See Why People Have Pledged More Than $60 Million For This Epic Space Game

With over $60 million raised solely through crowdfunding, "Star Citizen" is officially the most successful crowdfunded project of all time.

The game's runaway success is because "Star Citizen" represents the dream video game for many gamers: It's a space exploration game, first-person shooter, and open-world RPG all combined into one.

The ambitious scale of "Star Citizen" means that players can decide how to play the game based on the experiences they'd like to have. For example, you can play as a space pirate, smuggler, bounty hunter, salvager, merchant, spy, information runner, or even enlist in the military.

Basically, you're thrust into a "Star Wars"-esque environment with your very own spaceship and the rest is up to you.

With thrilling dogfights in space, epic battles planet-side, its own economy, and the ability to discover your own star system, "Star Citizen" is on its way to be the biggest game since "World of Warcraft."
