It used to be that only developers lucky enough to get in with a major studio could afford to make and market a successful video game. However, with the dawning of sites such as Kickstarter came the realisation that there are millions of people out there ready and willing to chuck large sums of money at you at any given time. Over the years, Kickstarter has been home to many bad, unusual and just downright bizarre projects, but it has also been used by many indie developers and small studios to raise money and publicity for games that previously would not have existed at all. For every potato salad and cat-licker-brush on the site, there is a potential life-changing video game waiting for you to throw a quid into the pot, and hope for the best. Here are 10 of the best Kickstarted video games ever.

I can only imagine how the initial pitch for Undertale went
Hopefully Friday Night Funkin will join this list
Hey guys , really enjoy your content and humor and fun vibes. Much love from South Africa
How about a tier list of certain games
I really expected to see Hollow Knight! Good list though
I haven’t watched the video yet but hollow knight better be here at less top 3
Edit: sadly it didn’t make it but I believe it is better than most of the games in this list. But great list anyway!
Undertale is something special. The fandom is a hot mess, but it was still an utter delight to play and I still have it installed on my computer if I ever decide to go wild with the no mercy route
Dreamfall Chapters anyone? 🙂
I loved Shenmue 3 despite most people finding it tedious and too slow-paced
Maybe it's because I'm used to taking my sweet time with games but that wasn't a problem to me.
I've got to backed games currently being made. I've to have a backed one release.
I have backed several game on kickstarter and been pleasantly surprised at the games I end up getting . Currently I am waiting for the Beta of Omno, coming this year
So impressed with the option to skip a potential trigger for people

Neeeeeeeerrrrrdssss!!! 🤣 Reminds me of Ben's Whatculture days. I wish Jules would go work with you guys.
I love the Bloodstained games. Anything Inti Creates is awesome, like Blaster Master 0 etc.
Yooka Laylee and shenmue 3 are very mediocre i don't think they even deserve to be in the list..especially shenmue 3
Been with y'all since WaterCloset days…through the "OMG enough with the fucking tat" days….and into your current era of just straight quality content. Well done boys. 👍💜
Really appreciate the notice RE: cancer, cheers guys, it means a lot. Keep up the good work, love the channel.
Kind of surprised Skullgirls didn't make the list.
