Blazing Chrome

Blazing Chrome is a dynamic shoot'em up borrowing in spades from 16-bit representatives of the genre, led by the iconic Metal Slug series. The production was developed by independent Brazilian studio JoyMasher - authors of such titles as Oniken or Odallus: The Dark Call.

Plot

Blazing Chrome takes place in the future, in a world dominated by machines controlled by Artificial Intelligence. People, who are completely useless to them, have been forced to live in hiding. The rebels, however, do not lose hope, and they see the chance for victory over their mechanical tormentors in the destruction of a giant power plant. When the rebel base is attacked by the machines, a handful of survivors undertake this difficult mission. Among them are the main characters of the game, the well-trained Mavra and Doyle, a renegade robot.

Mechanics

In Blazing Chrome the action is shown from the side. In the course of the game, we travel through five different locations, which are full of all kinds of enemies, such as walking machines as well as flying or jumping adversaries, and powerful bosses. We use an extensive arsenal of weapons to eliminate the opponents; in addition, our combat potential is increased by the armors we find along the way. In addition, the protagonists can also use jetpacks or antigravitational scooters at certain stages.

Game modes

Blazing Chrome can be played solo or in the company of a second player, in cooperation on a common screen.

Technical aspects

Like other works by JoyMasher, Blazing Chrome features two-dimensional pixel art graphics. The pace of the battle is intensified by a fast, chiptune soundtrack.
