SudoKube Reviews

I'm not the best sudoku player, but this game showed me a different and relaxing way to try to solve sudokus, it's also possible to choose a more difficult way to solve it. Unfortunately I haven't completed any yet, but one day I will :D I recommend it!

This game really is just what it's advertised to be: Sudoku brought to the third dimension! It's more than a cube with a Sudoku puzzle on each side; the puzzles are interlocked so that rows, columns, and boxes on adjacent sides can also provide information about where a number might be. (Though I haven't played enough yet to know whether that additional information is necessary to solving the harder puzzles or not.) There are a few quality of life improvements I'd like to see, such as the ability to reset a botched in-progress puzzle with a single button or to undo a number placement so that previous notes are restored, but it sounds like some of this might be coming in the future. All in all, I definitely recommend this game. It's insane... in a good way!

Sudoku's are not my most favorite puzzle type - but the third dimension adds another level of elimination logic that i really enjoyed. The first level puzzles aren't really a challenge at all but it ramps up quickly, with the 4th level being a real bear. the notation assistance is super-helpful.

I enjoy sudoku and the idea of having a sudoku puzzle on each side of a cube and having the edges be apart of multiple sudokus at the same time is awesome! This game even features multiple cube sizes and difficulties with a torturous 16x16 cube as the top difficulty! However, what makes me not recommend this game is the absolutely insane lack of optimisation in this application. This game will gobble up your computer's resources like mad and will crash on occasion! It also lacks any real options menu, has a very boring bgm that you will likely mute after 30 minutes, no tutorial for people with less sudoku experience, no undo button, [b]the cubes are NOT generated randomly[/b] and you can only work on one cube at a time so if you're doing a 16x16 puzzle and want to do a quick 9x9/4x4 you're out of luck! The concept is great. The execution is terrible.

Liked the idea solving 6 Sudoku's at once, but it's poorly implemented. In order to solve 16x16 Sudoku I had to write everything to a paper then solve it, after that place each number to the game even like this game closed like 15-20 times. Definitely needs error fixes and QOL improvements. Changing camera tilting. Zooming. Undo button etc

Poorly optimized, no options, very basic, crashes a lot on the large cube.

Clever, engaging, and well-presented! Works great on Steam Deck: set the left touchpad to a radial menu w/ numbers.

This one immediately caught my eye and I bought it without hesitation. I have no regrets at all. This game is surprisingly a very pleasant Sudoku version. The developers are quite responsive and for example quickly responded by adding a music mute button which was nice so I could easily join discord while playing. I just finished the 4x4 after a couple of complete do-overs and probably got my best focus after my husband told me to give up 🙂). Even if no new big ones will be added, I'm pretty sure I will take a new attempt on the same one later. Finishing it felt really great. Now I can go for the rest of the achievements and why not, maybe for a nice spot on the leaderboard. Thumbs up. And I just love the clicking sounds 🙂

AVOID THIS. It looks exciting on the surface but it's all downhill from there. First and foremost: MISADVERTISEMENT. The game only features random sudoku generation for the laughably easy 2x2 mode. The 3x3 and 4x4 cubes are NOT generated randomly. The game only has 1 predefined cube per difficulty which gets cosmetically re-enumerated to fool you into thinking there's random generation. [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/etliqfq0ryggcob/C_loop.gif]This gif[/url] should explain it better. Basically there are no "infinite 3x3 puzzles" like the game advertises, you'll be doing the exact same deductions every time. So now that you understand that the game literally has only 3 puzzles allow me to bombard you with all the technical issues: - The game crashes every hour or two in 4x4 mode (wiping your progress since auto-save). - The fonts are TINY. In 4x4 it is extremely difficult to distinguish 8 and B, 6 and G etc. - There is no undo button!! Misinputs happen often and are always disastrous. - Forced keyboard controls. No virtual numpad for mouse-only play. It is natural that the 4x4 mode fonts become tiny and cluttered. BUT! - 3x3 mode runs at the same scale as 4x4 does. - Basically it's zoomed out, with most of screen space left unused. - You cannot rotate the cube freely. - You cannot zoom in or out either. - Cubes are titled downwards so that the lower numbers get barely visible. - You also see too much of the top surface which is not helpful or relevant. - Playing this game on a 15'' laptop is almost impossible, even in 3x3 mode!! P.S. That being said, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1953970/MATH_EXPRESSions/]Math Expressions[/url], a game from the same developer, is actually really good. It has a crappy payment structure (the game is "free" but you must buy the cheap "DLC" unlock to continue) but aside from that it's certainly worth the money.
