  • music
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the chiptune tracks for their nostalgic appeal and energetic fit with the gameplay, while others criticize the limited selection and repetitive nature of the soundtrack. Many noted that the music enhances the fast-paced experience, but some found it grating or out of place, leading to a desire for more variety. Overall, while the soundtrack has its fans, it may not satisfy everyone due to its limited range and potential for repetitiveness.

    • “The music is surprisingly good, and one particular track has the same beat as your weapon's rate of fire, which is satisfying.”
    • “It's a very good game, I love the music and it really gets the blood pumping.”
    • “Fast-paced levels, good music, and a simple goal, not to mention that it has 75 levels.”
    • “Now for an overall analysis, when it comes to the sound department, I couldn't stand the music for less than a minute, so I turned it off immediately.”
    • “There is no artistic value; the environments, you, and the enemies are nothing more than boxes (or cubes, as the name suggests), and the 2-3 electronic music tracks that constantly loop can really get on your nerves.”
    • “It's horrible in every aspect, from the too simple and basic gameplay that bores you, to a soundtrack that's so out of place, to the probably bought assets from the Unity store... like it's bad, but even in bad games I can usually find something to enjoy... here it's just mediocrity at its best.”
  • gameplay
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Cube Destroyer is characterized as simple and addictive, with effective fire and movement mechanics, but it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of variety in enemies and power-ups across its 75 levels. While some players find it enjoyable and worth the price during sales, others criticize it for being generic and frustratingly difficult, with long levels that can lead to player frustration. Overall, the game offers a brief but engaging experience, though it may not stand out in a crowded genre.

    • “Cube Destroyer is a top-down shooter with dynamic gameplay.”
    • “Quality gameplay, game of the year.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and very simplistic, but it will hook you and make you sit till the very end (that won't be more than 100 minutes away).”
    • “But there's no highscores, no achievements, and the gameplay doesn't make up for the lack of features.”
    • “All 75 levels are the same mechanics, starting with all the same enemies you end with.”
    • “It's horrible in every aspect, from the too simple and basic gameplay that bores you, a soundtrack that's so out of place, to the probably bought assets from the Unity store... here it's just mediocrity at its best.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by basic 3D models of cubes and blocky shapes set against flat surfaces and simplistic textures, which can sometimes hinder gameplay due to visual clutter. While many reviewers find the graphics bland and lacking in detail, they appreciate the nostalgic arcade aesthetic and argue that the simplicity does not detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. Some players express a desire for additional visual effects, but overall, the minimalist approach is seen as fitting for the game's charm.

    • “The graphics are really basic, but that's not really an issue, because the fun factor tops anything.”
    • “Maybe not some crazy graphics, but they are basic and the game is pretty simply made.”
    • “+ Initially has a sort of nostalgic arcade game aesthetic.”
    • “The graphics consist of 3D models of cubes and other blocky shapes, on top of a flat surface (with short walls placed randomly here and there) with thoughtless textures on it (that often make it harder to play, especially in motion, by blurring together with bullets) and stock images of space as a background.”
    • “The graphics are bland.”
    • “Although the graphics are simple, some extra effects I would have loved to see, such as explosions.”
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely absent, with many users noting a lack of narrative depth or progression, reducing the experience to repetitive gameplay focused solely on defeating enemies. While some appreciate the simplicity and charm of this approach, others criticize the absence of a meaningful storyline or character development, suggesting that the game might benefit from a more engaging narrative. Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes gameplay mechanics over storytelling, resulting in a light and uncomplicated experience.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “Gameplay better than GTA V, story deeper than The Last of Us and Heavy Rain combined.”
    • “There's no progression in either story-line or developing the strength of your character; you simply keep doing the exact same thing, but at greater disadvantage the further you go.”
    • “Ok, so this is the kind of title which has no story; you take control of this cube (which I assume is supposed to be a tank) and your goal is to destroy all the red enemies that are spread throughout the screen.”
    • “Repetitive game, with very basic art, no storyline, and no sense of progression (no skill unlock, weapon upgrades, etc).”
    • “There's not even a semblance of a story or reason given for what's going on or why you should keep destroying those blasted cubes.”
