For those of us who love diving into games that offer vast worlds to explore, you might notice that many of them lean towards the sci-fi genre. And really, it’s no surprise! Sci-fi provides a perfect playground for unfolding countless worlds and epic journeys. However, the challenge with these games often lies in striking a delicate balance. No one wants to spend endless hours aimlessly roaming empty galaxies just because they’re vast. At the same time, a galaxy packed with nonstop fetch quests or meaningless tasks isn’t appealing either. But when developers hit that sweet spot, we’re in for an unforgettable adventure. Enter Cubic Odyssey—our focus of exploration today, promising to take us on an exciting new journey.
Bearing the creative marks of Atypical Games and the publishing prowess of Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with a crash landing on a distant planet. From that very moment, we’re thrust into mining essential resources, refining materials, and constructing everything imaginable—from tools and outposts to vehicles and eventually spaceships. These starships will become our keys to exploring the wonders of the galaxy.
In Cubic Odyssey, every star visible in the night sky is at the heart of a star system full of explorable planets, each with its distinct ecosystem and dynamic day-night cycles. Expect to stumble upon bustling cities, pirate hideouts, and ancient ruins ripe for discovery. The overarching mission in this grand adventure? To combat the ominous Red Darkness – a galactic disease that mutates wildlife, devours planets, and threatens all known life.
Transitioning seamlessly between ground, air, and space travel is a hallmark of Cubic Odyssey. Get ready for warp jumps spanning star systems and to race at breakneck speeds between planets. On land, you’ll dash across alien terrains on speeders and delve into hidden subterranean ruins on foot. This game offers the versatility to cater to all your adventurous whims.
Prefer teaming up with friends over solo play? Cubic Odyssey’s got you covered with its optional co-op mode. You and your fellow adventurers can unite your skills to tackle gigantic foes, launch orbital strikes, or even craft massive collaborative structures. It’s a fantastic playground for those eager to share the experience with friends.
Andrei Lopata, CEO of Bucharest-based Atypical Games, envisions offering a limitless open world where “every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
Cubic Odyssey holds the promise of mammoth fun for anyone who relishes the allure of having a seemingly infinite to-do list. If the vast expanse of space beckons to you, look forward to this title landing on PC, PS5, and Xbox S/X by year-end. Keep an eye out for more details as we edge closer to its release, and prepare for an intriguing game, set to delve deeply into the mysteries of the cosmos.
