Kickstarter Shout-outs!: Cam's Eye View's Kickstarter Editorials.

(If you like what you see, go to camseyeview.biz to see my other work. If you want to, consider supporting my Patreon at patreon.com/camseyeview) With the Indiegogo campaign Them’s Fightin Herds getting funded, it made me realize that, like I said in my last Kickstarter Shout-out, that Indiegogo is not really that good with having quality video game projects. Not only do they clump in board games, but many of the projects are just mediocre. There is an obvious issue with quality control, and I feel like a lot of indie developers would do better by going to Kickstarter instead, or try out that new crowd-funding platform, Fig. The reason I say this is because of one of the best Indiegogo campaigns going on right now, Indivisible . It’s being developed by the same team that made the indie fighter hit, Skullgirls . Unfortunately, either due to bad timing or a combination of things, the slow pace that it’s getting funded is raising some concerns. Then again, this is Kickstarter Shout-out,...

(For part 1, go to this link! ) Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan This Kickstarter comes from a developer all the way from Cameroon, Africa. This is a beat ‘em up that has heavy influences from African folklore and mythology. You are put in the shoes of either Enzo Kori-Odan or his wife Erine Evou as they fight to reclaim their throne of Planet Auriona from the hands of Erine’s brother. Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a beat ‘em up with fast-paced combat, lovely 2D animation, and proclaims to have an immersive story.  The main gimmick of the beat ‘em up action is, like I mentioned, for it to be fast-paced, and for the player to be able to combine these elements known as Aurions to unlock more devastating combos. One of the best elements that this Kickstarter has is the hand-drawn graphics. They are beautiful and fluid. I like that this developer is taking a risk on a graphical style that requires a lot of hard work to make it look good. I’m glad they didn’t go the route of pixels or...

Well, Kickstarter put up a slew of great Kickstarters, including the fully funded and promising Battle Chasers: Nightwar game. I decided to do a special two-part Kickstarter Shout-out covering the newest and most promising projects up on the site. Let’s get started because this two-part article is huge! Oh, and Allison Road will not be on this list. Not because it isn’t a great Kickstarter or a promising game, but I want to get an interview with the developers about the game. Plus, you should already back it if you love horror games! For the King Developed by Iron Oak Games, this game is gameplay oriented. you have a group of three heroes as you send them on a quest on a hex-based world to destroy the evil that has taken over the land after the king has died. Yeah, not a whole lot of plot there. For the King is an interesting, turn-based RPG with some roguelike elements thrown in for good measure. You can control each of your three characters, a wizard, archer, and blacksmith indivi...
