Cube World is fast turning into my most anticipated indie game. Scratch that it’s turning into my most anticipated game period. You guys have seen me gush quite a few times in the last week or so over Cube World’s aesthetics and the gameplay. Today, we’re gonna talk about the new Spirit System which allows you to upgrade your weapons with finishing moves.

Here is Wollay’s explanation of the system:

You can upgrade your weapons not only with iron cubes (which increase the base damage) but also with spirit cubes. These cubes begin to glow when your spirit increases.

When you perform a finishing move, their power is unleashed: fire spirit deals additional fire damage, unholy spirit drains life from the enemy and heals you by a small amount.

Spirits will be very rare and most likely be dropped by bosses. I’m planning to add more spirit types soon.

As you can see on the screenshots the spirit cubes are really just brightly colored cubes with which you can physically place on your items. The video does a great job showing this off as well as showing off a bit of the general weapon customization.

Anyway, enjoy the screenshots and the video. As always, we’ll be monitoring Cube World closely as development chugs along.
