Cobra Kai 2: Dojo’s Rising is the second instalment in the beat 'em all series inspired by the hit Netflix series. It serves up complete immersion in the thrilling world of the Karate Kid. The iconic characters from Cobra Kai are centre stage in this game that deftly combines fierce combat sequences with strategic management of your dojo. The main game mode, Story Mode, is, of course, the most interesting for fans of the series. You start by choosing your dojo from one of three available options. Next comes the tutorial, and the adventure begins with you playing as one of the students at your chosen dojo. From then on, you're free to recruit new students for your dojo from across the city. In Story Mode, the aim is to take the best students to the All Valley tournament and walk away with the trophy. The graphics may fall far short of a AAA title, but the combat modelling is decent enough. You'll easily recognise the actors, and that's all that matters. Our advice to help you on your way? Master the Chi skills. In the heat of the action, strategic management of your Chi skills is crucial. Frantically bashing away at the X button to dish out blows is one thing, but wisely using each character's skills makes all the difference. Train them all! Our favourite part? Managing the dojo. You'll need to maintain and grow its reputation by hiring staff and spending money. You have 14 days to turn your school into a thriving dojo, recruiting students and making savvy investments to upgrade your combat skills and the overall level of your dojo. And 14 days fly by! And don't overlook the Cobra Classics: a kind of street battle arena that's great in two-player. In short, Cobra Kai 2: Dojo’s Rising successfully captures the series vibrant energy, and delivers an exciting experience for fans of the series and the beat 'em up genre.
