Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed survival campaign may find the open-ended structure too loose.
- Players wanting a focused combat game may find resource gathering and construction too prominent.
- Players looking for detailed realism may not want an island made entirely from cubes.
- Players seeking a non-survival role-playing game may find island survival too central.
Our take on Cube Island
Rather than placing survival in a naturalistic setting, the game builds its entire tropical island from cubes. Its construction system also replaces a fixed building path with player-created houses and castles.
What is Cube Island?
Explore a tropical island made entirely from cubes in this survival game.
Choose a character, gather resources, search treasure chests, and look for rare materials. Predatory animals and cannibals threaten the island, while shelters provide protection. The open world features world generation and changing times of day. Combat includes firearms and bladed weapons, with varied enemies and wild animals encountered during exploration. A construction and resource management system supports structures ranging from small houses to large castles. The game combines island exploration, survival, combat, treasure hunting, resource gathering, and player-directed building.
