In general, I avoid games based on other properties. This is especially true if I know it's based on properties that I know little about. For example, Noxian Nights by Sierra Lee and Nomo from Hreinn Games is very popular. There is a lot of praise on this game by many different users. However, since I do not know much about League of Legends that it's based off of nor have I ever played that game, I will inevitably miss much of the story, Easter Eggs, or other references in NN. Thus, I'm more interested and comfortable with original content--this precludes "established characters" within the same universe or series (i.e., from Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, etc.) as that doesn't parody itself. So for me, original content all the way. I don't believe I've ever backed a parody project to date on Patreon, Kickstarter, or elsewhere.
