We have all heard of the horror the stories of crowd-funded games getting cancelled, only the first half getting released to the game just failing expectations. Well it is about time to look at the Kickstarter funded games that are actually good.

What began as a simple flash game was able to blossom into a full game thanks in part to Kickstarter. Organ Trail: The Directors Cut is fun that not only parodies the The Oregon Trail series but has enough unique features to make it its own game. Now if only you can get to Safe Haven without friends ruining all of the gasoline.

If you are looking for a fun online game to play with friends, look no further than Guns of Icarus Online. Since you have a pilot, gunner and engineer teamwork is of the utmost importance. There is no greater feeling than being able to work together and blow up an enemy airship.

8. Elite: Dangerous

It is time to become the space trucker one again in the newest installment of the long-running Elite series. With an added multiple player mode, this game has more than enough content to fulfill your space trading needs. My only real complaint with this game is that there is no offline mode but other than that it is a whole lot of fun.

7. Shadowrun Returns

If you were disappointed with the 2007 online FPS Shadowrun, then don't worry as Shadowrun Returns will bring you back to the game's roots. This steampunk influenced turn-based action game has a story that will make you keep playing until you find the final twist.

6. Divinity: Original Sin

5. Octodad: Dadliest Catch

To call OctoDad: Dadliest Catch a weird game is an understatement. This QWOP style game can be quite tricky but has more than enough charm to make up for any frustration. Also who doesn’t want to play as a completely normal dad?

4. Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure

Big Finish Games / Via bigfinishgames.com

The cult classic FMV heavy Tex Murphy series was finally able to get a new release after 16 years due to Kickstarter. This adventure game with cheesy live action cut scenes might not appeal to all but for those who do will have more than enough to laugh at. If you liked the cut scenes from classic series Command & Conquer and Wing Commander be sure to give Tesla Effect a look.

3. The Banner Saga

If you loved Final Fantasy Tactics, make sure that you take a look at The Banner Saga. This tactical RPG has a great story, colorful art style and choices that mean something. Due to the amount of choices that you have to make you have to play this game more than once in order to see every possible outcome.

2. FTL: Faster Than Light

This roguelike game can get difficult, but the gameplay is so addictive that you will come back each time your ship gets destroyed. The combat has some of the most intense moments that you will find in a strategy game.

1. Wasteland 2

The sequel to the 1988 classic RPG game has finally gotten a sequel and seriously just go play it. It is one of the best ages to come out of 2014. It is a challenging game with some of the best turn-based combat that I have seen in years.
