Cabal is a shooter game released in 1990 for the Nintendo NES. The main objective in the game is to control a soldier who must eliminate enemy forces while avoiding incoming fire. Players progress through various stages, each filled with different enemies and obstacles to overcome.
The game features a distinct gameplay pace that combines action and strategy, requiring players to aim precisely and time their shots while simultaneously dodging attacks. A unique mechanic of Cabal involves using a cursor to target enemies independently from the character's movement, allowing for a dual focus on shooting and positioning.
One unusual idea in Cabal is the fixed-screen setup where the player character remains near the bottom of the screen, creating a defensive stance feel. This design encourages players to balance offensive and defensive actions. The game’s distinctive blend of cover-based shooting and cursor control sets it apart from typical run-and-gun shooters of its era.
