-like scenarios involving…
While most tactical strategy games focus on the solo experience, Dungeon of Zaar hopes to stand out by emphasizing multiplayer. Specifically, by engaging players in strategic PvP battles as they progress through the dungeon of the Archmage, Zaar. The turn-based combat is meant to be…
