A free real-time strategy game in your browser
Cube Corps is a block-built real-time strategy game for phone and desktop. Build a base, send harvesters out for ore, train an army of tanks, jets and ships, and out-think an enemy commander. It runs in the browser: no download, no account, nothing to pay.
What you do
Build a base
Construction Yard, power, refineries, barracks, a war factory, an airstrip, a helipad and a naval yard. Seventeen buildings, with power to manage and defences to place.
Mine the ore
Harvesters gather ore and rarer gems to pay for everything. Fields grow back slowly, so who holds them matters.
Command an army
22 units on land, sea and air: infantry, engineers, medics, mechanics, heavy and laser tanks, artillery, drones, gunships, strike jets, destroyers and submarines. Units gain ranks as they fight, aircraft refuel and repair at base, and mechanics keep your tanks running.
Beat the commander
Four enemy personalities (balanced, rusher, turtle and raider) on three difficulties. They gather squads, focus fire, retreat when outgunned and rebuild what you destroy.
Game modes
| Skirmish | Your base against an enemy commander, one against one or up to four sides, every side for itself. Destroy every enemy building to win. Wins on the Classic map count for the leaderboard. |
|---|---|
| Survival | No enemy base. Hold out against bigger and bigger waves for as long as you can. |
A world that reacts
Every map is different: random maps in three sizes, or the Classic map, with a landscape of your choosing (mixed, countryside, urban or wild). Rivers cut across them and the bridges can be blown up, dropping whatever is on them into the water; engineers can rebuild them. Towns have houses, car parks, petrol stations and traffic that stops at the lights. Farms have fields, barns and cows. Fire spreads through trees, and there is day, night, rain and snow.
How to play
On a phone
- Drag to move the map; pinch to zoom; twist with two fingers to turn the view.
- Tap a unit to select it. Hold, then drag, to box-select. Double-tap a unit to select all of its type.
- Tap the ground to move, or an enemy to attack. The order bar adds guard, patrol, attack-move and hold.
- Pause any time with the pause button: you can still give orders while the game is stopped.
On a desktop
- Left-click to select, drag to box-select, right-click to move or attack.
- Arrow keys or WASD move the map; Q and E turn it. G guard, P patrol, F attack-move, H hold, X stop.
- Ctrl and 1 to 4 saves a control group; 1 to 4 picks it again. Space pauses; plus and minus change the speed.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy and no account to make.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It is made for phones as much as desktops, and you can add it to your home screen as an app.
Can I play offline?
Yes. Once it has loaded, the installed app plays without a connection. Only the leaderboard needs one.
Does it save?
Yes. Your game saves itself every minute and when you leave, and Continue picks it up again.
Is there multiplayer?
Not yet. Every game is against the computer for now.
