History VideoGame / BlazingChrome

* SpiritualSuccessor: The game is essentially a sequel/love letter to ''VideoGame/ContraIIITheAlienWars'' and ''VideoGame/ContraHardCorps''.

''Blazing Chrome'' is a July 2019 action run and gun game by Brazilian development team Joymasher, who are known for ''VideoGame/{{Oniken}}'' and ''VideoGame/OdallusTheDarkCall''.

It is available for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/Playstation4, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/XboxOne. Plus, an arcade version is in the works.

* MythologyGag: Several stages have clear call-backs to ''Oniken'' in either their scenery or enemy designs and the term [[https://twitter.com/camelo003/status/1153871584932880384 "ONIKEN PROTOCOL"]] is seen in the background at one point. While it's not confirmed, it could imply the game is a StealthSequel to that one.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The introductory cut-scene depicts Marva meticulously loading an ammo cartridge in bullets. In gameplay all characters have infinite ammo.

** The Golden Giant, the boss if Stage 1, needs to be shot in the head enough times in order to expose its core, which has to be attacked. It'll retract the core after sustaining a bit of damage, forcing you to repeat the process.

* AntiClimax: The final boss abruptly explodes after the second virtual world section which ends with a rather easy and brief fight against a image of the playable ninja character.

* BloodIsSquickerInWater: The Stage 5 boss is one of the few that doesn't explode spectacularly. Instead its blood dyes red the acid pool it was attacking from.

** The first and second minibosses of stage 5 are accompanied by enemies that constantly come in to aid them, the first one comes with flying bug robots while the second comes with napalm-dropping jetpackers.
** The fourth miniboss of stage 5 is a laser cannon that constantly summons mooks from the side walls to attack you.
** The boss of stage 5 has acid-shooting flies that will fly in from the sides every time it uses its bite attack.

** The boss of Stage 1 needs to be shot in the head enough times in order to expose its core, which has to be attacked. It'll retract the core after sustaining a bit of damage, forcing you to repeat the process.

* ShockAndAwe: The boss of Stage 2 is a huge flying robot whose attacks are all electrical in nature, be they electric balls or lightning strikes.

** The Sergeant fights very similarly to Allen O Niel from the ''Metal Slug'' series. Even the arena layout is almost identical from his boss battles.

** The final stage is reminiscent of ''VideoGame/MegaManX1'', with similar {{Boss Corridor}}s, {{Boss Room}}s and boss doors to the Sigma levels [[spoiler:and the final boss's mech body is very reminiscent of Wolf Sigma, even involving his disembodied head floating into it to control it]].

* GiantSpider: The mid boss of Stage 3 is a giant spider monster that attempts to destroy the elevator the heroes are on. [[TimedMission You get one minute]] to shoot it down. At the end of the stage, another spider-esque biomechanical creature with 4 legs also stands in the protagonists' way.

** The Stage 3 boss takes cues from ''Contra's'' Jagger Froid/Emperor Devil Gyaba, having snakelike appendages that attack the player. This time, though, they are a primary target rather than respawning parts.

** One enemy in Stage 3 is a turret that behaves very similar to the [[https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Plasma_Cannon Plasma Cannon]] enemies from ''VideoGame/MegaManX4's'' Military Train stage, alternating between firing a WaveMotionGun and an arced missile attack.
