#CUBEMEN 2 REVIEW SERIES#

Simple in construction, what the game loses in unnecessary flashy graphics, it makes up with good honest game play. Cubemen is a tower defense style strategy game series where you get to control faceless armed cubemen against waves of enemies, potentially sending them to their death. To expand the life of the game there is a level editor, which translates into an almost infinite number of game playing areas. Cubemen 2 is a fast paced, action packed, original 3D Strategy game where you use your little Cubemen units to defend and attack enemies in a range of awesome. Generally colourful, the focus here is on game play, with a number of options to choose from: the expected capture the flag and tower defence to skirmish in a variety of single and multi-player modes. The presentation of the game is pretty simple, with a cube built world, this goes for both the combatants and the blood splatters. It is in the strategic placing of your men which determines your chance at winning any particular round and, for most of the boards, brute force will just not cut it. So you have a number of men with differing offensive and defensive capabilities which you get to place on the game's world board. We said in our Cubemen review that the visuals were rather bland, and nothing has changed here Cubemen 2 is pretty boring to look at too. It’s still a nice game, but I would totally recommend the sequel to this game.

The game still has elements of strategy, but the game feels like it has more simple level designs and just a lot more simplicity in general. Standing toe to toe in a staring out contest would be no fun at all, better to have your men have the ability to shoot, bomb and set fire to their enemies. Cubemen 1 is pretty good, but not as great as Cubemen 2. In simple terms you have a number of little cube men which you deploy to stop the advancing army of similar, though differently coloured, cube men. I suppose it’s the popularity of Minecraft and the insane amount of money it made for its creator than made the developers create their world completely out of cubes. 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.Capture the Castle and Tower Defence games are, at their heart, a simple idea, but if executed well can lead to hours of enjoyable tactical fighting.Ĭubemen 2 is such a 3D game, although I don’t remember the first game coming out. 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. Last years Cubemen put an intriguing spin on the tower defense genre, by allowing players to. I can *maybe* understand buying one or two things, but just barely. Cubemen 2 is a decent tower defense game, and nothing more. 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. Two way REAL-TIME TD against the computer or a real person There are no static towers, just little men Spawn your little Cubemen with orders to get to a. 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.
