Blazing Chrome doesn't try to be anything more than a classic run-and-gun and easily exceeds expectations, although the length does leave something to be desired.
Blazing Chrome is a must-buy for retro fans. It looks and plays great - albeit with a few frustrating aspects inherent to the genre - and is even more fun, and chaotic, in coop.
Joymashers newest game is a good exercise on using nostalgia as an inspiration, but not directly copy it. Blazing Chrome takes a lot of games like Contra III and Metal Slug, but also includes mechanics from newest games so it doesn't feel just like a clone of other successful games.

Blazing Chrome knows perfectly how to strike a chord to make us believe that we are dealing with a real retro game, with a simple and direct gameplay typical of the time and with a sound and visual section that will keep us with a smile on our face. On the other hand, the game has a short duration that leaves the player wanting more and a system of aids that may be in dissonance with the rest of the elements. Otherwise, a safe bet for entertainment.

Blazing Chrome is a pleasant gift to the bored fans of the classic Contra with fun gameplay, well-balanced high difficulty and beautiful pixel styling. If you have already finished Cuphead and are waiting for something hardcore and interesting in the format of side-scrolling shooter, you can safely buy this project. The game will not disappoint you.

Despite some issues, Blazing Chrome can be considered as a true spiritual to Contra Hard Corps. If you're a Contra fan, you'll find most of the things you wanted in a Contra title in this game as well and will be quite pleased with what you'll get. But the rest of players and especially those who are inexperienced in the Run 'n Gun genre might have issues with the game's difficulty and the amount of available content

Whilst clearly inspired by Contra, Blazing Chrome is more than capable to stand on its own as a great run ‘n gun. It shows how much Joymasher grew as a developer and it is by far their best game.

It is a title that, to an inexperienced like me in this type of games, has been very hard, and that surely will make it difficult for the most versed in the field. Still, its speed and speed are an adrenaline rush more than important, and that culminates with enormous satisfaction once you reach the end of each level.

Playing Blazing Chrome is like going back to the arcade golden era.

The best Contra game for decades, even if it's not an official sequel, with amusingly over-the-top action and a great co-op mode.
Blazing Chrome is a game that makes feels like I stepped into a time machine and arrived back during the heydays of the forgotten Run N' Gun arcade shooter genre. Challenging, fun and one of the best games 2D shooters I've played in quite some time.
Konami might be reviving Contra in its own way, but it is unlikely it will scratch the same itch that fans have been grasping for all these years. From the wild rail gun shooting sequence, to the frantic battle with a huge cycloptic Terminator knock-off, Blazing Chrome is worthy to be held in the same league of the action games that inspired it. This is easily one of the greatest 2D action games on the Nintendo Switch, and it is made all the better thanks to its accessible two-player co-op mode. It is fun with friends and enemies. It may not burn for long, but Blazing Chrome burns extremely bright.
Blazing Chrome's explosive action and old-school aesthetic delight, even though the experience ends too quickly.
Blazing Chrome is a classic shooter that might not be appealing to the newer generation of gamers, but it's perfect for old school shooter fans or those who are willing to give it a chance.

A wonderful game for Contra fans. Painfully short, though.

For better or worse, this title has the overall feel of a relic. As an older gamer who grew up with arcades, it should hold high appeal to me. Yet I can't help but find myself thinking more about the games it's trying to emulate, at least when playing solo
Overall Blazing Chrome is an excellent game and well worth the price. With the Leaderboards this gives you a reason to come coming back and playing. Also once you have completed the game there are some surprises which I will not spoil here.
One of the best run 'n' gun shooters out there.
A good game is still a good game regardless of generation.
