Description: There's rather a lot occurring in Cobalt. Like, quite a bit. SZV7 The truth is, as much as I detest "it's like this but this," I feel like that is the best place to start out. The best way I can describe Cobalt (the first third-get together launch from Minecraft's Mojang) is as a curious mix of John Woo, Super Meat Boy, Contra and (most prominently) Tremendous Smash Brothers.Like I said ... too much going on.%Gallery-131035%You management a diminutive, adorable, blood-thirsty robotic battling others of your kind in a 2D, neon-drenched battlefield. Other than the weapons all robots have at their disposal (batteries, hatred of flesh-men), these bots have a fast arsenal of explosives, vitality weapons and good quaint robotic punching.Whereas the modes I played at PAX have been pretty standard (seize the flag, loss of life match), their tempo was much more accelerated than what you'd count on. Kills and captures happen fast, and one properly-placed grenade can flip the tide.It was clear that there was particular technique to this robotic madness.In reality, the only time the game slows down is when an enemy projectile is nearing one of the bots. As time slows, the bulky beam or bullet is highlighted, and the target has just one chance to deflect the shot by rolling into it (cool) or punching it away (supremely cool).The effect of this slowdown is that a bunch of gamers meeting in the middle of a map shortly transitions right into a slow-mo gunfight that might be precisely described as a bullet ballet if the robots weren't so stubby and if a large number of the "bullets" weren't rockets/grenades/energy beams. It may not be elegant, but it surely certain is a heck of lots of fun.Though chaos outlined my brief play time with the sport, there gave the impression to be deeper techniques that gamers might discover as time goes by. In fact, I was unable to finish the "advanced tutorial" which taught strikes like getting more grenade distance by throwing mid-roll.Whereas the speed and frantic motion was lots to wrap my thoughts around in a crowded expo hall, it was clear that there was particular technique to this robotic madness. I for one am looking forward to exploring it when the game arrives on Computer, Mac and Linux this fall.
