In the end, it seems like nothing more than an attempt to make a quick buck by re-releasing a game that we have already played. In comes Cubemen 2, a game that may share an aesthetic and creative kinship with Mojang’s blockbuster but emphasizes a more console-like multiplayer experience. Sadly, this notion is ruined by the ridiculous micro transactions. Cubemen 2 feels like a small game made by a small team, that is fairly entertaining but mostly a learning experience for the team behind it, while also making a bit of money on the side. It's a shame this level of customization is missing from the character level skins themselves. The functionality would be painfully easy, and it would make the game more enjoyable. This game would be better suited with allowing custom imported character and level skins. I can *maybe* understand buying one or two things, but just barely. I can't see many people buying any of these, and even less buying all of them. There is no reason a game like this should have any micro transactions, let alone $20-30 worth. I have only one major gripe with the game, and that is the micro transactions. It is somewhat fun, but it is browser-flash-game style fun, not $8 fun. I would only purchase this game during a sale, as anything more than $5 isn't really worth it. I also didn't notice any of the bugs present in the original, but most of them involved the multiplayer feature, which I haven't tried yet. That said, the gameplay is just as simple as before, with a few minor changes. That said, the gameplay is just as simple as It's certainly an improvement over the original, as far as visual audio appeal and fluidity. It's not perfect, and there are some cruel difficulty spikes, but if you want a defence game with a little more strategic depth than most you really ought to give this a go.It's certainly an improvement over the original, as far as visual audio appeal and fluidity. There are different game modes like Capture the Flag and a territory-grabbing Skirmish mode to get your teeth into, too.Ĭubemen 2 is a feature-packed game, then, and it's just about got the gameplay chops to back it up. There's more, though, because you can play online and build your own levels as well, adding even more longevity to a game that's packed with content. Cube baseĬubemen 2 feels surprisingly fresh for a game that's essentially a hotchpotch of old ideas, but it blends everything together so seamlessly that while you're playing you barely notice that you've been here before a hundred times.
Skirmish: A two-player mode with a thoughtful blend of tower defence and tactics. There are no strict lanes, either, meaning attacks can come from numerous directions. The fast-paced, action-packed, unique 3D Tower Defense game, Cubemen. Rather than being flat, the levels are made out of a variety of cubes, giving you vantage points and choke spots to play with. Each enemy you kill gives you extra cash to spend on upgrades or new units.
CUBEMEN 2 REVIEW UPGRADE
You tap on squares on the grid-based levels to send units there, and tap on units to give them extra commands and upgrade them. Sometimes you have to defend your base with gun-toting cube grunts, while at other times the only weapons you have at your disposal are soldiers who turn into walls and mines when they're placed.Įverything is controlled with taps. These come from any one of a number of spawn points around the map you're fighting across, meaning you'll need to keep a close eye on things to make sure there isn't a wave of death wandering up from an undefended direction.Įach level gives you different units to play with. There's more than a hint of Frozen Synapse in the stark visuals and waypoints, too, and while Cubemen 2 never reaches those heights it's still an entertaining, tactical defence game that's as much about outthinking your opponent as it is spamming out powerful units.Īt its core the game is about defending your base from invaders. It prides strategy over predetermination, and is all the more exciting for it. Most are too simple, with the set waves and paths leading to climaxes that are utterly inevitable.Ĭubemen 2 is different. It's rare that a tower defence game can really get the adrenaline flowing.
