14 Games That Crushed It on Kickstarter
Added: 15.05.2015 19:09 | 13 views | 0 comments
1. Broken Age
Developed as Double Fine Adventure, Broken Age helped put Kickstarter on the map in 2012. The point-and-click adventure game brought in a ridiculous 87,000 backers and surpassed the original $400,000 goal by more than $3 million. Fans were treated to a documentary that accompanied the two-act game. 2. FTL: Faster Than Light
FTL: Faster Than Light was developed by two former 2K Games employees who needed just $10,000 to finish the real-time strategy adventure. Faster Than Light lets you command a space ship like you've always wanted to. But watch out, FTL is extremely difficult! 3. Kentucky Route Zero
Kentucky Route Zero is an episodic game in the same vein as TellTale's Game of Thrones and Walking Dead installments. Developed as a five-act game, Kentucky Route Zero follows Conway, a truck driver in Kentucky, and the people he meets along the way on this creepy adventure. The Game Developer Choice Awards named the third episode the best narrative in 2015. 4. Elite: Dangerous
The fourth installment in the Elite video game series was brought to Kickstarter in 2012 for crowdfunding. The space adventure was the first in the series to introduce massive multiplayer gameplay. 5. Homestuck Adventure Game
The Homestuck Adventure Game started as a lengthy webcomic about a gaggle of teenagers who unknowingly start the apocalypse. The campaign to transition to a video game went rather well. Homestuck became the fifth Kickstarter game to rake in more than seven figures after raising nearly $2.5 million. 6. Pillars of Eternity
Created as a spiritual sequel to Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment, Pillars of Eternity surpassed its goal of $1.1 million in a little more than a day. Released in 2015, Pillars of Eternity has been showered with great reviews. 7. Divinity: Original Sin
The prequel to the 2002 game Divine Divinity, Larian Studios took to Kickstarter to get Divinity: Original Sin to the masses. The RPG earned stellar reviews and even comes with an editor that allows players to create different adventures and publish them online. 8. The Banner Saga
You'd be crazy not to want to play as a viking in The Banner Saga RPG, created by former Bioware developers. Originally conceived as a trilogy, The Banner Saga reached its goal on Kickstarter in a day. The combat system takes inspiration from the turn-based Final Fantasy games. 9. Defense Grid 2
Defense Grid 2 is the highly-anticipated follow-up to Defense Grid: Awakening. DG2 builds on the previous installment with new game modes, online PvP and a single-player mode with 21 interactive maps. 10. Wasteland 2
Released 16 years after its predecessor, Wasteland 2 was a sight for sore eyes when the project was officially launched on Kickstarter. The post-apocalyptic RPG game won PCWorld's Game of the Year in 2014. 11. Shadowrun Returns
With an original goal of $400,000, Shadowrun Returns raised nearly $2 million during its Kickstarter campaign. The RPG offers turn-based combat with a linear storyline. 12. Shovel Knight
Borrowing from popular 8-bit games, Shovel Knight is a scrolling 2D game that unsurprisingly features a knight who uses a shovel to attack or dig for treasure. The first release by Yacht Club Games has been praised by critics since its release. 13. Don't Starve
Don't Starve lets players control a scientist named Wilson who must survive the odds while staying sane and, obviously, fed. Don't Starve uses aesthetic elements from Tim Burton movies to make it even more creepy! 14. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare was inspired by Age of Chivalry, but improves on the gameplay by using the Unreal Engine. This game is good gory fun for the medieval warrior inside of you.

"The HomeRow crew discuss the wild success of Kickstarters Yooka Laylee and Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night and ponder if Kickstarter can have a renaissance of confidence in the games sector, as almost everyone we know has been burned by crowdfunding at least once. Also on the agenda is a bit more on Konami, Kojima, Silent Hills and that whole...thing. We wonder if people inside Konami are as frustrated as the rest of us, and if Konami is preparing to just slowly retreat into the bushes, away from video game sector. We also find out that Star Wars Battlefront will actually have more than 8 maps, showing signs of having 12 available at launch, a much more palatable number for shooter fans. The gang also chats about the spread of games they've been playing lately and Joe wants so badly to talk about the big preview event he attended but can't until the June 10 show."

Our cover story this month is Call Of Duty: Black Ops III – we’ve played it on PS4 and dedicated ten hefty pages to our impressions; going deeper than anyone else into what makes the latest COD tick as we provide a hi-tech guide to those new bio-augmentations. We also have a full rundown on COD’s entire PlayStation history, going all the way back to Finest Hour on PS2. And if that wasn’t enough, we wrap things up by interviewing Treyarch’s always-engaging studio head, Mark Lamia.
In our other megaton feature this month, you’ll find 12 incredibly hot pages of Star Wars Battlefront. It’s one of the most gorgeous pieces to have featured in the mag for quite some time, as we travel to the Star Wars Celebration and go big on DICE’s upcoming far, far away online blaster. Let us bring you up to speed (-er bike) on iconic Endor scraps and more.
Just before it went on to smash its Kickstarter targets by raising £1m in 24 hours, we caught up with Playtonic Games for chat about its ambitious 3D platformer, Yookla-Laylee. With exclusive screens and info, we take you into a colourful world of magical books and misbehaving bats in a game that looks to capture the magic of Rare’s golden age of platformers.
This has to be one of the coolest free gifts we’ve ever given away with Official PlayStation Magazine. Pick up the paper version of the new issue and you’ll get an awesome Metal Gear Solid V decal – with a selection of different faceplate options – to cover your PS4 in sneaky glory. Sony’s ridged baby may be a looker on its own, but plastering Venom Snake onto your killer console gives it added stealthy sheen.
