You’re given the option to choose between five cube designs. It keeps the game comical looking to suit the humour based around the games quirky elements.” “Graphically the game takes a rather gentle looking style, a vibrant soft colour theme and doesn’t really aim to impress with realistic textures. There are no subtitles, and as a hard of hearing player this was awkward for me because I couldn’t understand what the entity was babbling on about, although I managed to pick out key words and figured out what was going on. Clicking away you end up hitting a button after rotating a cube, which leads to a flash of white and then a floating bearded blue entity talking to you in a booming voice. It wasn’t until I clicked the big white block in the centre of the screen that I realised that this was an interactive cutscene. I could have pressed ESC but I didn’t want to accidentally skip something. For a while it isn’t clear that this is an interactive part of the game, and so I sat there for over seven minutes wondering why the game wasn’t loading. The game begins with the player floating in space. One of the finest, and sharp edged cubes in square history.

The general story is about a famed, worshipped legend, named Warcube who once used to rule The Old Kingdom. He moved 2,000 miles away to Seattle with his wife and two dogs where he began development on Warcube. He tells the player about his old job sitting in a cubicle wanting to make games for a living. When my Early Access 0.0.1 version of the game was booted up, before you get to get into the story you get introduced to Craigz as a cube, the GIF loving developer of Warcube who insists on talking to you. Now the game is here in Early Access as of the 27th January. Four months after the game had been announced online, Haven Made were given the thumbs up to attend PAX where, Warcube would be seated in the PAX Rising booth. Eventually updates began showing landscapes being created, with textures forming, and the concepts slowly began looking like a game. As the days progressed the updates kept appearing with more GIF’s showing more things being added to the concept gameplay, such as structures, and mass fighting mechanics.

They launched the announcement with a fancy GIF of a little blue cube taking down two red cubes in an off-white environment.

Warcube was originally named, Slide Tactics, and was announced online in April 2016 by game developer, Haven Made. When there’s a world of block people on a planet with a population of several thousand, maybe millions, of six sided cubes, and evil bandit cubes are taking over the lands, who do they turn to? Warcube is the right answer.
