![]() ![]() In addition you can decide where the towers for each participant are, as well as the difficult and how many waves to challenge against. One round can be a capture the flag, then after that you can play a straight up tower defense game, followed by a territory-capture based mode. While this doesn’t seem like a lot, within each of these maps you can change the way the game plays. Outside of the campaign, Cubemen 2 comes pre-loaded with 20 maps for you to play on. There aren’t many of these new additions, but they really do shake up the game and add a lot of variety to the way you can tackle combat. You still have all the units that were present in the original game, but they are joined by a few new friends. You have to defend your tower from waves of oncoming enemies by placing your blocky-cube-men troops around the board and moving them tactically, or to use those same troops to capture more ground. The audio and visual style retains its minimalist charm, but now there is an opportunity for players to add skins over their normally bland levels, and to even change the colours of their cube-men.Ĭubemen 2 takes the same gameplay system of its predecessor and improves on it. ![]() Nothing is really taken out from the original, just added on and improved. As the old adage goes “if it aint broke, don’t fix it,” and that is certainly applicable to Cubemen 2. Cubemen 2 takes the tower defense/RTS gameplay of the original and expands on it with a few more units. $1.Platforms: iPhone, iPad (Reviewed On Both)Ĭubemen 2 is the sequel to the well-received Cubemen for iOS, Android and Steam platforms. On the other hand, if you’re an RTS fan who enjoys fast-paced challenges, you should by all means give this a try. Thus, if you’re the sort who prefers a more leisurely, strategic game, Cubemen 2 may not suit you. Neither can you pause the game to position troops. Those familiar with typical tower defense games should be aware that you won’t be given breathing time between waves to deploy your troops. IFanzine Verdict: If you enjoyed the original Cubemen, you’ll probably also have heaps of fun with Cubemen 2. So you theoretically have unlimited maps. But one terrific aspect of Cubemen 2 is the ability to design your own levels, as well as play levels others have created. This may not be the best tower defense game around. On the iPhone though, the soldiers are so tiny it won’t actually make that much of a difference to your enjoyment of the game (some built-in level themes look fairly decent compared to the plain unit colors). However, if you’re unwilling to pay for IAP unit skins or level themes, the regular unit colors and themes built into the game are far from exciting. It’s great that the game’s appearance can be customized. Personally, I find the graphics a letdown. Only two upgrades are possible for each soldier, which is on the poor side compared to the average tower defense game. However, with small cube figures to control, it can be a little too easy to sometimes accidentally misdirect your troops, even on the iPad. When time’s up, the team with the most painted tiles wins. You can, however, lose your colored tiles, so you’ll have to defend them. The latter involves a more unique gameplay: Each team’s troops will paint blocks in your team’s color by walking over them. These include Capture the Flag and Territory. Three additional types of games may be played in either single-player or multiplayer mode. In Rescue, you’ll have to protect civilians from enemy attack as they make a run for your base. ![]() In addition, you won’t have much breathing time before the waves start. ![]() The difference is you can move your soldiers and select targets. Your mission in the main campaign is to defend your base from enemy attacks, just as you would in a typical tower defense game. Like in its titular predecessor, you will command blocky soldiers on various maps built of blocks. If you’re familiar with real-time strategy or tower defense games, Cubemen 2 ( out now, $1.99), which blends both genres, will feel immediately intuitive to play. ![]()
