IncGamers' Tim McDonald gets to grips with Square's forthcoming top-down shooter, Project Cube.
One of the more unusual offerings at E3 was Project Cube, an Xbox Live Arcade title developed by Square Enix. It's not a puzzle game, based on an existing franchise, or a RPG.
Project Cube shares more in common with dual analog stick shooters like Robotron and Geometry Wars than it does with Dragon Quest. You move with the left stick and fire laser beams with the right stick. When one of the cubes dies it explodes into a pile of blood. How… postmodern.
Square first revealed Project Cube (the working title), an Xbox Live Arcade-exclusive twin-stick shooter modeled after classic titles like Robotron, back in late April. The game uses a clean, monochrome aesthetic for the little protagonist and the various humanoid and robot enemies, but just wait 'til you kill one -- a giant red spatter covers the game board, and each successive kill only further manages to bloody up the screen.
IncGamers' Tim McDonald gets to grips with Square's forthcoming top-down shooter, Project Cube.
"Project Cube is the working title for an Xbox Live Arcade game in production. It plays out like Robotron or Geometry Wars, with an enclosed arena and a top-down view, and a lot of enemies. And blood. Lots of blood."
