Darkest Cube

Darkest Cube is a turn-based strategy game with deckbuilding and RPG systems, set in the dark fantasy world of Kryom. You explore the land and try to seal mysterious Dark Cubes, which appear across the world and unleash creatures that threaten humanity. As you progress, you uncover the Cubes’ origins and question whether humanity may be responsible. Darkness causes chaos and seems to affect the Cubes; investigating it can reveal more about its nature.

Build and adapt your deck

Each class has over 60 cards and three major archetypes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. You can remove cards easily and regularly adjust your deck in cities. During a run, a limited Side Deck of preselected cards lets you make further changes. Some cards that seem weak can become powerful at higher levels, and success depends on knowing when to shift your strategy.

Fight and develop

In turn-based battles, you choose which cards to play each turn, manage your energy and respond to enemies’ distinct behaviors and abilities. You can also upgrade equipment that directly affects your abilities, collect body parts from defeated enemies to brew potions, and spend skill points after leveling up on a skill tree that directly affects the strength of all your cards. The game is brutally difficult at its highest difficulty, where surviving a run requires adapting your strategy multiple times.

Challenges and story

Each victory unlocks new challenges. You can face the Cubes again in harder Cycles and higher difficulty levels, develop your skill tree to its maximum potential, explore Kryom and uncover the ending of Thalameia’s story. Multiple Ascension levels raise the challenge further, changing the experience from a roguelite into a roguelike where death is final and each failed run sends you back to the beginning of the challenge.
