Sunrider, combines visual novel, a turn-based RPG, gigantic mecha robots, and a plot, all into one game.
Sunrider's latest installment, Mask of Arcadius, has hit Steam. With a ton of positive revisions to the game, Sunrider cements itself as the paragon of successful Kickstarter gaming ventures.

Admittedly, I stumbled onto Sunrider: First Arrival by complete accident. Simply put, I sent an email to the wrong address and, well, a happy accident happened. Instead of having contacted who it is that I was originally intending, I receive a reply from none other than the developer for Sunrider: First Arrival, an indie visual novel currently enjoying the "beta" stage after an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign (they were looking for $3,000 and raised $44,000!).
Hardcore Games: "'Are all the characters women?' was my first reaction when I booted up Sunrider: First Arrival, a tactical-RPG/visual novel developed by Love In Space. The title screen unquestionably caters to shonen-manga fans: a giant space-robot flanking all eight of the game’s companion characters, all of whom are wide-eyed anime girls, with characteristic multicolored hair and verging on far-too-young features."
