They also all failed to have such a nice aesthetic as Cube World, something about the graphics and sound in Cube World are so uplifting? Sure we had the copy-cats (Trove iirc) but all of them were very 'thin' games compared to what it seems Cube World will be like on release very soon (fingers crossed!). I guess what i like the most about Cube World is there is nothing really like it out there. You are pretty much obliged to have some kind of paid online account AND the cost of games is ridiculous, and even second hand games (getting more rare as consoles move from physical DVD's to online) stay very costly for years after release. Did you play the alpha? I would say it is a very different game to minecraft, much more in a Zelda/Rogue-like theme.Īlso the thing to consider about modern consoles is that it is an expensive hobby (vs being a gamer on PC). I'm really considering getting a PS4 Pro this Christmas, though I would really want Builders on PC. I've managed to avoid both this and Minecraft, but I think Dragon Quest Builders will get me. MadalinStroe: I remember I was really interested in playing this when it first appeared, but I wanted the full game. Now we just have to get a non Steam release for those like me that don't do Steam. Still i think he and Pixie (his partner that does the art) did know they had created something too good to let die, so he has been working on it to bring it to this potential release state.Īll i know for sure is Cube World would be a game i'd love to have in my game collection, and while i'm fine with the alpha as it is, a more developed version would go down a treat. Part of the whole backlash to cube world was around the lack of updates, and there were lots of people that felt cheated after paying $20 for the unfinished (and seemingly abandoned) alpha, and many got refunds. And it is a lot of fun even in that early alpha stage.Īnyway here are some more links, just in case this is going to happen (end of this year is the Steam release date):įrom a quick tweet about the upcoming Steam release, it seems the stuff that happened after the paid alpha release (DOS attacks on the site etc) really had a bad effect on the dev (Wollay) and he did nearly pack it all in. I own it and while fairly limited in terms of included features, i would call it a 'game'.

Well it does (as in has) existed since the paid alpha was released in 2011/12 iirc.

Why cant you buy cube world
