Cobalt

About

Cobalt casts you as a cyborg agent investigating a vanished colony on a hostile alien world. Balance platforming jumps with gunplay and melee attacks while using a signature slow-motion mechanic to dodge and strike. The single player campaign gives way to six competitive multiplayer modes like deathmatch and capture the flag, plus co-op challenges. Play locally or online with up to eight players, customizing robot avatars and adapting to shifting map layouts. The game’s hook lies in its physics-based combat and variety. Over 30 maps offer distinct terrain and objectives while 36+ weapons let you experiment with playstyles. Rolling dodges and mountable alien creatures add unexpected layers to fights. Though not a critical darling, its blend of arcade-style action and flexible multiplayer keeps it a niche favorite among fans of chaotic co-op experiences. The co-op story mode remains a solid but unspectacular companion to the more inventive multiplayer focus.

Storyline

After the missing human colony "Trunkopia" suddenly sends out a distress signal after 50 years, Agent Cobalt, a type of cyborg called a metalface, is sent to investigate.
