Trailblazers Reviews
Trailblazers certainly paints its own trail in the arcade racing genre, something we don't really see very often. Splitscreen support for up to four players is ambitious as well. An actual story mode with an interesting cast of characters provides a bit of extra, unexpected entertainment, as well. Online may be a ghost town, as with many smaller releases, but couch co-op/competition is where the most fun is sure to be had. A lack of arcade racing features, such as powerups, means that it leans heavily on its paint theme, which may bore some after a bit. But for a quick splitscreen showdown, Trailblazers is easy to get into and not too heavy on the wallet at around $30 USD.
Trailblazers delivers an entirely fresh racing experience using paint and a wild atmosphere.
Trailblazers successfully sets itself apart from others in the same genre, especially as the Nintendo Switch marketplace is full of crazy racing games. While it is evident that the soundtrack and art style are somewhat borrowed, they have been churned into a product that is new, refreshing and unique, blazing itself a trail all of its own.
Trailblazers is entertaining when playing against the CPU, but best when played with real people. The A.I. is no match for other competitors' emergent strategies, and you can't put a plan into action very well with it either.
A fun mix of F-Zero and Splatoon with unusual gameplay mechanics. Even if multiplayer lobbies remain empty, you can always spend your time in a fun story mode.

Trailblazers is a fantastic game that blends racing and a team-based dynamic to craft a memorable experience.
Trailblazers, in a formula that blends F-Zero with Splatoon, becomes an excellent game and one of the best of its kind. Extremely fun in solo mode and a marvelous experience when played with friends, we recommend it as a great representative of driving games.

Trailblazers is a very fun combination of gameplay mechanics we've seen in other games, bringing them together in a racing game that stands out from the crowd. If you're into slower racing games then this game one is not for you, but if you like to dive into fast-paced racers with interesting gameplay mechanics that add a new twist into the mix, then be sure to check out Trailblazers today!
Trailblazers is a compilation of gorgeous race tracks with not a lot to do on them. If a sequel ever manages to come about, it’s easy to imagine a version of Trailblazers with better combat, a wider variety of ways to take advantage of painting the track, and more changes/tweaks besides, but until then this is a wasted opportunity on Supergonk’s part. Trailblazers can be fun, but it’s fleeting.
A colourful cartoon racer that lifts some of Nintendo's big ideas, but not its attention to detail.
