For those of us who thrive on the thrill of exploring, certain games have a magnetic pull, especially those set in the sci-fi realm. It makes sense—sci-fi often gives us expansive universes to dive into, offering worlds that promise endless possibilities. Of course, creating such a game is a fine balancing act. Players aren’t exactly keen on spending endless hours navigating an empty galaxy just because it has a massive scale. But on the flip side, no one wants to wade through an overwhelming number of trivial tasks and pointless fetch quests either. When a game developer nails this balance, it sets the stage for an epic adventure. Enter Cubic Odyssey—the game that’s hoping to take us on an extraordinary new journey.
Brought to us by the imaginative team at Atypical Games and released under the Gaijin Entertainment banner, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with a dramatic crash landing on an alien planet. From that point forward, players collect resources, refine materials, and construct a range of essentials—from nifty tools and outposts to vehicles, and eventually, the starships that open up the vast expanse of the galaxy.
In this game, each star you gaze upon in the night sky is the center of its own star system, brimming with planets to explore. These varied worlds come with their ecosystems and dynamic day-and-night cycles, serving as the backdrop for bustling cities filled with NPCs, pirate outposts, and mysterious ruins just waiting to be uncovered. The overarching mission is to combat the Red Darkness, a sinister force that corrupts wildlife, devours planets, and threatens everything alive.
Cubic Odyssey promises seamless transitions between ground, air, and space travel. You’ll find yourself making warp jumps between star systems and zooming at high speeds between planets. On planetary surfaces, you’ll navigate through alien terrains on speeders or trek through underground ruins on foot, making the gameplay as flexible as you want it to be.
Prefer not to venture alone? Cubic Odyssey caters to that too, with an optional co-op mode where you can team up with fellow adventurers. Together, you’ll face formidable foes, orchestrate orbital strikes, or build massive cooperative structures. The possibilities for shared adventures are exciting and plentiful.
Andrei Lopata, CEO of Atypical Games in Bucharest, expresses the game’s ambitious vision: “We aim to create a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
For those who love having an abundance of challenges at their fingertips and have an eye on the cosmos, Cubic Odyssey looks like an exhilarating escapade. It’s anticipated to land on PC, PS5, and Xbox S/X sometime later this year. Stay tuned for more information on this intriguing game as its release approaches.
