Linda Cube Again

About

Linda Cube Again is a 1997 RPG that mixes survival urgency with creature-catching quests. You play Ken, a young rescue team member, paired with Linda to herd animals onto a massive ark-like ship before an asteroid obliterates Neo Kenya. The game blends turn-based combat with exploration, as you navigate crumbling environments and manage resources to save species. Updated visuals and animated cutscenes give the original 1995 PC-Engine title a fresh coat of paint, though the core loop remains focused on strategic battles and environmental puzzles. The remake stands out for its atmospheric urgency and quirky creature designs, overseen by artist Tatsuyuki Tanaka. While not a critical darling by modern standards, it holds a cult following for its blend of apocalyptic stakes and lighthearted romance subplots. Available on PlayStation platforms old and new, it’s a niche pick for players who enjoy retro-style RPGs with a dash of sci-fi survival. Released in September 1997, it remains a curiosity for fans of overlooked 90s adventures.

Storyline

An asteroid is nearing the planet Neo Kenya. Scientists warn that the planet might be completely annihilated by it. In a most unexpected turn of events, a deity known as Anubis spoke to people and asked them to save the planet's animals before the asteroids hit it. Anubis sent the humans a huge ship - a magnified version of Noah's Ark - and demanded that one man and one woman should dedicate their time to saving the animals. A whole special team has been assigned to the project. Ken is one of the youngest members of the team, and he is sent on the grand mission to save the animals, together with his childhood sweetheart, the lovely Linda.
