About this game
THAT AMAZING RTS FEEL
Cubic Annihilation is a fast, unforgiving RTS where every choice matters. No macro spam. No safety nets. Just sharp positioning, fast decisions, and raw tactical execution.
BUILD YOUR OWN FACTION
Before each match, craft your Loadout by choosing a unique mix of units, structures, and modifiers. Your choices define your entire strategy — no tech trees, no mid-match unlocks. Just pure RTS.
Plan ahead. Commit. Execute.
And hope your opponents didn’t blind-counter you. :D
WHAT DOMAIN WILL YOU MASTER?
Cubic Annihilation features 4 types of traversing the battlefield:
Ground units form the backbone of your army.
Air units bring mobility and constant pressure.
Sea units dominate aquatic maps with powerful long-range firepower.
Hovercraft can move across both land and sea, trading raw power for speed and flexibility.
CONQUER THE GALAXY
Jump into the world of Cubic Annihilation. Discover why you’re fighting, uncover what was taken from you, and take it back. Battle across hostile planets, complete dangerous missions, and claim powerful spoils to upgrade your loadout. The mercenaries won’t stop themselves — only you can bring them down… for good.
MULTIPLAYER
While multiplayer is not the 100% focus of Cubic Annihilation, you can still face off against other players in 1v1 or team-based multiplayer battles. Test your strategies, refine your loadouts, and stay sharp, because every match brings something new.
BATTLING VS AI
Jump into a 1v1 duel against the AI and sharpen your skills. Pick your challenge from four distinct difficulties — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Cheater. Start simple, push your limits, or face the ultimate unfair fight where the rules bend against you.
ARE YOU READY TO COMMAND YOUR CUBES?
Cubic Annihilation is a no-nonsense tactical RTS.
Massive army variety. Hard choices. No wasted moves.
Choose your loadout. Upgrade your units. Spend your resources — and outplay everyone.
