On April 18 MIXI, the developers behind Monster Strike and Tower of Sky, teased a new game project with the website and Twitter tag “MM Paradox”, and today it’s been revealed that the game is actually called Cubic Stars!
Cubic Stars is a spin-off game based on the Monster Strike IP, and in this game, the various characters and monsters of Monster Strike have been sucked into a Pandora’s box! To try to rescue them, the remaining characters created two spaceships to dive deep into the box, which is turning other monsters into cubes!
The game is described as a simple-to-control multiplayer game where you control a character standing on top of a moving platform, shooting at enemies using the phone’s Gyroscope. The game features game modes with up to four players, letting you enjoy this casual shooting game alone, or with friends!
Cubic Stars is currently also running a Twitter follower campaign, with cumulative rewards that grant all players up to 50 free gacha rolls on launch, and it only needs 30,000 followers to reach that goal!

▍Cubic Stars Worldview
One day within the world of Monster Strike, Pandora’s box suddenly opened up by itself, sucking in various monsters and characters from the Monster Strike world, before closing itself!
Worried for all of their friends, the remaining team of characters including Pandora, Nostradamus, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, and Solomon decides they have to investigate, but doing so by opening the box themselves will cause them to also get sucked in. To make sure they can enter the box without a hitch, they decide they’ll need to create spaceships to enter!
After much planning, discussions, and sharing of ideas, the team manages to create two ships! To gather information on the insides of the box, the first team is sent out to gather intel, while the second team remains at the base to relay information and support.
After the first team enters the box, they relay that many of the monsters are missing, and in their place are these cubes shaped just like them, but they can’t move, suddenly the transmission from team 1 is suddenly cut!
With nothing else to lose and a mystery waiting to be discovered, the remaining team decides to also dive into the box to save their friends and bring everyone back to the world of Monster Strike, and so begins a new grand adventure!
