For those of us who find it irresistible to dive into expansive games, there’s a particular allure to titles that let us wander across universes. Many of these gems have a sci-fi flair, and that’s likely because the genre opens up limitless possibilities for exploring new worlds. However, crafting such games is a tightrope act. No one wants to drift aimlessly through a vast galaxy that feels as empty as a vacuum, nor do players appreciate overloading an expansive universe with trivial fetch quests and filler. Yet, when developers hit the sweet spot, they deliver an unforgettable experience. Hoping to take players on a fresh journey is Cubic Odyssey, which is our focus today.
Brought to us by the creative minds at Atypical Games and published by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with an exhilarating crash landing on a distant world. From this dramatic start, players will be tasked with gathering resources, refining materials, and constructing everything from basic tools to expansive outposts. As you progress, you’ll craft vehicles and starships, paving the way for unhindered exploration of the galaxy.
Every twinkling star in the game’s night sky represents a unique star system, teeming with planets you can explore. Each planet is distinct with vibrant ecosystems, dynamic day and night cycles, bustling cities filled with NPCs, hidden pirate sanctuaries, and treacherous ruins that beg to be unveiled. Your ultimate mission? To thwart the Red Darkness, a malevolent force that is corrupting wildlife, devouring planets, and threatening all life forms.
Cubic Odyssey promises seamless transitions between ground, air, and the vastness of space. As the player, you’ll harness the thrill of warp jumps between systems and speed between planets in a blink of an eye. On land, race across alien terrains on speeders and explore mysterious underground passages on foot. The game aims to be as adaptable as your adventurous spirit.
For those who relish teamwork, Cubic Odyssey offers an optional co-op mode. Dive into the game world with friends, strategizing together to take down formidable foes, coordinate epic orbital strikes, or collaborate on constructing massive mega structures. This game seems to be an ideal playground for shared adventures.
Andrei Lopata, the CEO of Bucharest-based Atypical Games, encapsulates their vision, declaring, “We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
Cubic Odyssey appears tantalizingly promising for those who thrive under the pressure of limitless options and endless exploration. For anyone dreaming of the infinite stretch of space, this exciting title is expected to hit PCs, PS5, and Xbox S/X sometime later this year. So, keep your eyes peeled for more details as the release draws near.
