[BLOG] Kickstarter Gaming Round-Up: Jan 30th

Welcome to your weekly glance into some of the cool stuff going on down in the gaming campaigns section of Kickstarters' website right now.



We start as always with a little update on important news from previously covered campaigns. There's no bad news really, some campaigns aren't doing too well but still have plenty of time to go to make up for it.



In the good news area this week UnDungeon reached and passed its goal with another 13 days still to go, so congrats to that team! LEGRAND LEGACY has made up a load of ground and is close to reaching it's target as well, as is Pixel Princess Blitz, although the latter has only 8 more days to reach their target. Hopefully both will become crowdfunded success stories in the future.







Apocalypse Now

First up we have this game based in Vietnam.



With people working on this game coming from previous projects like Fallout New Vegas, Wasteland 2 and a whole heap of RPGs, that's already a good start for this game. It will be a first-person survival and horror game with some strong RPG influences. Player decisions will affect the narrative and progression of the game. Your mission to to assassinate a man accused of forming his own personal army, but how you get there to carry out this task is up to you.



Apocalypse Now has a target goal of $900,000 and has made $114,780 so far. It has 24 days to go.











Pillow Zombies TD

Next up we have a game that combines elements of tower defence and adventure games into one.



Pillow Zombies charges you with using turrets, traps and other things in a bid to keep yourself safe from waves of advancing plush zombie monsters, yet at the same time as you progress you will discover just how these beasts came to be and just what happened to make them this way. There will also be a card buff system to allow you to power up your turrets and traps as you progress through the game.



Pillow Zombies TD has 29 more days to run, and has made CA $300 of its CA $28,000 goal so far.







Banner Saga 3

Next, we have the conclusion to Stoic's viking epic.



Banner Saga 3 is a strategy driven game, and the last in Stoic's trilogy of games. If you've not played the first two games, the campaign will also allow you to get hold of these games by adding $20 to your pledge tier - so you can catch up if need be. With around 40 unique characters each with their own styles of combat, you can pick and choose your party to help you make it through the game as you see fit. But each action has its consequences and they can be far reaching...



Banner Saga has a target of $200,000 and bypassed it just as this article was being written. Well done Stoic!











Tortuga 1667

Ending this week with the board game/physical card, and as you might be able to guess - it's pirate themed.



The game is for 4-9 players, and involves you playing as a crew of pirates who all want to take the gold from a Spanish galleon and are all secretly planning to take the gold for yourself. All 'greedy pirates' will be marooned on the isle of Tortuga. There are 9 different pirates you can play as, each based off a real-life pirate that existed in the year of 1667. Can you one-up your crew and make off with the gold, or will you be marooned on Tortuga?



Tortuga 1667 has a $10,000 goal, and at $180,000+ has far exceeded that goal.



Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
