Cubemen is a fairly simple but charming real-time strategy game, set in a world of cubes. Each Cubeman has his own strengths, weaknesses, and pricetag, but all serve to dominate the enemy and protect your base.
But if for nothing else, get this game for its soundtrack.

One of my all time favorites, no doubt 'bout it! Haven't played it in a bit, getting back to it and I realize what I've been missing. A great action/tower defense game. Although, the player base is kinda dead, real shame. But if you've got some friends (you do have friends right..?) get them together and hop into an online match. Its that simple foo!
But for-real, this game is def worth the few $ it costs, and the developers (based off their interaction on the forums) are real peeps, support em!

Yet another tower defense game. Cubemen has no upgradeable towers. Instead of towers you use cubemen (duh). They are put on cube blocks and can actually move around freely. But they're not upgradeable. During my playtime it came down to spamming enough men to kill the incoming enemy forces. There were very little tactics involved.
There's a bit of fun to be had, I guess. I just expected more strategy from a tower defense game.

It's very simple. A tower defense game that has nearly zero challenge. Most of the time you can just rush to the enemy spawn point and win the game easily. The game offers a cross-platform multiplayer which is dead and its probably because the balance problem. Not worth anymore its dead.

The game looks nice, but it isn't balanced well. It falls into the classic strategy game trap where often the best strategy is to spawn a bunch of weak units and quickly surround the enemy base before they're able to do anything. Once you figure out this strategy, you win. The enemy has no way to counter it.

Now, while I partially agree with a lot of the negative reviews (especially the ones mentioning how simple the game really is), I'm heavily biased and believe that they might be too harsh, and by that point perhaps incorrect.
I really love this game, especially since I used to have it on my mother's Kindle Fire back when I was really young!
I honestly think the game is underrated, but I say you should take a look at Cubemen 2, which has most of the same + more. If there's one unifying factor between the games though, it's the absolutely amazing soundtrack. It's worth a listen!
Also, to the people complaining about the multiplayer's lack of...well, multiple players...this game is from early 2012 and has a very small playerbase to begin with. Always consider that!
tl;dr: It's an "acquired taste" kind of game. It's very simple and may not be worth $4 to you, but it's charming and has a great OST. I suggest Cubemen 2, though!
A good review to read would be the top overall one by Aro!

I grabbed a two-pack of licenses while the game was on sale a few years ago, as my brother and I live across the country from each other and wanted a few more games in common in our libraries to play together. Honestly, I'd have paid the full $6 for the two-pack. For a basic tower defense game, this is pretty good. There's not really a story, so I'll look at graphics, gameplay and sound.
The game has several modes and modifiers for each of those modes. There's a basic tower defense mode, a skirmish mode and a mayhem mode. To date, I have limited experience with the skirmish and mayhem modes, as the online multiplayer is essentially dead (my guess is everyone moved to Cubemen 2). The only time I get to play online these days is when my brother is actually online. Single-player tower defense is a blast, though. There's a wide array of maps, with user-created maps available for download. You can customize player/team colors, views (top down or 3D), and play speed. They give you a decent selection of troops. At the end of each round, you're graded with a complete breakdown of what happened and awarded a medal indicating how you did--bronze, silver, gold and platinum. (Gameplay 3/5)
Graphics are pretty basic. You're cubes. You're collecting cubes. Maps range from somewhat interesting to downright boring, and it's honestly sometimes difficult to tell your units apart. Fortunately, though, the lack of sophistication in graphics means the game will run on a coffee maker! (1/5)
Hands down, the best part of the game is the soundscape. Sound effects are interesting, the music is amazing, and you always know what's going on based on what you hear. The soundtrack alone is worth picking the game up around the 50% off mark. (5/5)
The main downside is the achievements may be difficult to 100% without boosting. At $3 a license, though, it shouldn't be too difficult to grab a few copies for friends and organize a game night. (3/5)

Could not find a reason to like this game. It is a simple tower defense game, without a theme or story. Tried three times to get into this game, but there was just nothing there for me to enjoy. It was so bland! Maybe not my type of game.
Someone spent a lot of time making this very polished, decent sound effects, and it has a three-dimensional appearance, so it may appeal to fans of the TD-style, at discount. Maybe this is a fun game to play head-to-head?
Technically, I played this on ubuntu 18.10 with radeon mesa graphic drivers. Cubemen uses the Unity game engine.

Cubemen is a strategy tower defense game, where you and your army of cubes defend the enemy forces from taking over you base.
I had 100+ hours on my phone, so I have experience beyond Steam.
Pros:
-Easy gameplay
-Addictive
-Great soundtrack
-Easy controls
-Custom skins for cubes and levels
-Hilarious
-Fairly Quick gameplay
-Different gamemodes
-Easy to develop strategies
Cons:
-Not many people play it anymore
-Singleplayer can get pretty boring after a while
- no storymode (but the second game has one)
- When you develop a strategy, if becomes repetive and boring.
I will reccomend this game, but I'd reccomend you either gift or get your friends to buy it as well so you can
play together so it won't get as boring as quick. But if your looking for a fungame to last you a couple days, I'd also reccomend it.
7.5/10
