Gameplay Mechanics
The core gameplay features a deck-building system where players select card sets based on enemies, class, and other factors, with turn-based combat focused on energy management and card synergies. Players progress through levels, facing enemies and challenges to fulfill quests. The goal is to seal the cubes by uncovering their secrets. Progression is driven by a skill tree and strategic deck management.
Features
In Darkest Cube, players explore Kyrom and its mysterious cubes, battling dark creatures and uncovering ancient magic. The game blends deck-building with turn-based combat, emphasizing energy management and synergies. Players navigate branching levels both inside and outside the cubes, encountering enemies, elite fights, merchants, and loot while striving to seal the cubes and end the chaos.Each challenge starts with a customizable deck, based on class, defeated enemies, and collected cards. A skill tree allows strategic progression, while a Side Deck enables mid-game adaptability. Outside the cubes, true permadeath raises the stakes, but within, players can retry challenges while facing unique mechanics like shifting rooms or intensified poison. A dynamic world with quests and evolving narratives ensures every playthrough feels fresh.For Kickstarter backers, additional features include a Cube Creator Mode for designing and sharing levels and a co-op multiplayer option to tackle the toughest cubes together.
New Deckbuilding
The balancing of deck size and abilities can be adjusted frequently compared to other deck-builders, which in addition to the high difficulty of the game allows players to adapt. Two new mechanics are a key to this new feeling:
- Firstly: The Side Deck provides the flexibility to temporarily include or exclude cards from the main deck, allowing players to adapt their strategy based on the situation.
- Secondly: Instead of growing your deck slowly from a predefined set of cards, you can choose your starting cards for each challenge. You will unlock new cards during your missions in Kryom the world of Darkest Cube.
Sometimes you need cards from other classes for a new challenge? No problem change your class mid game like in Dark Souls - sometimes it's even necessary or ...

Lore
Mysterious floating cubes have long puzzled Kyrom — until dark creatures began emerging from them, spreading chaos. Some say human greed disrupted the balance, unleashing war and destruction. Choose one of five adventurers, each with unique abilities, to uncover the cubes’ secrets. In the world, death is final, but within the cubes, some warriors are granted immortality by Hekate, goddess of the underworld. Can the cubes be sealed once more, or is their darkness unstoppable?
