Kickstarter Tuesday

A really nice selection of games this week, with different genres, ambitions and funding goals.  Here's this weeks run down of the Top 5 Kickstarter games.

1. Little Devil Inside by Neostream
Little devil inside is a story about a college professor who investigates paranormal activities. With you!




Funding Goal - $250,000 (Australian) by Monday 25th May

Opinion - I love the graphics style, the atmosphere and the premise.  Check out the trailer above for a full appreciation of it.  I think this is one I'm going to be backing.



2. Outward by Nine Dots Canada
An open world RPG with co-op and survival elements. To be released on PC and consoles.



Funding Goal - $150,000 (Canadian) by Sunday 10th May

Opinion - Who doesn't like an open world RPG? Outward also has a significant survival aspect which I think will add a lot of immersion to the game, as long as it doesn't make it tedious (like some survival games do). There is also a co-op element which is a massive plus.  This is a game definitely worth keeping an eye and to consider backing.

3. DreamCage 28 by Big Loop Studios
When It was sleeping everything was paradise. Now that It is gone, what happens to its dreams? Game for PC/MAC, Android and iOS.





Funding Goal - $10,000 by Tuesday 12th May

Opinion - The (kind of) sequel to the fun short game Escape from 26.  Like its predecessor, it is set in a unique world (this time inside a birdcage!), as well as an ambience that hooks you in to the world.  If you enjoy adventure/point-and-click games, this is worth checking out.



4. Solar Crusaders by Puremana Studios
Solar Crusaders is a multiplayer strategy game featuring an open world sandbox, real-time battles, and simulated game economy.





Funding Goal - $30,000 by Friday 8th May

Opinion - An interesting 4x space game that has everything you would expect from 4x titles, but with what looks like a little bit more.  This includes a simulated economy, an impressive and dynamic AI, as well as (most importantly) the game being multiplayer.  If they get this right, this could be a cult hit.



5. Wildfire by Sneaky Bastards
Manipulate fire to terrify enemies and slip through their grasp in this stealth platformer where everything burns!



Funding Goal - $10,000 (Australian) by Wednesday 13th May

Opinion - A 2d pixel adventure where you use the environment (mainly fire) to defeat your enemies.  Gameplay looks interesting, enemies diverse and a good story to back it up.  For something a bit more casual than the others in this week's Top 5, it is worth a look.
