Voxile isn’t the easiest game to review. On one hand, it is an adventure endeavour in a wonderful and random voxel world. On the other hand, there is crafting freedom and plenty of creative license. I spent very little time in the latter mode, but I can see it taking over your life. Instead, I focused on the micro stories and the madness that unfolds.
Vox Ray Games Inc. developed and published this voxel adventure title. Moreover, it can be enjoyed alone or with others online. I spent my time as a lone adventurer. However, I reckon some online madness would enhance the action and cause wonderful but unnecessary arguments.
Voxile tells plenty of silly stories.
Voxile doesn’t focus on one plot. Instead, there is a central theme and plenty of unique backdrops and characters to see. What’s more, there is loads of fighting, plenty of destruction, and so much crafting that you won’t know what to do.
As you explore each scenario, you are met with a random world and plenty of obstacles to overcome. Moreover, people don’t trust you, and this can lead to some weird and whacky moments. Each scenario is loaded with missions to complete and loads of blocks to smash to smithereens. This classic voxel approach will appeal to destructive kids and lovers of Minecraft.
A bit buggy.
The single-player mode relies on plenty of quests to guide your journey. This is great in theory, but it can be tough to find every item, and I swear that glitches and bugs prevented key objects from spawning. This issue was prevalent when I was searching for flowers and a few NPCs. No matter how hard I looked, the items or people could never be found.
These bugs were infuriating as they stopped me from progressing. Luckily, though, you can skip through scenarios, and this overcomes this annoying hurdle. I would like the developer to iron these issues out as these game-breaking bugs undermine an otherwise fun game.
Despite the bugs, exploration and combat are fun. Guns, wood, and swords may be used to mame your foes. What’s more, you can cook food, craft items, and heal yourself with health packs. The layers of creativity were great, and I applaud the large arsenal of items that can be crafted.
Voxile looks amazing.
Voxel games have come on in leaps and bounds. Voxile looks amazing, and I was blown away by the crisp worlds and the varied backdrops. The water looks inviting, and the bioluminescent plants were amazing. Moreover, the monsters are nicely varied and hacking them to pieces was an enjoyable experience.
The audio is a mixed bag. Some of the sound effects are annoying, and the loud and often abrupt sound effects were uncomfortable to hear. However, I like the soundtrack and the good ambient sounds.
Good controls.
Despite the large destructive world, Voxile is remarkably easy to play. The UI is simple to master, and every tool is well-explained. Subsequently, making progress is pretty easy and mastering the controls is easier still.
If you have a creative edge, you will lose hours to the built-in editor. Furthermore, if you have a great group of friends, you could create a world and make a utopia. Alternatively, the impressive pre-made missions will keep you busy for hours.
Voxile is good, despite the bugs.
The bugs and glitches left a bad taste. Yet, this shouldn’t put you off. These problems will get ironed out, and the hindrance is worth the reward. Visually, Voxile is amazing to look at. What’s more, the missions are fun, and the monsters deserve to be killed. Accordingly, though it is an Early Access game, I recommend buying it here! Can you complete every mission or create a world to call your own? Master every element, avoid the monsters, and observe a stunning voxel world.
