Cubic Odyssey casts players into a sprawling cubic universe threatened by the Red Darkness, an infection that mutates wildlife and consumes planets. The journey combines an unfolding galaxy-saving story with quests, forgotten-civilization mysteries, trading with NPCs, and battles against rogue pirates. Its planetary systems are presented as places to explore, not just backdrops: the description highlights living ecosystems, changing day-night cycles, NPC cities, pirate outposts, and dangerous ruins.
Resource gathering connects exploration to building and combat. Players mine and refine materials to craft tools, weapons, outposts, vehicles, and starships, while RPG-style progression offers skills, recipes, choices, and upgrades. Movement spans planetary speeders, vehicles, flight, and space travel, including warp jumps between systems. The central threat gives those activities a shared purpose: players can fight the infection and cleanse it, or allow it to spread.
The store lists single-player alongside multiplayer and co-op options, including online and LAN co-op. Cooperative play is described around taking on massive enemies, using orbital laser strikes, and constructing megastructures together.
