How hard is it to implement the kind of voxels that Blood and Shadow Warrior have? Not actual 3d geometry, but 2d billboarded squares arranged to a shape in 3d space.

They're not voxels you faggot. They're cubic models with sprite textures.

THESE are voxels

Are those voxels though? I thought voxels were supposed to literally be volumetric pixels? Like in Shadow Warrior and Blood. Instead of being 2d sprites built out of pixels on a 2d plane, objects are 3d point clouds built out of pixels in a 3d array. Every point has a color value, but they are not rendered as 3d cubes, but billboarded 2d squares. ie. pixels.
