劇情忠於原作動畫的前十二集內容，從眼鏡蛇的甦醒開始，到他重新拾起海盜身分、再度面對命運的挑戰。不僅能重溫原作中那份充滿幽默與浪漫的冒險精神，還能透過互動式劇情與精緻動畫，體驗「眼鏡蛇」世界的獨特魅力。

操作與遊戲玩法

以2D橫向捲軸動作平台 為核心玩法，融合傳統動作遊戲節奏與現代化視覺表現。將操作眼鏡蛇穿梭於不同星球，利用奔跑、跳躍、翻滾、攀爬等動作突破陷阱與障礙。每個關卡都設計有獨特的環境機制，例如低重力區域、能源障壁、爆炸地形等，讓玩家必須靈活應對。

眼鏡蛇的標誌性武器——精神感應槍（Psychogun） 是戰鬥的核心。它能發射高能量光束，同時具備多種升級形態，如穿透射線、追蹤彈與能量爆破等。除此之外，還可使用其他經典裝備：

• 雪茄（Cigar）：不僅是角色標誌，也在特定情境中可觸發特殊劇情或恢復體力。
• 鉤爪（Grapple Hook）：能用於攀登高處或跨越陷阱。

除戰鬥操作外，還有多段 BOSS 戰，每場戰鬥都有獨特的機制與攻擊模式，例如利用場景反射光束、避開能量陷阱或破解敵人裝甲。這些設計讓戰鬥不僅考驗反應速度，也需要策略思考。

遊戲模式與特色

本作支援單人與雙人合作模式。單人模式提供三種難度設定——從輕鬆體驗劇情的「冒險模式」，到挑戰極限操作的「傳奇模式」。而雙人模式則允許玩家與朋友一同協力過關，體驗更刺激的合作冒險。

整體關卡以科幻太空歌劇風格 呈現，融合高科技城市、外星叢林、冰封星球與機械要塞等多樣地形。遊戲的美術設計忠於寺澤武一原作的世界觀，角色建模及背景皆使用現代繪圖技術重現原始漫畫的視覺張力。此外，配樂部分邀請多位日本與法國作曲家合作，結合電子音樂與管弦樂風格，營造出宏大又浪漫的太空冒險氛圍。

部分評論指出遊戲在操作手感與關卡難度上略顯傳統，但這種設計反而保留80 年代動作遊戲的原始風味。對老玩家而言，它既是一場懷舊之旅，也是致敬傳奇漫畫的誠意之作。

整體而言，《新眼鏡蛇：覺醒》不僅是動作平台遊戲，更是跨世代的文化復興。它讓經典太空海盜「眼鏡蛇」再度登上舞台，以浪漫、勇氣與幽默，帶領玩家重返那個充滿未知與自由的宇宙時代。

“Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening” is an upcoming 2D side-scrolling action-platformer developed by Magic Pockets and published by Microids, under official license from TMS Entertainment, the studio behind the original Space Adventure Cobra anime. The game first launches on Steam on August 26, 2025, followed by a Nintendo Switch release on December 18, 2025.

The title revives the legendary manga and anime universe created by Buichi Terasawa between 1978 and 1984—a cult-classic space opera that follows the charming and reckless space pirate Cobra, armed with his iconic Psychogun, as he roams the galaxy with his loyal android partner Lady (Armaroid Lady), taking on powerful foes and unraveling cosmic conspiracies. The series’ influence on Japanese pop culture is immense, blending sci-fi, noir, and pulp adventure with a charismatic antihero at its core.

In The Awakening, players once again step into Cobra’s boots for an interstellar adventure filled with danger, wit, and retro flair. The story centers around Cobra’s mission to save a mysterious trio of sisters whose fates are tied to a legendary treasure that could determine the destiny of the entire universe. Meanwhile, the ruthless Galactic Pirate Guild hunts the same treasure, forcing Cobra and Lady into a race against time that spans across multiple planets filled with traps, enemies, and secrets.

Gameplay-wise, the title delivers a classic 2D side-scrolling experience infused with modern action design. Players can run, jump, climb, and shoot their way through richly designed alien worlds—each filled with environmental hazards, moving platforms, and puzzles that test reflexes and strategy alike. Combat is fast-paced and highly varied, encouraging creative use of Cobra’s arsenal. His signature Psychogun, built into his left arm, allows psychic-powered attacks that can bend around obstacles or strike multiple targets. Other tools include the Colt Python 77, grappling hook, cigars that offer status buffs, and various gadgets for exploration and combat versatility.

The game supports both single-player and two-player cooperative modes. The main story offers three difficulty levels, catering to both newcomers who want to enjoy the cinematic narrative and seasoned players who crave a more punishing, skill-based challenge. Co-op mode allows two players to fight side by side through the campaign, sharing health pickups and combining attacks to overcome the toughest foes.

Visually, The Awakening embraces a vibrant sci-fi aesthetic that captures the flamboyant, space-pulp tone of the original manga. Neon-lit cities, alien jungles, asteroid mines, and derelict starships form the backdrop for Cobra’s journey, all rendered with dynamic lighting and fluid animation. The developers have aimed for a balance between nostalgic 80s anime design and modern high-definition detail, making the game feel like a living tribute to the golden age of space adventure storytelling.

True to its roots, the game adapts the first twelve episodes of the classic anime, preserving the humor, charisma, and swashbuckling spirit that defined Cobra’s character. Fans will encounter beloved figures from the original series, including the enigmatic Roya Sisters and the crystalline villain Crystal Bowie, Cobra’s most iconic nemesis. Every encounter and cinematic sequence has been reimagined for an interactive format, allowing players to relive key moments from the series through fast-paced action and immersive cutscenes.

Early impressions from industry previews have been largely positive, praising its fidelity to Terasawa’s universe and the way it modernizes retro gameplay without losing the spirit of the source material. Critics highlight the balance between fluid platforming mechanics, stylish gunfights, and narrative-driven presentation. Many see it as both a nostalgic celebration for longtime fans and an accessible entry point for new audiences unfamiliar with the Space Adventure Cobra saga.

In summary, “Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening” is more than a revival—it’s a full-scale homage to one of Japan’s most iconic space operas. With thrilling action, vivid world-building, and heartfelt respect for its anime roots, it promises to reintroduce the galaxy’s most infamous outlaw to a new generation of players while reigniting the excitement of classic sci-fi adventure gaming.
