    First 12 episodes of 1982 Anime Faithfully Adapted

    If you love 1982 anime series, currently on PlutoTV, this game is faithful to the first dozen episodes. Gameplay is a bit Megaman-y but with some puzzle elements which are a real highlight. I never imagined we were going to get another Cobra game in English ( last one was 30 years ago ) and I'm very happy we did.

    Good Action Games

    While not any original gameplay it's an overall fun one. While I've never seen the anime the gameplay it showed made it interesting and one worth taking a chance on. Which I did and don't regret and for the sale price right now one that's worth taking a look at as this will definitely be a great affordable X-mas gift for any gamer.
