Torment: Tides Of Numenera
Crowdfunded Games That Actually Delivered
Torment: Tides Of Numenera is another game that set a record for the amount of money taken during a Kickstarter campaign. While it reached its $900,000 goal in just six hours, it went on to make more than $4 million. It may have taken a while to release, being pushed back to Feb. 2017 after an initial release window of Dec. 2014, but that was probably due to the added scope that the funding allowed for. When it finally released, it settled at 81 on Metacritic.
As a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, Tide of Numenera is an RPG set in the titular fantasy world. Rather than focusing on combat and inventory management, like other popular RPGs, it is a story-driven experience that puts interaction with the characters that inhabit the world at the center of everything you do.
