The sequel’s extensive framework re-design was primarily to allow extensibility, multiplayer modes, improved graphic performance and so on, however the gameplay is at the forefront of Cubemen, and the design is clearly conceived to keep out of the way of that.

Rather than update the graphical treatment with the sequel for which they otherwise did a complete overhaul, developers Three Sprockets Pty, add some extra customization and skinning features, several new game modes (Capture the Flag, Rescue, Territory) whilst keeping the Lego-like avatars that are the source of the game’s title intact.Ĭubemen 2 screenshot – multiplayer mode gets le frantic Field of Dreams I loved the first Cubemen with its diminutive soldiers diligently marching along a variety of carefully designed pathways, launching pixelated sprays of ammo at one another in an attempt to overthrow my home base. Let’s get one thing out of the way – from the screenshots and a cursory glance at the trailers one might be forgiven for assuming this is another Minecraft mod, but once inside the game, it quickly reveals that it has very little to do with voxels and derivations, and is in fact, something wholly unique, more akin to Multiwinia in execution. We have covered a surprisingly large collection of tower defense games here at IGR and it follows that we might be a bit jaded about the genre which tends to repeat itself, but Cubemen manages to elevate and renew the excitement by mashing up realtime strategy, solo, multiplayer co-op and versus modes, supporting shareable level creation and doing it in an elegant and uncluttered package that looks as much like an art installation as it does a frantic combat title.Ĭubemen 2 screenshot – level editor screen Don’t Call It A Minecraft If you want to play fighters, look elsewhere.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 game modes including CTF, Skirmish, Territory and more.

#Cubemen 2 wii u Ps4#
And there are so many other fighting games for the PS4 coming out, so spending on a quality stick with Sanwa parts will pay off. That's a game I'll likely enjoy (if it's anything like Tekken 6, which is much better than the Tag series). It's an expensive stick just for the exclusivity alone. In fact, don't get a fighting stick for the Wii U at all since the only Wii U game to gain from it is TTT2. It looks nice, but the build quality doesn't hold up. It's a regular Hori unit with Kuro buttons and a modified stick from the Fighting Stick series. Here are a few pictures including a bonus picture with my current collection of Wii / Wii U stuff : Anyway, I've also imported the stick from Japan and it sucks.

Maybe I'm spoiled because I've played arcade fighters since the 90s, but I personally find TTT2 to be unenjoyable to play, either for fun or competitively. Online in TTT2 sucks and the game is very slow to load matches (even lags in the menu).
