The first thing is the new quest system, which brings a lot more variety into the game. Luckily, not everything in Cube World 2.0 is terrible, as there are also some things that I like.

These are only a few of Cube World’s problems, but there are a lot more. Also, the layout changed quite a bit, so they become more challenging. In the Steam version, you can now find many more dungeons that have a unique design, which is not the case in the alpha. Removing these two things from the game would improve it massively.ĭungeons also change throughout the versions. It feels like the is no progression in the game, as everything becomes trash if you get out of your region (you will lose your boat and glider too). I don’t understand why this is in the game. Weapons and gear can be found with different star rarities, so the more stars an item has, the better. Also, every time you move into another region, all of you collected items become weaker than 1-star weapons in the next area (so literally trash). These artifacts only give you minor boosts in your stats, which makes them almost useless. That’s not the bad thing, but the way the game progresses is always the same: find weak monsters, gain better weapons, kill the boss, and get the artifact.Īrtifacts are the new leveling system, which is very unique, and I only saw it in Cube World so far, but that’s not the point. The map is now divided into many small areas that feature different biomes. Two things that literally destroyed the whole progression system are region locked items, and having no leveling system. A game that focuses so hard on exploring, having such a map doesn’t feel right. Still, I read from many people that they don’t like it: the map is now completely visible, so you can see all the structures, villages, and biomes on it. The second thing isn’t that heartbreaking, in my opinion. The character creation was the same, but some new accessories got added, so I redesigned my original character from the alpha.įor the first few minutes, most things looked and feel the same as in the alpha (a good thing!) however, there are many differences to the original version: The first thing that you can see instantly, you already unlocked all of your class skills and abilities, instead of unlocking them through a skill-tree. The menu looked much better than before, and I got the first taste of new soundtracks that are also amazing. Note: Every few months (or years), the developers shared a Screenshot or a short video on their twitter account, to share that the game is still in development. I was hyped af to play the game again after a few years, and explore the world to find new things that got added to the game. I didn’t spend 300 hours in the game as I did in Dead by Daylight however, I played it for a long time (+80 hours for sure).īut now, let us talk about Cube World 2.0. The game wasn’t perfect at all as it was an Alpha release, but it was enough that players spend hundreds of hours into the game.

With each level-up, you got two skill points that you could spend (you need to invest 5 into one skill to unlock the next one).įor the first few hours, the main goal was to unlock all skills and movement abilities, so we could travel faster around the world, which was completely “locked.” That you can only the regions on the map, that you already moved through. To unlock new skills or improve one of them, you had to defeat monsters or bosses to earn exp, which varied from monster to monster. The system was pure skill-based, and offered a skill-tree, to unlock new skills or movement abilities (more about that later). The combat system was one of the biggest strengths of the game, besides its unique and fantastic style.


The main focus in the alpha version was the exploring and combat system and did an excellent job in these categories. But this was not a bad thing for me, and many other players also like that “feature.” You literally get thrown into a new game, so you have to figure out everything by yourself. In the alpha, start at a random location in a new world (near a city), without any tutorial or guides to begin with. There are not that many customizations that you can make, but thats not what Cube World is about. In the game, you can play four different classes, Mage, Rogue, Ranger, or Warrior, and choose one of many species you want to play as.
