Artist Sarumaru’s mixed-media story project Henshin Engine is moving from static comic pages to a full 2D action platformer. Henshin Engine: The Game is planned to release in March of 2017 for the PC-Engine/Turbo Grafx-16 console and PC CD-ROM/Steam. Developed with classic gaming hardware, it promises a…
Kickstarters that end up raising less than $1,000 don’t exactly have the best track record. Judging by our awesome, handy-dandy Kickstarter data, a significant number of those tend to disappear into the unknown a few months after getting funded. Despite that, there’s a game called Vex which recently managed to…
You remember the Ouya, don’t you? Of course you do. It caused quite a commotion just a few years ago. Following the success of Ouya, it was only a matter of time before some copycat came along and tried to follow in its drunken footsteps….
I enjoy a good online game, but I’ll admit that I’ve never been into MOBA gaming. That said, I do find Tuebor to be an interesting take on the genre. Blending elements of MMOs, RPGs, and the aforementioned MOBAs this one looks to be a unique…
It’s not unheard of to see game developers start out with one engine and decide to move to a different one. It’s actually pretty common with crowdfunded games. Dreadlocks has recently announced to backers that their paranormal adventure Ghost Theory is being moved from Unity to…
There are bad pitches, there are lazy pitches, and there are pitches that you have to stay away from. I can forgive some transgressions, but when a project like King’s Gate comes along it throws up so many red flags it needs to be talked…
I’ll be one of the first to admit that I like a little bit of “toilet humor” in my games. It was one of the things that attracted me to the comedy of point and click adventure Demetrios. I will also admit I found the fart…
Anyone still lamenting the loss of PlayStation Home will be pleased to hear that there’s a new virtual hangout in town. Starting September 23rd the early access of Atom Universe will be available on PS4 in North and South America. This follows right on the heels…
In the interest of honesty, I should preface by saying that RTS is probably my least-favourite genre in all of gaming. The sensation of spinning plates they cause sends me straight back to a dark place in my memory reserved for my years in food…
When it comes to adventure games, I prefer to play them on a PC. However, I’m also not the type to bash console users, either. Frankly, this genre could use all the exposure it can get. SkyGoblin just announced in an update that the entire…
It’s good to see 3D platformers suddenly taking off on Kickstarter. Alongside Griff: The Winged Lion, we now have Kewpie-Jazzy competing for your hard earned cash. I’m not going to say my article on crowdfunded 3D platformers brought about this influx, but feel free to…
A common mistake made by Kickstarter creators is to set too high a funding goal. Not so with Unhappy Ever After, the character-driven RPG from developer Warped Tales. They’ve actually gone to the other extreme with an oddly low goal of only £200 ($260). So…
I’ll admit it. I’m a “brony”. Well, technically I’m a “pegasister”, but I do enjoy the My Little Pony franchise. Because of this love, I decided to take a close look at Sulphur Nimbus: Hel’s Elixir. This is a flight based game featuring a hippogriff as…
What can I say, I’m a bit of a sucker for female Sci-Fi protagonists that can kick ass. Enter Third Gate Studios with their Kickstarter campaign for SOS Atlas. Seeking $10,000, the developers hope to bring their fantasy adventure game to PC next year. SOS…
The changes made by Steam to their score system on September 12th may seem fairly minor, but there are some potentially major ramifications for crowdfunded games. User scores on Steam will no longer include reviews linked to key-activated games. Which, of course, is how almost all…
We’ve probably all heard of steampunk and cyberpunk, but now the turn-based tactical RPG Z’Isle aims to make “cyclepunk” a part of our lexicon. Set in the zombie-infested stress of Montreal, it aims to bring a new spin on undead slaying in the form of party-based combat…
