'The only thing Death By Cube has to offer that its competition doesn’t is an excessive level of blood (or red robot oil), but that alone doesn’t warrant a purchase.'

'The sad truth is that there are better looking, better designed twin-stick shooters on the Indie Games channel for a fraction of the price, produced by inspired individuals who have moved on from Beat the Blockoids. Give them your Microsoft Points instead.'

'Death By Cube is an amateurish two-stick shooter with a lot of design flaws.'

'There are a lot of levels and unlockables to discover. Also, earning ranks and setting high scores could keep you busy for days. However, the multiplayer component is not well supported, and gameplay soon gets dull and repetitive.'

'Death by Cube has some great potential to achieve in a sequel; it’s just that right now there are some serious flaws that are holding it back from achieving commercial success. Did we mention that it soon becomes frustratingly, bang your head against the wall hard? DBC is fun for a good thirty minutes, and after that you are better off putting it down, which is not worth the 800 Microsoft Points ($10) to download. Just go for the trial version.'

'Death By Cube looks, plays, and feels like a community game, which makes the $10 price tag all the more upsetting. It’s generic, frustrating, and not really fun. I don’t see why you’d pick this up over Geometry Wars or any of the other twin-stick shooters out there.'

'Death by Cube is such a simple game, yet so much fun and so satisfying once you dig in to the upgrade systems.'
