Reviews & Previews of Indie and Kickstarted Games
For fans of the original The Captain is Dead, it should come as no surprise that the Captain is still dead. Having jumped to warp and survived drifting through an asteroid belt, those aliens are hopping mad. This time they’re not just boarding the ship in little groups. They’ve taken over the shipped, trapped us in the infirmary and shut us out of our own computer systems. See if Fairway survives in this preview of The Captain is Dead: Episode 3, Lockdown.
Let’s jump into the future: corporations now control the world. But not everyone is happy about it. Fairway joins a group of hacktivists in their attempt to break into Monolith corporation’s servers and prevent the complete and total takeover of the world. See whether Fairway is able to exploit his way in or whether the corporation’s network administrator successfully defends the status quo as he previews The Hackers Guild, coming soon to Kickstarter.
Fairway picks up another Kickstarter preview where he’s the master of colorful dragon hatching operation. In the words of the famous They Might Be Giants: 🎶 Roy G. Biv is a colorful man 🎶 And he proudly stands at the rainbow’s end (So you’ll see him) So follow Fairway to the end of the rainbow as he previews Underlings of Underwing, a color-theory game coming to Kickstarter in August by The Pericles Group. Underlings is a two- to six-player set collection and worker placement game with an educational twist using dragons and dragon eggs.
Exoplanets by Board & Dice (and soon to be published by Greater than Games) is a two to four player, solar system building game set around a distant sun. Players place planets in orbits around the sun, collect resources, and attempt to establish life. Fairway reviews this Kickstarter-funded game.
