Cube Gothic

A unique 2D shooter game with cool art style. The difficulty is a little bit hard, and some puzzle is hard to solve,not to mention you have to dodge the bullet in the same time. Still, I think it's a fun game. Music and art book is free on developer's blog, which is quite nice.

While the theme and music is great the game is difficult for no reason and solutions that don't make sense I really wanted to like this game.

Cube Gothic is, for the most part, a SHMUP. It's demanding but not overly hard IF you are into the genre. If you are not then you may have a hard time progressing. You have infinite lives, so some old school stubbornness and memorization will help you get through some parts. It's also sprinkled with some puzzles and a little action/platforming(just one boss is fought this way). The story is intriguing, with very loose nods to old Castlevania titles. The art style is dark and creepy. Reminds me a little bit of Giger. It has great music and a beautifully dark atmosphere. It's not for everyone. That's for sure! But if you are into videogames as an art form AND you have some SHMUP skill, then I would easily recommend to give it a try.
