The Last Cube Gets PC and Console Release Date

I love a good puzzle game. Brain-teasers and things that challenge me to think outside the box are some of my favorite ways to relax. Improx Games’ The Last Cube caught my attention last year when it was announced, and now a release date has finally been announced.

The Last Cube will release on PC and consoles on March 10^th. The Creative Director, Max Samarin, commented by saying: “The Last Cube has come a long way since its inception in 2017 and has grown into a far more ambitious project than we ever could have imagined.

The final result is a rich puzzle experience whose gameplay is full of joyful aha-moments and surprises, set in very diverse, colorful, eerie, and mysterious environments of the Cube Planet. We think casual and hardcore puzzle fans alike will be enamored by its gradually evolving mechanics and wealth of secrets when The Last Cube launches on March 10th.”

If you aren’t aware of what The Last Cube is, here is what the press release has to say about the upcoming puzzle adventure. “The Last Cube is a richly atmospheric puzzle game about guiding a cube through a plethora of mystifying, monolithic chambers as you uncover the story behind this peculiar world. Explore a wide array of brutalist architecture ranging from foggy nightmarish abysses, to oppressive lava-lit factories, to uplifting natural landscapes full of golden rays of sunshine glistening against mountains.

Coupled with an epic soundtrack that thoroughly enriches the ominous vibe, and an abstract story of a dying world on the cusp of ruin, The Last Cube is a moody, mysterious puzzler that fully immerses you in its derelict world. The Last Cube features a unique sticker system, allowing you to stamp certain abilities onto your cube’s sides, granting all-new abilities for that surface. Some will allow you to dash through barriers, others will create makeshift stairs, and some grant the ability to spin in place for easy maneuvering in tight places.

Positioning your cube to acquire the desired stickers on the correct surface can range from pleasingly simplistic, to masochistic head-scratchers as you scramble through The Last Cube’s 100+ puzzles. New mechanics are introduced at a breezy clip, rapidly expanding one’s perception of what your cube is capable of.

Clamoring through each chamber offers a sturdy challenge, though only the most dedicated players will uncover all of The Last Cube’s bevy of collectibles and bonus stages littered throughout the adventure. Do you have what it takes to solve the puzzle tracks left by your ancestors and save this peculiar world from collapsing?”

The sticker mechanic is an interesting new idea that might change things up from the usual puzzle concepts presented in these sorts of games. The Last Cube looks visually striking as well, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the various environments change gameplay. We won’t have long to wait for The Last Cube to release, and luckily it is coming out on all platforms at once, so everyone can experience it together.
