    Cobalt is a great adventure that successfully mixes many different gameplay elements to deliver something quite unique, adding its own ideas to the 2D experience.

    A boldly inventive 2D shooter that asks a lot of its players but rewards them with one of the most versatile action games of recent months.

    Cobalt is a resourceful game stained only by a controversial artistic direction. An indie gem that, between single-player and multiplayer, gives everything and does it well.

    Cobalt provides a decent and original single player metroidvania experience, plus a frenzied and content-rich multiplayer. It lacks the spark to make it really memorable mainly due to its too generic design and the price feels a bit too high, but especially if you've got friends to play it with, you won't be disappointed.

    If I have to summarize Cobalt in only one word, it has to be “strange”. It takes a while to get used to all the elements and control features that Oxeye mixed into this. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll find more fun than in the common 2D-action.

    Cobalt is a good adventure action game with a clever mix of genres.

    Great game. Love that we have a 2D game out that has recoil in it too. A good challenge, and fun to play with others online or locally. ThereGreat game. Love that we have a 2D game out that has recoil in it too. A good challenge, and fun to play with others online or locally. There is still more fun to be had even when you finish the campaign. Highly recommend this game. Full Review »
