Blazing Chrome is an incredibly fast-paced shooter. It combines the greatest elements of Metal Slug and Contra games in one. The story is set in the distant future where robot forces have taken over the world. Mavra and her robot companion, Doyle have to save mankind. In this apocalyptic future, you have to blast your way through challenging missions filled with countless bad guys in your path. The standard machine gun works just fine, but the game offers several power-ups that help you mow down robotic grunts and monsters. There is a whip, grenades, lasers, extra shields, speed boost, and a few more that help you on your journey. There are 4 separate stages available at the start of the game and vary in difficulty. It took me several tries to get past a few of them (thank goodness for checkpoints). Some stages have variety to them too, with mech-suits, motorcycles, and jetpacks. There are two unlockable characters that add to the games excitement and value. The game has so much more than just a shoot em up style.

Right now, the game is available on PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. There’s no reason not to get this game. I’ve seen it only as high as $15.99, and for that price its a steal (it's free right now on the Xbox Gamepass). This one is a no-brainer. Great adventure. Co-op gameplay. Retro feel with a modern touch. Blazing Chrome gets a 9.1 out of 10. My only real complaint is that I wish it was longer and more gun power-ups would be nice.
