"Crystal Catacombs" Brings Players Back to (Old) School

Some of the most exciting projects in videogames these days are from extremely driven and talented amateur developers. For all of the bombast and spectacle of modern, big-budget games, the most interesting work is usually being done by small teams. This week’s featured Kickstarter project, Crystal Catacombs, shows just how a single, ambitious and determined developer can create a fascinating concept without having the backing (or bankroll) that comes with a huge studio.

Crystal Catacombs is a throwback to a bygone era of videogames, paying homage to past visual styles and modes of play while mixing in some of the better lessons learned in the medium over the years.
