Joymasher has announced that its upcoming 16-bit platformer that is heavily inspired by the Contra & Metal Slug games, Blazing Chrome, is coming to the PC on July 11th. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team released a brand new gameplay trailer that you can find below.
Blazing Chrome promises to combine explosive action with a variety of powerful and distinctive weaponry, aiming to appeal to the golden age of action platformers but also harness modern-day controls and deep gameplay mechanics.
Joymasher has also revealed that fans who unlock the new characters within the game will be treated to fast-paced, side-scrolling and vertical gameplay action as ‘Suhaila,’ a razor girl with a robotic arm or the skilled and deadly ninja ‘Raijin’ you try to out-fire, out-maneuver and out-wit your various metal-encased AI enemies.
Enjoy!

I wonder, what they will do in 10-20 years when old people who like pixelated graphic die, who will buy then those!
People who likes to play pixelated games are the ones making them.
I hope “both” die soon.
“Dude, only old people like pixelated games!”
Shut up, zoomer.
I love the Contra and Metal Slug influences, but damn if this doesn’t get me excited cause it reminds me of Midnight Resistance from my arcade as a kid in the 90’s.
Contra & Metal Slug-inspired… no thanks.
Boy, I loved these games as a kid. These days? No way. They are just boring. Do we need a metal slug inspired anything. there are 7 in the main series alone and most people probably haven’t sat through more than 1 or 2 them before getting bored to tears (these days. Again… back in the day they were awesome. I just don’t think this style of game has aged well)
I agree with your point of view.
It was indeed awesome to play this back in the past, but now I’m interested in games from this era. Why would I play “the same” game I’ve played so many times like 20 years ago?
I want Death Stranding and Detroit: Become Human’s like games, not this pixel crap.
But then again, I understand those who still enjoy to play this. I was a funny type of game.
Boy, I’m sure glad not everyone in this industry has the same mentality as you two.
Me too!
I didn’t want to see only “my kind of games” being released. Instead I like to see different types coming too, since it pushes me out of my confort zone. But the thing is that pixelated games (for me) are ugly and boring af.
But, as I said before, I won’t criticize you or whomever it is going to play it cause I did it a lot in the past. I’ve just moved with time.
