I have watched all of Cobra Kai so far and it was amazing. I wonder how the 2nd game will go. Hopefully better than the 1st one.
By the way, this is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Says so on the website.
I hope it runs good on Switch.
Cobra Kai 2 ?! 😲
I wanna get the game on PS5 version if available. 😃
I’m excited. I actually thought the first game was well done and it seems like they’re inspired to add more content!
That's cool! I was hoping for a possible sequel. The first game was really ragged on for looking a bit rough and people were comparing it to mobile games. I honestly feel it was quite underrated. It's really pretty good if you can get the hang of it. It's no streets of rage 4 or shredders revenge but it's better than what the reviews were saying. At least i think so.
I'm eager to learn more about this!
Man i love the series!
Brings back some amazing memories.
First game was pretty bad, but maybe they heard the complaints and made fixes. Doubt it though if they are just making the games to promote the show.
The first game actually looks pretty decent, so as long as they improve on it, I think it will turn out just fine.
First game may not look all that pretty. Got some PS2 vibe about it. But it's a pretty deep brawler. I enjoyed it.
It pleases me.
Hopefully the 2nd one gets better artists
Hopefully they’ll be flashback levels to John Kreese’s time in Vietnam…..fighting above the snake pit!
Gutted that it’s again not a tournament fighter like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat…
The original game looks and plays like garbage, sorry but as good as the show was I'm not really that excited for a second game unless a good dev actually handles it. Maybe get LizardCube or Tribute Games to handle this cause it doesn't seem like FLUX is doing a good job of it.
@Truegamer79 Just finished my first playthrough as Cobra Kai and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to my second playthrough as Miyagi-Do now that I know what to expect. It's definitely rough around the edges with some janky animations at times but overall its a solid foundation.
Looks to be more ambitious than the first. Higher quality visuals and it's fully 3D rather than a belt scroller.
I know the first one looked a little rough around the edges but as a massive karate kid/cobra kai fan i couldn't help liking it. The sequel looks slightly better like they actually wanted to improve on the original so I'm keeping my eyes on this one!
Show is great for Karate Kid fans. You can tell it was meticulously crafted to fit the canon naturally for the three original movies
The first game was apparently crap though so hopefully 2nd game fixes it.
I'll probably pick up a copy at a discount, like I did with the first game, which I have yet to play. Actually, I still need to watch the show.
Haven't played the game, but I've really been enjoying the show, and I'm not even a fan of the movies.
