Minecraft + WoW = Cube World
/
What do you get when you have the art style of Minecraft, The Legend of Zelda, and something like World of Warcraft? You get Cube World.
I'm not going to say much about the game since the fan made trailer pretty much speaks for itself. I will, however, share the Extended Cube World FAQ from the creator's blog since it pretty much answers all the questions I had about this game.
