Cobalt

Cobalt is a metroidvania action shooter 2D featuring a deep battle system and a satisfying loot system. It offers a very good challenge for skilled players and several single-player and multiplayer game modes, competitive and cooperative both offline and online. Old school side-scrolling and brawlers fans will love it.

A nice mixture of genres that lacks any graphical punch that support its wonderful gameplay.

A challenging experience centered around gameplay that has you deflect bullets by rolling head first into danger.

Cobalt is an entertaining indie game. It has enough content to keep you busy for a while, and it's crafted with great care.

Cobalt has a deep learning curve. Is tough and challenging, thanks to slow motion mechanics, and tons of weapons. We have the story, playable both in single and co-op, but also a large number of funny arcade modes.

Cobalt is a complex, demanding game. Sometimes even frustrating, when forcing to replay the same level over and over again. Despite that, the quick and flashy combat system is a lot of fun.

What we have here is a charming little action game with a lot of detail—not every detail matters, but there's solid effort put into making the machine work.

I really enjoyed Cobalt, mainly due to the slick gameplay. The game feels hectic, fast-paced and it has some funny moments. The levels and enemies are well thought out and designed, and I really enjoyed playing around with various weapons to destroy enemies. It will take a bit of time getting used to the controls and movement, but once you get it, it feels awesome. I would certainly recommend this game if you like a challenge, that feels rewarding.

For a game with such novel and simple mechanics, they're a bit too hard to get to make it a casual battle couch game. The story never grasped me entirely, and although it's mildly enjoyable, it never gets much better than that.

​Cobalt sometimes is a very entertaining action-platformer. You want to love it, but Cobalt comes with too much unmeant frustration​ to really deserve that love.

Without being a bad game, Cobalt disappoints because of its solo mode. The strength of the title strictly rests in its multiplayer modes that will seduce the gamers who like the competition and the strategy.
