    Kickstarter Picks: Micromon

    By

    Thanks to the touch screen interface, RPG titles have proven to be a perfect fit for iOS devices. However, thanks to Nintendo's strict stance against participating in the App store craze, one of the most popular RPG subgenres has been left largely ignored: monster capture titles. MOGA's Micromon aims to change that.

    Kickstarter Picks: Nekro

    By

    Taking up holy swords and summoning angel warriors using the names of the true gods is all right for beating back the forces of evil, but sometimes you just need to summon a troll to do your dirty work. Nekro is an action game that lets you recruit the forces of darkness to help you Get Stuff Done, and its randomly-generated levels ensure that you won't have the same corpse-dragging experience twice.

    The inspirations behind The Banner Saga [interview]

    By

    The Banner Saga is an upcoming turn-based strategy game for PC and Mac, but its existence symbolizes much more than that. When the studio behind the title, Stoic, initiated a Kickstarter for The Banner Saga, it had initially hoped to raise the $100,000 necessary for the game's development and distribution. The Banner Saga has since been funded nearly five times over, with almost $473,000 pledged via Stoic's Kickstarter.

    Kickstarter Picks: Republique

    Big Brother is Watching You. But in a unique game that's being proposed by developer Alexei Tylevich and two game studios, Camouflaj and Logan, Big Brother may actually end up being your best friend and your savior. That's the general idea behind Republique, a "symbiotic" stealth-puzzle iOS game that puts you in charge of a young woman who's desperate to sneak out of a mysterious, totalitarian state.

    Kickstarter Picks: Super Fun Time

    By

    Are you familiar with microgame collections? A microgame is a bit like a basic action/arcade experience, except the developer force-feeds it a lot of sugar, jams the pacing up to 400 RPMs, and breaks off the gearshift. A microgame collection corrals several dozen of these tiny games into one package, and then wraps them around a basic concept that lets you experience said games for a few frantic seconds at a time. Microgames found a lot of success on Nintendo's systems thanks to the WarioWare titles, but they've never found much of an audience on iOS or Android. Spiffy Games hopes to change that with its Super Fun Time Kickstarter.

    Kickstarter Picks: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded

    By

    If you owned a computer in the '80s or '90s, then you probably bought Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. Wait, correction: it's more likely you actually pirated Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. It's okay. No one's judging you, least of all Al Lowe. In fact, Larry Laffer's legitimate daddy wants to give you another chance to help Larry score true love.

    Jane Jensen is coming back to adventure games [interview]

    By

    There are only a handful of game designers who can really be called a master of their trade, but as the mind behind the classic Gabriel Knight graphic adventures in the 90's, Jane Jensen is unquestionably amongst them. Over the last decade she's spent a fair bit of time creating hidden object games with Oberon Media, a company she co-founded, but as of this morning Jensen has announced a plan to return to her roots.

    Kickstarter Picks: Shadowrun Returns

    By

    One of the coolest things about Kickstarter is that it's granted new life and second chances to game franchises that were seemingly dead in the water. The latest '90s-era video game series to rise up for a gasp of air is Shadowrun. Though Shadowrun is still a popular tabletop RPG campaign, it's been a while since we've seen the series take on a digital form. With any luck, that will change with help of the Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter.
