    Space Adventure Cobra – Awakening combines the style of its early ’80s anime source material with the complexity of modern action-platformers to create a game full of…well, style and complexity. It’s not without its hardships, but those up for the challenge will be entertained.

    Despite its nostalgic charm, fast-paced action, and enjoyable co-op mode, this 16-bit-style platformer suffers from imprecise controls, sharp difficulty spikes, and a lack of Spanish translation that dull its appeal, though its humor and visual homage to the original anime remain engaging.
