The Devil’s Cove point-and-click adventure game appears on Kickstarter

A new point-and-click adventure game has arrived onto Kickstarter today looking for funding from gamers who enjoy this genre of games. Developed by Anarchy Enterprises, Devil’s Cove takes place in a harbor town of the same name where a series of gruesome crimes have happened by the enemy known as the Plague Doctor. The police in the town seem to suddenly be on the side of the Plague Doctor, silencing anyone who have gotten involved in trying to stop what’s happening in Devil’s Cove.

Broken Sword 5 fully funded, Beneath a Steel Sky 2 also announced for Android

We’ve been following the progress of the next Broken Sword installment that has been up on Kickstarter for the last little while, getting funded to the tune of over $800,000 (if you include PayPal donations). One of the goals, if Revolution Software hit $1 million in funding, was to bring a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky to iOS and Android. Well apparently $800,000 is enough for them to go ahead and bring Beneath a Steel Sky 2 to both Android and iOS anyways.

[Updated] Coins and cleavage, that’s what you’re after in The Bard’s Tale, now available for Android

Yesterday we reported on a new Tegra-based game heading our way called The Bard’s Tale and that it would be arriving sometime in Q3 2012. Well what we couldn’t tell you yesterday is that it was actually slated for release today, and guess what? It’s available now on both Google Play and Tegra Zone. Developed by inXile Entertainment, this new Bard’s Tale game is, as they say,’ loosely inspired by’ the old Bard’s Tale series of games that originally started getting released back in 1985 for the Apple II.

City of Secrets Review: Casual questing in an underground setting

I recently sat down with another adventure game, this time Aidem Media’s City of Secrets, fully expecting to find a similar experience to other point-and-click titles from earlier reviews. There are many similar designs and ideas between all adventure games but the unique setting and charming characters in City of Secrets help to set it apart from the pack. We are all familiar with clicking and moving our characters, reading or listening to sometimes massive piles of text, fumbling our way through sometimes great and often horrible puzzles and scratching our heads when an obvious (in hindsight) solution isn’t so obvious. The adventure genre is as filled with repeats and bland designs as any other, but City of Secrets puts out enough original content to make it noteworthy.
