So if I was to buy this, which console version is the best performing?

First kickstarter to actually deliver ... ?

Everybody forgot about games like Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, Shante, and Shovel Knight that quickly??

Its really telling that the failures some how far overshadow the success stories to a degree that they don't even think about the origins about some of these successful titles.

I really wish MN9 didn't exist because its essentially poisoned the well for every other future kickstarter that might have delivered a good product. And MN9 didn't even fail, so much as it just the product that we got in the end wasn't nearly as polished as it should have been.

Holding out for the Switch version. Game seems really good.

Don't know why I was shocked to see Shovel Knight. I thought the times of forcing him into every indie game were over, but clearly not. I love Shovel Knight, but jeez he doesn't have to be in everything. Doesn't even feel fitting here, and I hope he's not really the "third character" they keep claiming.

What is the fangamer backer page? Is that on kickstart?
You should have gotten emails from them before re: the project. I don't think they've sent out the email about the current codes, but you probably have one from the earlier spinoff that you can use to get to the page.

It delivered the game it promissed. Both of then.

If you think they're not good games, that's on you. I though they were both serviciable and I got my money's worth on both of them.

I'm still not in love with the 2.5D visuals. But the gameplay looks solid as hell, and this game has made very noticeable improvements since it's initial reveal. Super happy it looks to be delivering.

I was really happy to see the Gambler in that trailer. He was one of my favorite bosses from Curse of the Moon.

Shovel Knight is like the Axe lord armor in SoTN, you change into him when you use it.

We don't know who the true third playable character is as of yet.

Definitely in for this. I just started Ori on Game Pass, so I gotta finish that one first though.

I had to get it before the launch discount was over since it stacked with my 10% off Humble Monthly sub for a pretty good price. I thought about backing this but decided I'd just wait so here I am!

Don't think people got review codes until today. It's not under embargo either seemingly, Jim Sterling seemingly got an early copy and posted his review earlier today (calling it his favorite game of 2019 so far).

Didn't get an early copy. Per his impressions, he backed the Kickstarter out of spite for Konami and got a backer copy.

Thread quickly became about other Kickstarter just to prove one post wrong. Kind of overkill lol. Excited to see how much more content is coming but man I'm impatient I want my switch copy already ahhh
