Blazing Chrome Reviews
Blazing Chrome is an modern take on classic run and gun arcade classics. It's difficult to ignore the strong influence Contra had on the game's development, but either because of or in spite of this it's still a lot of fun to play, especially on co-op. Anyone who wants something new with the classic Contra or Metal Slug style gameplay can't go wrong with Blazing Chrome, but even though it's a good time, it doesn't really bring anything new to the party.
Blazing Chrome is challenging, well put-together, and replayable as heck, even if it comes off as familiar at times.
Joymasher's Blazing Chrome is a retraux action game which seeks to woo Contra aficionados with its challenging run-and-gun pixelated gameplay.
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
Blazing Chrome is so close to achieving what it's sets out to be – a fun retro 2D arcade shooter. There's sadly just too many issues to be overcome by the player to find the fun. If the development team are willing to put additional time into Blazing Chrome with patches and updates, then this could be well worth a punt. As it stands, Blazing Chrome is both too limited and too frustrating to recommend.
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.

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.
