Hello im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review. In this episode I check out the new Post Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Platformer called The Cub. This game was developed by Demagog Studio and is published by Gamersky Games, who ive covered several games for previously including Greedland, Anthology Of Fear and Hellslave.

The Cub is a Pseudo Sequel to Golf Club Nostalgia, a Golfing Game set in the far future and takes place in the same universe. The earth has been ravaged by an event known as the Great Ecological Catastrophe, which wiped out most of humanity, resulting in an exodus of mankind to Mars. The player takes control of The Cub, a young boy left behind on a transformed earth, adapting to survive its dangerous conditions. When the Martians send a scouting party to earth with the goal of recolonisation, they quickly discover the cub and begin a hunt to capture him in order to determine how to survive the earths poisonous atmosphere. Thus begins a frantic chase across the ruins of earth, with the Cubs agility and cunning pitted against the Martians superior technology

The Cub is a fast paced platforming adventure, with platforming, exploration and stealth, taking the story from Golf Club Nostalgia and expanding upon it with new characters and lore. While the game is a little too short, it is very well priced and is complemented with a fantastic soundtrack and art style.

================================================

Inspired By the Classics, Made for the 21st Century
Challenging platform parkour inspired by classic SEGA games of the 90s - The Jungle Book, Aladdin, Lion King – but with modern twists and ideas. Platform parkour through the remains of humanity. Outwit evolved wildlife and dangerous hybrid flora. Crack environmental puzzles that keep you guessing. And stay one step ahead of the wicked humans who are pursuing you in a twisted apocalyptic safari hunt.

The Story of a Hunted Cub
After the Great Ecological Catastrophe, the ultrarich flee to Mars and leave the rest to perish. But among them a small child who developed immunity to the hostile planet remains. Decades pass and those on Mars venture back to Earth to do recon. When they spot a small human child, The Cub, they immediately try to capture it. This sets off a journey of escape, exploration and discovery through the urban ruins of humanity coupled with frantic cat and mouse chases.

This World Tells Tales
Explore the ruins of humanity after the Great Ecological Catastrophe wipes out most of the civilization and leaves our remains to be reclaimed by an evolved mother nature. The story and clues of how and why humanity fell is strewn throughout the world. Crumbling brutalist tower blocks and abandoned genetics labs. Depleted chemical mines and overgrown battlefields. Each level has a story to tell.

The Perfect Tunes to Keep You Company
Accompanying you on the journey is Radio Nostalgia From Mars, a custom soundtrack that’ll crash land into your psyche. Sink into thought-provoking survivor stories from the few ultrarich living on Mars, while a smooth-voiced radio DJ keeps the show moving with a collection of chill apocalypse-wave tunes.

If Looks Could Bring Back Memories
Meticulously drawn and stylized to look like the classic animated films of the late 90s - Atlantis, Tarzan, Road to El Dorado - while also taking a page from Samurai Jack’s creator Genndy Tartakovsky critically acclaimed series, Primal.
