Cobalt

Cobalt is an action game built around slow motion and combat moves that let you deflect bullets and line up headshots. You can play through its story alone or in local co-op, or compete against friends and other players in local and online multiplayer.

Story and challenges

In Story Mode, you explore a remote colony and uncover what happened to the humans, why you are riding a space hamster and how your cyborg head deflects bullets. The story includes puzzles, boss fights and tameable pets. You can also tame wasps, play dancing mini-games and befriend birds.

Combat and Speed challenges test your speed, agility and combat skills, with results tracked on global leaderboards. Survival Mode pits you against waves of enemies, with equipment upgrades between rounds.

Combat mechanics

Cobalt’s combat roll can deflect projectiles or help you line up headshots. Automatic extreme slow motion lets you perform moves such as rocket punches, bullet deflections and last-second goals. You can customise weapons and armour to suit your taste.

Multiplayer modes

The game has six modes, playable locally or online across over 80 maps:

• Deathmatch: Fight in free-for-all showdowns or team-based battles.
• Team Strike: Compete in multiple rounds without respawns, with equipment upgrades between rounds.
• Plug Slam: Play the Cobalt universe’s sport by slamming the plug into the goal to win while trying not to die.
• Survival Mode: Face waves of enemies and upgrade equipment between rounds.
• Combat and Speed challenges: Test your speed, agility and combat skills.
• Story Mode: Explore a remote colony alone or with a friend in local co-op, solving puzzles, fighting bosses and taming pets.
