There's loads occurring in Cobalt. Like, quite a bit.
In reality, as much as I detest "it is like this but this," I feel like that's the perfect place to start. One of the best ways I can describe Cobalt (the primary third-get together launch from Minecraft's Mojang) is as a curious mix of John Woo, Tremendous Meat Boy, Contra and (most prominently) Super Smash Brothers.
Like I mentioned ... rather a lot going on. Minecraft servers %Gallery-131035%You control a diminutive, adorable, blood-thirsty robot battling others of your sort in a 2D, neon-drenched battlefield. Apart from the weapons all robots have at their disposal (batteries, hatred of flesh-males), these bots have a fast arsenal of explosives, energy weapons and good old fashioned robot punching.
While the modes I played at PAX were pretty standard (seize the flag, demise match), their tempo was much more accelerated than what you'd count on. Kills and captures occur fast, and one properly-placed grenade can turn the tide.
It was clear that there was definite method to this robotic madness.
Actually, the one 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 players meeting in the middle of a map quickly transitions into a slow-mo gunfight that could possibly 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 might not be elegant, but it surely certain is a heck of a number of enjoyable.
Although chaos outlined my transient play time with the game, there seemed to be deeper programs that players might explore as time goes by. In actual fact, I was unable to finish the "advanced tutorial" which taught strikes like getting more grenade distance by throwing mid-roll.
Whereas the velocity and frantic action was too much to wrap my thoughts around in a crowded expo hall, it was clear that there was definite method to this robotic madness. I for one am looking forward to exploring it when the sport arrives on Laptop, Mac and Linux this fall. Minecraft servers
