Cube World, which has been in development since June 2011, is an action role-playing-game for the PC. In Cube World, the player explores an endless procedurally generated 'voxel-like' world. This world contains randomly generated dungeons, including underground caverns and over-world castles, as well as separate biomes including grasslands, snow-lands, deserts, and oceans. Players can use items such as hang gliders and boats to traverse the world more quickly.
Players can create multiple characters, with character creation, which involves the player first choosing a race then customizing the look of the character. The player then chooses one of four classes: warrior, rogue, ranger, or mage. The world is populated with monsters and creatures which can be killed for experience, which results in stronger statistics and abilities and allows players to choose specializations which best suit their in-game aims. These specialization choices include warriors being able to choose between focusing on damage or defensive abilities, or mages focusing on damage or healing abilities. Players can also tame animals, such as sheep or turtles, which fight alongside them, or, in some cases, can be ridden by them to travel more quickly.
Crafting is also a part of the game; it allows players to create food, potions, weapons, and armor, as well as add voxels to their existing weapons block by block in order to create aesthetically unique weapons.
