Our take on Twin Cobra
This vertical shooter centers on surviving attacks and increasing firepower by evading shots. Its PC edition adds rewind, quick saves, and practice options alongside the arcade-style action, rather than changing the core focus on aerial combat.
What is Twin Cobra?
Twin Cobra is a vertical shooter in which a helicopter attacks enemy forces across land, sea, and sky.
Players can fire four ammo types and drop bombs. Dodging incoming shots increases firing rate and damage. The game can be played solo or in co-op with another player. This PC version includes quick saves, rewind, replay capture, online leaderboards, and a beginner difficulty mode. Assist options include auto-fire at multiple rates, and a customizable practice mode is available. Other additions include gameplay information panels, screen scaling and rotation options, Steam achievements, and a choice of input methods. The game uses arcade-accurate emulation.
