KUBO 3 is a brand-new retro 8-bit adventure from SJ Games — created by a young developer from France, with a little help from his dad.

Join Kubo, a turtle hero, on a quest across four very different worlds to recover the sacred crystals and free the villagers kidnapped by the infamous Moglar. Battle your way through monsters and bosses, explore a top-down overworld map, and drop into side-scrolling platforming stages before facing Moglar himself in his castle.

The Story

Moglar has kidnapped the inhabitants of Kubo's village and scattered the sacred crystals needed to save them across the land. Journey through the underworld, a haunted graveyard, an underwater world, and the open skies to recover every crystal, defeat Moglar's monsters, and take the fight to his castle for a final showdown.

Gameplay

KUBO 3 blends two perspectives in one adventure, in the spirit of classic NES-era action-adventure games: a top-down overworld map for exploring and choosing your path, and side-scrolling platforming levels where the real action happens. Fight through monsters, navigate environmental hazards like the underwater world's currents, and collect crystals as you push toward each world's boss.
