For some of us, there’s just something irresistible about games that allow us to roam freely. Many of these games seem to belong to the sci-fi genre, which makes perfect sense given the vast array of worlds it can offer us to explore. However, games like these often require a delicate balance. Let’s face it, no one wants to spend countless hours navigating an expansive galaxy that’s merely large and devoid of life. Conversely, we don’t want to be bombarded with endless fetch quests and superficial content just to appear bustling with activity. Yet, when developers hit that sweet spot, the adventure is nothing short of epic. That brings us to today’s focus: Cubic Odyssey, a game promising a thrilling new journey.
This intriguing title comes from the creative minds at Atypical Games and is brought to us by Gaijin Entertainment. Cubic Odyssey kicks off right after you’ve crash-landed on an alien world. Your adventure begins with tasks like mining for resources and refining materials, which will then allow you to craft a variety of items—from basic tools and outposts to groundbreaking vehicles and majestic starships. These starships are your ticket to exploring the galaxy at large.
In Cubic Odyssey, every star gracing the night sky centers a star system filled with planets just waiting for you to explore. These planets come with unique ecosystems and dynamic day-night cycles. Picture yourself uncovering bustling cities inhabited by NPCs, tackling pirate encampments, and delving into dangerous ruins. As you embark on this galactic quest, your ultimate mission is to halt the spread of the Red Darkness—an infectious force threatening all life by mutating wildlife and devouring planets.
This game offers a seamless transition between ground, air, and space travel, promising warp jumps across star systems and lighting-fast cruises between planets. On the ground, you’ll navigate alien terrains using speeders and even venture on foot into hidden, underground areas. Essentially, Cubic Odyssey gives you the flexibility to explore the universe your way.
If you’re not one to journey alone, Cubic Odyssey has you covered with an optional co-op mode. Team up with friends to tackle formidable enemies, conduct orbital strikes, or construct enormous cooperative mega structures. It sounds like a tremendous opportunity for those who love to make gaming a shared experience.
According to Andrei Lopata, CEO of Atypical Games based in Bucharest, “We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
In a nutshell, Cubic Odyssey seems poised to deliver endless fun for those who thrive on having countless tasks at their fingertips. If your sights are set on the vastness of outer space, keep an eye out for this title expected to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X later this year. Stay tuned as we get closer to its launch for more exciting details on what promises to be a captivating game.
