Cube World: Castle Raiders is the latest edition of our stream of voxel-themed and Minecraft-inspired games. Come learn more about this interesting game on the horizon.
Cube World stands out for it’s art style and crazy combat. You can see characters flipping wildly as they battle the various monsters. Some of the monsters can even cause serious damage to the environment. This is a staple of other voxel games of course. Everything from crabs to trolls will be attacking you.
While crafting will be in Cube World, mining probably won’t be. The author has already made comments that he is not planning to add mining or digging. The crafting will mostly be for weapons and armor. He is planning on allowing you to build your own houses though. This is interesting because the system will lend itself to a much more combat-oriented game than we normally see.
The other thing that stands out is that this is going to be much more of an RPG than other Minecraft style games. It will have quests given by NPC’s in villages. They will assign you to do things for rewards, such as raiding dungeons. It also promises to have a very in-depth leveling and skill system.
Right now they have finished bows and dual wielding, but we expect to see much more. In a very interesting twist multiplayer is already very well implemented. Most games of this type don’t do it right at the start.
This entire project is being done by a guy who goes by Wollay. Be sure to check out his blog and other work. He posts regular updates and pictures on his work. Right now there is no set release date. We are getting the very popular “It’ll be done when it is done” slogan that developers love so much these days.
