About Cube Gothic
Cube Gothic is a horizontal side scrolling shoot 'em up game with strong adventure elements (relatively wordy dialogues, puzzles, mini-games). You take the role of a nameless undead demon fighting the surreal Dark Tower and the First vampire waiting for you at the top. Fight the ancient God and win a Pyrrhic victory.
Features:
- Hand-drawn graphics (with some pre-rendered 3D)
- Progressive Gothic-esque soundtrack
- Arcade style Action with balanced difficulty - can be hard, can be easy. Normal people can play it too!
- Yes, Normal people can play it too - instead of the old 3 lives you have 99 HP and med-kits flying at you occasionally.
- Unexpected puzzles!
- Organically integrated Mini games (side scrolling platformer, top-down perspective shoot 'em up, a mine-sweeper-like, etc...)
- 50+ Bestiary and other hazards
- A surreal story that makes sense.

The visuals, the art and the music are gorgeous, the story is interesting, but the hitboxes are bad. This is beyond artistic decisions in my opinion, is just bad game design. Nevertheless, a beautiful game I can't recommend.4 found this helpful
incredible art, bad gameplay, i recommend Angel at Dusk if you want a similarly esoteric but much better shmup gameplay experience, also the dev's most recent games use generative ai unfortunately2 found this helpful
I really like the art style. I think a couple of the puzzle solutions didn't make sense at the end, but it could just be low IQ on my part. It can be hard at times but nothing crazy; sometimes you end up with too little health to get through a floor, but you can just restart the game to go back a couple floors. The hitboxes were weird at times and the backwards text is just dumb lol. I have no idea how long it took because I left it on overnight to keep my progress. If the gameplay and art look interesting then I would recommend it.2 found this helpful
[h1]Euroshmup com visual enigmático belíssimo mas no final do dia ainda é apenas um euroshmup [Eng and Pt-Bre review][/h1] Jogo extremamente bonito e intrigante mas janky demais. Não adianta ser um jogo bonito ser no final é apenas um euroshmup. Todo o texto do jogo é escrio invertido e a fonte é estilizada demais para ler de forma eficiente, forçando o jogador a tirar prints e inverter a imagem no paint para tentar entender o plot do jogo (e o texto nem te ajuda muito a entender o que passa). Controles são bizarros, o jogo não se explica, a dificuldade é absurda e de forma injusta. Inimigos com hp enorme, seu hurtbox é gigante, seu tiro é apenas uma pequena linha na sua frente e fraco tornando o combate irritante (é melhor apenas tentar desviar de tudo), inimigos enchem a tela de tiros pequenos difíceis de enxergar nos fundos coloridos, o jogo salva ao final de cada fase, se você chegar no boss com pouco hp já era, pois ao morrer você renasce no boss com o mesmo hp que entrou na fase do boss. Eu queria muito gostar desse jogo, mas se for focar no visual e contar de histórias, talvez seja melhor usar um gameplay que não seja tão irritante, falho e punitivo ou simplesmente não t…2 found this helpful
