Description

The shooter of riding the dragon's back!
Master the techniques of the dragon and magic shot!


Dragon Blaze is a vertical-scrolling shooter game that first appeared in arcades in 2000.

The heroes are the four dragon riders.

They can use normal shots, bombs
and magic shots (press and hold the button).
In addition, they can also use the Dragon Shot.

The Dragon Shot is the main feature of this game.
Defeating enemies with the attack
when you release the dragon
will increase your score item bonus.

And, you can gain technical bonuses
by successfully hitting the boss' core.
Also, while separated from the dragon,
your magic shot performance changes.

You'll be surprised by the bosses attacks , transforming animations
and background art depicting an eerie and beautiful world.

You can set the difficulty level, life, number of continues,
controls, screen orientation, and more.

In addition, now we have online rankings!
Become the worlds to dragon rider!

Playing this on Monkey difficulty(basically the easiest setting), and all of a sudden got curbstomped in stage 7 when the spike was huge. 10/10 No but legit, a decent of a great shmup. Definitely get it if you're a fan

Yet another outstanding arcade to PC transfer by city connection. Honestly, from the menus to the gameplay it's just so darn good. Would love to see City Connection handle more arcade to Steam releases. An essential

A fun shoot 'em up, if heavy on memorisation! Simple scoring system that's all about positioning... effectively encourages risk for points! I do wish one could get more than one extra life for those points, though :)

You'll have a blast with this one! Dragon Blaze stands for me as the pinnacle of 2D Shoot'em Up's (Shmup) by the developers once known under the brand of Psikyo. This game finally made them a legendary brand. Dragon

There aren't many options for medieval fantasy shmups on Steam but thankfully we have Dragon Blaze, one of Psikyo's best shmups. Sending your dragon out to slash the enemies for mega damage and bonus points is quite
