Introduce
Cobra Mission is a unique adventure role-playing game (RPG) on the NES, notable for its story-driven and interactive gameplay. Players control a protagonist, exploring a vast city from a first-person perspective when navigating the map and a static view when entering specific locations.
Gameplay primarily revolves around selecting commands from a menu, similar to traditional point-and-click adventure games. Options include moving to different areas, talking to non-player characters (NPCs), examining the environment for items or clues, and using items from the inventory. Each choice can lead to new dialogues or events.
The game's objectives often involve solving mysteries or completing specific tasks, usually by gathering information and items. The game is known for its adult content, where players will encounter and interact with various female characters, with the goal of unlocking suggestive scenes or images. This requires players to make appropriate dialogue and action choices to progress.
Cobra Mission is not an action game but a slow-paced experience, demanding patience in reading comprehension (as the original game is in Japanese) and deduction. An inventory management system and hidden stats also play a minor role in unlocking certain events. The game offers a unique style, distinct from most NES titles of its era.
