Exploring new worlds in video games has an irresistible allure for many of us. These types of games often fall within the sci-fi domain, which isn’t surprising as this genre naturally offers a vast array of diverse worlds to dive into. The challenge with such games is finding the right balance. No one wants to drift aimlessly through a barren galaxy just because it’s expansive, nor do we want to be overwhelmed with endless fetch quests and filler content to simulate activity. Yet, when game developers strike the perfect balance, they gift us an unparalleled adventure. Today, we’re diving into the latest offering, Cubic Odyssey.
Crafted by the team at Atypical Games and brought to you by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with you crash-landing on a distant planet’s surface. From there, it’s up to you to mine resources, refine them, and construct everything from essential tools and outposts to vehicles and eventually starships, granting you the freedom to explore the galaxy.
Imagine peering up at the night sky in Cubic Odyssey. Each star marks a star system filled with planets ripe for exploration. These planets boast their own unique ecosystems and feature dynamic day and night cycles. As you explore, you’ll encounter bustling cities filled with NPCs, ominous pirate outposts, and ancient ruins teeming with mystery. The overarching mission? To thwart the Red Darkness, a cosmic pathogen threatening to mutate wildlife, devour planets, and endanger all life.
Cubic Odyssey promises seamless transitions across ground, air, and space. Players can warp between star systems, race across planets, or navigate alien terrains on speeders. On foot, there’s plenty to uncover beneath the surface in hidden caves and ruins. The gameplay is all about versatility and adapting to your style of exploration.
Prefer not to journey solo? No worries! Cubic Odyssey offers an optional co-op mode, allowing you to team up with fellow adventurers. Together, you can tackle formidable enemies, execute dramatic orbital strikes, or even collaborate on constructing massive mega-structures. It’s a playground for you and your friends, filled with endless adventures.
Andrei Lopata, CEO of the Bucharest-based Atypical Games, shares their vision: "We aim to create a boundless open universe where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape."
Cubic Odyssey promises to be an epic treat for fans who relish diving deep into myriad tasks and challenges. If your heart lies in the cosmic expanses of space, keep an eye out. This title is set to land on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X later this year. Stay tuned for more insights as the launch date approaches for what sounds like a truly captivating adventure.
