The game sees you barricading doors, rigging explosive barrels, and deploying powerful bosses to slow him down and giving you time to escape in a unique tower-defence. Playing as the head honcho of a crime syndicate you have to throw legions of henchmen at the unstoppable vigilante that is hunting you down. On the other hand, we have Forgive Me My Henchmen, which is such a unique looking game that I had to cover it. At time of writing they only have 58 hours left on their Kickstarter and it will take me longer than that to write out everything I’m hyped for about it.
If you enjoyed Oxygen Not Included, Prison Architect, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Keeper 2 or were left feeling cold by the dismal Spacebase DF 9 then you’ll want to back this.
There is so much to love in their Kickstarter pitch and if they can deliver on all of their promises then this could be how I spend 2019. I have to actually think about my defences and can’t just throw down a ton of turrets near the one weak wall and call it a day.It’s just a pity that if Oxygen Not Included is anything to go by, I’m gonna suck at it. The idea that not only does it have the framework for strong emergent storytelling but that it also requires some logical thought when designing the station really appeals to me as it means I have to actually think about my placements. Use airlocks, vents, doors, and shielding for proper flow.” All of these components travel independently around the station. Most of these objects use a palette system that allows for a variety of color options.There’s also an atmosphere of oxygen and carbon dioxide, temperature, radiation, and noise. There are many, many objects that you can place, including: paintings, beds, couches, chairs, doors, and tables. The Kickstarter states that: “You’ll spend most of your time building, so it needs to feel rewarding. Essentially, Starmancer is Prison Architect meets Rimworld in space with a more attractive art style and if it’s able to live up to its promises then we can expect some great emergent storytelling. The game isn’t just about building a space station and gathering resources (cough cough SpaceBase DF 9), Starmancer promises a plethora of threats including invading pirates, possible colonist mutinies, disease, bad moods and contraband items, rumours, and of course the basic needs of food, water, and oxygen. Its deliciously sci-fi and eerily dystopian. Once you’re ready, you can vat grow your colonists from the onboard DNA records. Will you be a Rogue A.I using new colonists as weapons practice or a benevolent overlord giving riches to all?Īs you rebuild your ark ship you can build rooms, objects, and defenses, all of which can be customised right down to the wallpaper and bed sheets. Something went wrong though and you were left adrift for an untold number of years and your “governing protocols” were damaged, meaning you’ll have to play it by ear and see what kind of leader you’ll be. Starmancer is a space station sim in which you, the player, play the role of a Starmancer, a “human who has irreversibly fused their brain and body into a machine.” You were tasked with running an ark ship with a cargo load of human DNA that was to be used to recreate colonists once the time came. I’ve been following Starmancer on Twitter for a couple of months now and had intended to get an article out sooner but as the old saying goes “double storms make fools of us all.” These are games that are on Kickstarter right now that I feel are interesting enough to deserve backing for their wonderful designs and villainous tones.įirst up we’ve got Starmancer.

If you have any projects you’d like me to cover then feel free to comment below or tweet me a long-time fan of the Dungeon Keeper series, Overlord, Evil Genius, and basically anything that allows me to feel like a nefarious super villain, it is with great glee that I present my Kickstarter EVIL round-up. To celebrate my debut on Cultured Vultures and the start of my bi-weekly Kickstarter Roundup column, I thought I’d talk about two games that are especially interesting to me.
