Cabal Online News & Events & Guides

From the opening locale of a war-torn village, you move on to a number of hostile environments such as a beach, jungle area and buy cabal enemy-controlled harbor as the game progresses. Although the environments aren't limited to these locations, each stage is filled with enemy soldiers, all intent on your demise. Military hardware is a concern as well with helicopters, planes, tanks and trucks just a few of the obstacles encountered as you advance deeper into enemy territory.

Some of the most enjoyable features in the game are the interactive elements within each stage.

Conversely, some annoying minor control anomalies, such as use of the spacebar to throw grenades, mar an otherwise great game, though they're not game killers.

Two-player mode, although unfortunately not simultaneous, is immensely rewarding since competing for the highest score is almost as fun as beating the game.
