[BLOG] Kickstarter Gaming Round-Up: March 6th

Post by PredictedCyborg »

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Welcome to your weekly look into the gaming side of Kickstarter campaigns.



Starting with our catch-up, and the good news we have one campaign that has finished successful, a few that are winding up having met their goal and one big piece of news - the Elite: Dangerous Role Playing Game campaign is live again! A post dated March 3rd thanks everyone for their support over the last few weeks, but has little more detail. Either way, it seems the intellectual dispute has been resolved and with all its previously raised funds still in place - it's going to finish successful.



The campaign that has finished this week that were successful is Sunless Skies, to no great surprise. As noted before this is a game that is sequel to a successful previous game from Failbetter, Sunless Seas and we can probably expect more of the same just higher up in the Sunken London alternate history. A bunch of campaigns are on the edge of finishing too having reached their goals. These are Banner Saga 3 (again, a sequel to successful previous games), RUiN, Die For Valhalla and UNAUTHORIZED.



However, there are also a lot of previously covered campaigns that are also getting close to finishing but have a ways still to go to reach their goals. The time left varies between 32 hours to eleven days, but all are in danger of not finishing a success. These campaigns are Aegis: Innocence (with 32 hours only), Xenosis: Alien Infection (previously called Xenomorph which is how I listed it last week), Daymare: 1998, SmuggleCraft, FictionSphere and Deep Forest. One campaign has also finished without raising its total, Pillow Zombies TD.







Village Attacks

First up we have a board game about creatures of lore defending their homes against villagers.



Village Attacks is a game for 1-5 players and sets you in the role of folklore creatures who have to defend their homes against the villagers coming up from the village to attack them. The castle in question is where all manner of evil things live and spawn, threatening the world and now the villagers aim to destroy that which lets evil prosper. The game is a co-operative one and while the villagers alone are weak, the heroes and other travelling 'good' aligned who have joined them are not. Work together and win if you can, for if the village reaches the heart of the castle before you kill enough to break their morale - you lose.



Village Attacks has a £72,000 target and has smashed through it. It has 26 more days to run though, so if you fancy backing it go check it out.











Forged of Blood

Next up we have a turn-based RPG based in a "morally grey world". Sounds interesting.



Forged of Blood is a tactical, turn-based RPG game in which you are fighting to reclaim your lost throne and a kingdom. Your choices will apparently not have a definite 'good' or 'bad' answer or decision, and you must choose. The game is a 3D isometric game, and your positioning around opponents and the battlefield will have an effect on how well you do in battle. There will also be choices in how to build your characters' skills as you progress through the game.



Forged of Blood has 59 days to go and has made S$ 3,950 of its S$ 150,000 goal so far.











Organism8

Next is a metroidvania with a light dusting of survival to it.



Organism8 is a science-fiction game, where you play as galactic PMC corporal Yulanna Carter on a mission to investigate a solar system that has halted in space time. The game is a singleplayer experience and like many metroidvanias will be a hard game, so if you enjoy a challenge this might be the game for you. Wildlife in the game will act on urges such as a need to eat, drink and keep warm, and some of that is also essential to keep an eye on for Carter too - for example she needs to keep warm.



Organism8 has made CA$ 75.00 and has a further 58 days to make its CA$ 15,000 goal.











Narita Boy

Lastly we have a game set in what the campaign page calls a "retro futuristic world".



Narita Boy sets you as a digital hero, journeying through many different dimensions in your quest to save the Digital Kingdom. Your quest is a search quest, as you must find the techno sword which is said to be the only counter to the threat currently at the Kingdom. Taking inspiration from retro and retro-themed games such as Castlevania, Another World, Double Dragon, Superbrothers, Sword and Sorcery as well as paying homage to the 80s with a retro synth touch.



Narita Boy has a €120,000 goal and 20 days to go. It has made €74,406 so far.



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