On the other hand, if you’re an RTS fan who enjoys fast-paced challenges, you should by all means give this a try. Summary: Cubemen is a fast paced, action packed, original 3D Tower Defense game that mixes TD with RTS in single player & online multi-player awesomeness Get ready for some crazy Cubemen action It’s the age old struggle between Good vs Bad, Blue vs Red, Little men vs Little men. Thus, if you’re the sort who prefers a more leisurely, strategic game, Cubemen 2 may not suit you. Neither can you pause the game to position troops. Those familiar with typical tower defense games should be aware that you won’t be given breathing time between waves to deploy your troops. IFanzine Verdict: If you enjoyed the original Cubemen, you’ll probably also have heaps of fun with Cubemen 2. So you theoretically have unlimited maps. But one terrific aspect of Cubemen 2 is the ability to design your own levels, as well as play levels others have created. This may not be the best tower defense game around. On the iPhone though, the soldiers are so tiny it won’t actually make that much of a difference to your enjoyment of the game (some built-in level themes look fairly decent compared to the plain unit colors). However, if you’re unwilling to pay for IAP unit skins or level themes, the regular unit colors and themes built into the game are far from exciting. It’s great that the game’s appearance can be customized. Personally, I find the graphics a letdown. Only two upgrades are possible for each soldier, which is on the poor side compared to the average tower defense game. However, with small cube figures to control, it can be a little too easy to sometimes accidentally misdirect your troops, even on the iPad.

When time’s up, the team with the most painted tiles wins. You can, however, lose your colored tiles, so you’ll have to defend them. The latter involves a more unique gameplay: Each team’s troops will paint blocks in your team’s color by walking over them. These include Capture the Flag and Territory. Three additional types of games may be played in either single-player or multiplayer mode. In Rescue, you’ll have to protect civilians from enemy attack as they make a run for your base. In addition, you won’t have much breathing time before the waves start. The difference is you can move your soldiers and select targets. Your mission in the main campaign is to defend your base from enemy attacks, just as you would in a typical tower defense game. Like in its titular predecessor, you will command blocky soldiers on various maps built of blocks. In the end, it seems like nothing more than an attempt to make a quick buck by re-releasing a game that we have already played.If you’re familiar with real-time strategy or tower defense games, Cubemen 2 ( out now, $1.99), which blends both genres, will feel immediately intuitive to play. Sadly, this notion is ruined by the ridiculous micro transactions. Cubemen 2 feels like a small game made by a small team, that is fairly entertaining but mostly a learning experience for the team behind it, while also making a bit of money on the side. It's a shame this level of customization is missing from the character level skins themselves. The functionality would be painfully easy, and it would make the game more enjoyable. This game would be better suited with allowing custom imported character and level skins. I can *maybe* understand buying one or two things, but just barely. I can't see many people buying any of these, and even less buying all of them. There is no reason a game like this should have any micro transactions, let alone $20-30 worth. I have only one major gripe with the game, and that is the micro transactions. It is somewhat fun, but it is browser-flash-game style fun, not $8 fun.

I would only purchase this game during a sale, as anything more than $5 isn't really worth it. I also didn't notice any of the bugs present in the original, but most of them involved the multiplayer feature, which I haven't tried yet. That said, the gameplay is just as simple as before, with a few minor changes. That said, the gameplay is just as simple as It's certainly an improvement over the original, as far as visual audio appeal and fluidity.
