What Cobalt WASD is

Cobalt WASD is a 2D action platformer built around bomb defusal. Two teams of murder-bots fight over several rounds: one side tries to plant and detonate bombs in the enemy base, the other tries to stop them. Each round pays out volts, which your team spends on equipment and weapons, so the loadout changes as the match goes on. Movement is tuned for WASD with mouse aiming, and the game includes dashing, teleportation, jet shoes and grappling hooks for getting around maps quickly.

Playing together

Matches are 4 versus 4 online, with dedicated server software, and you can also play against AI when a full lobby isn't available. Coordination matters more than raw aim: decide who pushes toward the bomb site, who holds the defence, and who buys what with the volts you've earned. There are five suits with distinct abilities — Time Distortion, Time Booster, Bullet Deflector, Cloaking and Kinetic Absorber — so a team can split roles between stealth, support and frontline. Over 30 weapons and tools are available, plus mecha-styled vehicles, and grenades that stop time turn a crowded firefight into slow motion while bullets and bots hang in the air.

Before you start

Expect a fast, dense shooter with damage-bonus hit zones on the head, eye and from behind, so positioning and angles count. The game ships with 10 maps and supports workshop maps, so your group can branch out beyond the standard rotation. Characters are customizable, and the UI and crosshair settings can be adjusted to taste. Everything is included in the base game: no loot crates, no pay-to-win items, no edition exclusives.
