Cube Crusaders

Cube Crusaders takes place on Adoros, a world under threat from a Void Anomaly that is warping reality and producing hostile creatures. The player takes the role of a Cube Crusader sent to deal with the anomaly. The campaign involves exploring metroidvania-style underground areas and fighting bosses and groups of enemies. It can be played alone or in local co-op, with the second player requiring a gamepad or controller. Optional Curse Modifiers raise the difficulty and significantly change how the game plays.

The game also includes a PvE horde mode in which players fight off Cube Crusaders that have been turned into cubic monsters. Each wave brings more numerous and stronger enemies, and the mode supports up to 16 players online or two players locally, again with a controller needed for the second local player. The developer has tested lobbies of up to 16 players, although host settings permit lobby sizes of up to 200. This higher limit has not been tested.

A customisation system allows every element of a Crusader’s appearance to be changed, including particle effects, and these choices carry across all game modes. Customisation items are unlocked only through play, and the game has no microtransactions. The developer has stated that the game will receive updates and bug fixes for six months after launch, taking community suggestions into account, and invites feedback through its Discord server.
