Think about Minecraft crossed with No Man’s Sky and also you’re a lot of the means there, it appears.
In Cubic Odyssey, you may crashland on a distant planet, and you may want to assemble sources in an effort to craft your self a base that will help you survive, in addition to a car to doubtlessly get you away from the planet and into the reaches of area.

The story of the sport includes you (and, optionally, your folks, since Cubic Odyssey additionally affords co-op play) placing a cease to a “spreading galactic an infection” recognized solely because the Purple Darkness.
The 2 studios are promising the flexibility to basically strategy Cubic Odyssey nonetheless you want; you can tackle “numerous quests” supplied by a variety of NPCs, discover “harmful ruins” and “underground caves”, and wander by way of “bustling NPC cities”.

Gaijin founder Anton Yudintsev says the purpose right here is to “help the creativity of indie recreation builders”. He says he and his crew are “thrilled by the scope and ambition” of Cubic Odyssey.
For his half, in the meantime, Atypical CEO Andrei Lopata says the purpose with the sport is to “construct a boundless open world” during which “each planet, each system, and each second is yours to form”. Them’s huge guarantees, Andrei.
