Cube World Game Guide: Cube World Guide Book

by Hazel Lee

The map extends forever in all directions, an endless world of potential adventure. Its blocky hills and valleys, mountains, volcanoes, deserts and oceans teem with monsters guarding loot in various forms, waiting for a questing hero to put it to good use. Friendly bands of warriors wander the landscape, giving advice and sometimes helping in combat, and the occasional town or settlement provides a safe spot to get down to crafting better gear. The wilds of Cube World are a massive series of lands filled with quests and exploration for the self-motivated adventurer, with the small disclaimer that each new area is the start of another quest to rise from what’s effectively level 1. Cube World is a cheerful blue-skied open-world action/RPG where you’re free to go in whichever direction catches your fancy at any time. Traveling is easy if you don’t mind walking, but at the start the character you create is incredibly weak. The game starts with a choice of race, gender, character class, and some options for designing just the right head, and then leaves you free to do whatever you’d like to do next. A big part of Cube World is figuring it out, which can be nice when you’ve got a few systems down and significantly less helpful at the start when there’s not a single hint as to how to deal with a land crawling with monsters that can take you apart in a few hits.
