About the Game

Cubed and Dangerous is a challenging twin-stick action roguelike shooter that seamlessly merges elements of Action RPG build-crafting with the thrill of perma-death roguelike gameplay. Recruit new procedurally generated heroes by completing campaign runs, all based off of the 14 unlockable character classes in the game. Grow your collection, cultivate massive power, and take on the cumulative challenge modes or the Infinite Desert.


Collect a massive arsenal of items and weapons that use a procedurally generated augmentation system, where no two items will ever be the same.

Upgrade your best gear even further at the Forge as you constantly shift and change your build to face the challenges ahead.


Acquire powerful game-warping relic items by defeating capstone act bosses, each presenting unique gameplay behaviors and challenges. Bosses have unique weak points and disadvantages to discover and exploit as you refine your skills.


Chart your path through the overworld, choosing risk/reward as you see fit. Choosing higher danger in your path results in access to more drops and collectables; but push your luck too far and you could face an untimely end. Find towns along the way for a relaxing reprieve and some helpful upgrades.


Unlock challenge modes, characters, items and more, ensuring endless replayability. Create a strong enough build and you can take on the Infinite Desert and push it to its limits.
