The game doesn't waste time with cutscenes. It drops you immediately into the action. The pixel art is stunning—rich, colorful, and packed with explosions that fill the screen without causing the Switch to chug. The character sprites are large and distinct, and the enemy designs range from generic fodder to screen-filling monstrosities that look like they were ripped straight out of a 1993 arcade cabinet.
If you grew up blasting through Contra and Metal Slug in arcades, Blazing Chrome on Switch is the adrenaline-fueled nostalgia trip you’ve been waiting for.
