Amazing Kickstarter project which have been released so far.

[Mamoulian War]

Because I have missed few nice KS projects when this big boom started, I think it would be good idea to have one dedicated thread where everyone would post game he has funded and thinks that everyone should buy after it got released!

 

Please post only titles which are already available for all public, not only to backers.

 

Thank you!

 

EDIT: And please give us link where we can read some more things about your game of choice and probably buy it

I've heard good things about FTL, but haven't played it myself.

[Hurlshort]

FTL is awesome, I've sunk a lot of hours into that little game.  That is the only one I know of that was a KS game.

[Nordicus]

The Giana Sisters had a part of its budget ($150k) supported by Kickstarter

 

Though I guess that doesn't really make it a "Kickstarter game"

[AwesomeOcelot]

FTL, I didn't back it but bought it afterwards, pretty much a must buy for the price.

 

Chivalry, I haven't got around to playing but it's a highly successful KickStarter funded game. From the gameplay videos they nailed medieval melee multiplayer, it's amazing what they achieved with little money and time.

 

Gianna Sisters: Twisted Dream I backed, it's a great game if you like 2D platformers, one of the best, if you don't then it's probably not the best entry point.

 

All available on Steam, FTL and Gianna I believe also on GoG. Is that really all there is so far? I don't know of any others, so I'm going to have to watch this thread.

[Humanoid]

Technically not qualified for the title for a couple of reasons, that of not really a game as much as a children's interactive e-book, and that of being mostly funded before the CSG campaign anyway, but the first product from Jane Jensen's studio has been released - Lola and Lucy's Big Adventure. I only really mention it because it's the first, and so far only actual product I've received out of the $1k+ I have sunk into various projects.

[Serrano]

Whoops. "Games which have already been released", sorry.

This is a thread asking for released games that were made/funded in some way via Kickstarter.

Edit: nvm, need more beautysleep, maybe then I will have less comprehension problems and grammar errors in the Thread titles

Star Command is out for iOS but not yet for Android or PC

[Drowsy Emperor]

I recommend FTL overall although there are some parts of it I don't like. There are too many combat encounters (in fact almost all encounters are combat encounters) and a difficulty curve that's actually a sheer cliff. What this means is that the game is rather similar on subsequent replays, the only different thing being the ship you use and a slight shift in tactics (of which only a few are really optimal in combat).

 

It would have been much better if the writing was more colorful and if it included some humorous encounters - to break up the monotony of combat. It lacks personality which would have been easy to add with a few low cost touches like portraits for the crew or an image here and there.

 

7/10

 

 

Good idea opening this thread MW

Expeditions: Conquistador is coming out tomorrow

 

... I guess that makes it the first of the Kickstarter RPGs (that I know of)

Resonance. Very good well done adventure game. I was not aware this was a Kickstarter game until a few months ago. Sad I missed it, because it is really good. Looking forward to his second game <3

[Drowsy Emperor]

I played it. Its not bad, but Gemini Rue (from the same guys) is better.

[babaganoosh13]

I think it's xii games first big game, and Wadjet Eye is more of a publisher; or perhaps it's their engine or something else support wise is why they also get a developers credit.

 

I thought the same thing as well with Gemini Rue, and Blackwell.

I heard of Blackwell but is it really worth it? The time, not the money. I doubt it could be any cheaper than this.

YES! Yes it is worth it. The first one is pretty average because it's one of Wadjet's early titles but as the series goes on the plots and especially the banter are done so well that I'd rate them above Gemini Rue and Resonance personally. Gemini and Resonance had sprinkles of humour but Blackwell is full of it, and yet it still manages to get very serious, tense and sad when the story requires it and it does all of these well, the pacing is terrific. You'll also notice the quality of the puzzles and UI steeply increasing as Wadjet get better at making adventure games with each one they release.

Not exactly a lot of reviews out, and pretty much all from smaller outlets, but they're positive. (You can check my round-up on GameBanshee or Google them yourself.) Also, I think I read some first impressions from another forumite in another thread and those seemed positive too.

[Hassat Hunter]

Really good.

Of course I already played it from the first beta, so I'm already pretty much worn out on it for a while .

[Hurlshort]

Thanks, I went ahead and picked it up.  

[alanschu]

More feedbacks!

[babaganoosh13]

The first project has been released that I backed.

 

Pandora: Purge of Pride

 

I played it when I got home after the hockey game. I'm only on the second stage so far. Got my first ability to pull items.

 

The game looks like it could use a little bit more polish. Some of the lettering is a bit hard to read. There is no way to configure your controls, or really view them all on demand. There is a picture in a frame like a painting of the controls you need for the level, but it would have been nice to have them in the menu so I could configure Xpadder in one shot. I still found myself having to use the mouse because it seemed to interfere with my right stick. Gamepad control was a stretch goal not reached. There's a patch coming within a week or so, so I'll see what they address in it. On the plus, the jumping was forgiving, and the warp was nice in the first stage so you could avoid jumping all the way back up to the upper platform for if you fell.

 

I largely backed them to see what their next game would be like when they have a lot more time to work on it, and they don't have to please specific people to get a passing grade. I'll see how Pandora goes to see if it's worth the $10 it is now. Platform puzzlers are a genre I'm largely indifferent to. Portal was fun.

 

EDITed for slightly better grammer.
