Cubes 2 is Hacksaw Gaming’s 2022 follow-up to their original Cubes title, and it does what a good sequel should — it keeps what worked and raises the stakes. The fantasy-tinged visual style returns, but the underlying mechanics have been sharpened to push the max win potential higher and give the bonus features more room to breathe.

This is a cluster pays game, meaning there are no traditional paylines. Instead, groups of matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically form winning clusters. Bets run from €0.20 to €100, keeping the range broad. The fantasy aesthetic is clean and geometric — cube symbols in vivid colours, a design language that feels deliberate rather than generic.

The centrepiece of Cubes 2 is the introduction of X-Cube wilds, which expand the cluster-forming possibilities and create bigger chain reactions than the original allowed. The enhanced sequel mechanic means the bonus round has more potential for those extended run combinations that cluster pays games live and die by. The Bonus Buy feature is available for players who want direct access to the cube bonus without grinding through the base game.

RTP sits at 96.32% and volatility is very high — the highest tier on the scale. That is not a casual spin experience; sessions can be dry spells punctuated by large hits. The maximum win of 5,000x your stake reflects that profile. Players should expect variance and size their bankroll accordingly.

Cubes 2 is a solid choice for cluster pays fans who already know what they are getting into with very high volatility. The X-Cube wild upgrade makes it feel meaningfully different from its predecessor. Best suited to players comfortable with swings who are chasing the upper end of the pay range.
