A retro side-scrolling beat-’em-up game
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is a multiplayer action game that gives you a nostalgic arcade gameplay experience featuring comic book aesthetics and crisp animations. This game highlights boss fights with each Cobra villain, challenging players' strategic skills and fast reflexes.
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is similar to games like Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn, Rivals of Aether, Sonic Superstars, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, providing a beat 'em up gaming experience that lets players face different kinds of villains. In this game, each stage feels distinct, ranging from urban warfare zones to exotic locations like Cobra’s secret bases.
Playable G.I. Joe characters
In G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra, players can choose to play any G.I. Joe character which includes Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, Snake Eyes, and others. Each of the characters has their own set of attacks and abilities. In this game, the combos are quite simple to pick up, although there’s depth in mastering each character’s move set especially when fighting against waves of Cobra soldiers.
The game offers a co-op mode, enhancing the player’s experience by letting them play with their friends to take down Cobra’s legion together. The game allows up to four players to take down the Cobra enemies. Here, you need to rely on your fists and get up close and personal using your character’s combos and special moves, or keep your enemies at a distance with a variety of weapons.
One standout feature of the game is the player’s ability to switch characters mid-level, which adds variety to each stage. This keeps the gameplay from becoming repetitive and encourages players to experiment with different Joes to find their favorite combinations. However, the difficulty curve can spike in certain sections, especially in boss fights, where strategy and teamwork become essential in the game.
