The controls make the grade, with the stylus used to manipulate units on screen and rotate the camera in conjunction with the analog stick and shoulder buttons. If you’re a fan of the genre, there’s something for you in Cubemen 2.There are two small “campaigns” (really just pre-defined sets of 15 stages each) and unlimited ways to play single games, either online or off. In addition, the game allows you to create and share your own levels, play online with players on other platforms (iOS, for example), and reskin the visuals in dozens of different ways. The game offers nearly every flavor of RTS available in both single and online multiplayer fashion. It’s immediately easy to be impressed with the breadth of options in Cubemen 2. Although it might best be described as a tower defense game, being able to control individual units, as well as modes such as King of the Hill and Territory, make this a fleshed out real-time strategy experience. This would be a mistake Cubemen 2 is one of the best Wii U-exclusive eShop games. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if most gamers skip over it without a second glance. The cover art in the Wii U eShop doesn’t really say much about the game. Cubemen 2 Review, 7.Cubemen 2 is not a particularly self-descriptive game. In fact some levels are constructed in such a fashion that at the start players must move the cubemen to defend multiple sides. This will never happen in Cubemen 2 as it is possible to move the towers or the cubemen themselves, to where ever you want. Usually the only way to remedy this is to sell the tower often resulting in a loss of points. It gets accidentally placed or just generally not put in the optimum position. Playing a tower defence game and with enough points to buy one of the best towers, then the worst thing possible happens. There are plenty of themes to pick from which furthers the variation possible. Created levels can be instantly played and upload for others in the community. These new levels add endless replay to the title, as players will always have the ability to play a brand new level. As with many games where a level editor is included, the community has got behind the feature and made some extremely interesting and fun levels. The level editor is extremely simple to use and within no time at all players can build and start playing their new levels. It adds another element into the gameplay where the player has to time their attacks to win. Capture The Flag is my personal favourite, with players having to judge when to send Chuck, the only unit that can grab enemy flags, and when to defend. For both singleplayer and multiplayer there are three other modes to choose from Skirmish, Capture The Flag and Territory. Rescue sees players trying to get people safely back to their base and is an unusual twist on the usual gameplay. For single player there is both the typical defence and a new Rescue mode. It may be a tower defence game, but defending a single base is not all that Cubemen 2 offers. The explosions and pops go alongside this theme seamlessly creating a solid presentation. Nothing breaks the visual experience, with everything from the maps and the men to the blood effects being made from cubes. This is certainly not a bad thing, since it has a pleasant presentation, which is both simplistic and colourful. Not much has changed in terms of the visuals from the original Cubemen game. Let’s look at what’s HOT and what’s NOT in our review of Cubemen 2. However, will it be defending itself against a bad review score or will it be the one game to put tower defences back on the map? Gameplay isn’t limited to just defending in Cubemen 2, since new modes like attacking and flag capturing on the menu.
