Blazing Chrome

Blazing Chrome is a side-scrolling run and gun with gameplay similar to Contra and Metal Slug. Players take on the role of resistance fighters Mavra and Doyle, fighting off robotic enemies across multiple levels. It can be played single-player or in a two-player local cooperative mode. There are six levels in total; four are already unlocked, and two have to be unlocked.

Players can run, jump, and dodge. There are four weapons in the game: a machine gun, a grenade launcher, an energy whip, and a particle cannon. Players are equipped with a machine gun at the start of each level and can pick up more weapons as they progress. Melee attacks are performed if a player attempts to shoot an enemy at close range.

Blazing Chrome was developed by Brazilian game studio JoyMasher. After the first trailer for the game was released in March 2018, a game demo of Blazing Chrome was featured at PAX East 2018 held in April, showing off the game's mechanics. The Arcade Crew released a gameplay preview on June 28, showing two players riding hoverbikes and fighting enemies on a train. Blazing Chrome was released on July 11, 2019, for Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and later for Amazon Luna on November 19, 2020.

JoyMasher primarily took inspiration from the Metal Slug and Contra games. Developer Danilo Dias, a fan of the games, wanted to combine the mechanical bosses of Metal Slug and the "speed and frenetic style" of Contra. The game's backgrounds were influenced by Irem games such as GunForce II, being designed to look "ruined and extremely detailed".

Blazing Chrome received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Alex Santa Maria of GameRevolution praised the game's challenge and presentation, but criticized the "unforgiving" difficulty curve and "outdated" control scheme. Nintendo Life's Ollie Reynolds agreed that the game's difficulty was "brutal", though he praised the gameplay, visuals, and "spectacular" boss battles.
