Metal Slug and Contra-inspired Blazing Chrome announced for PC

The Arcade Crew, a newly formed division of Wonderboy: The Dragon’s Trap and Windjammers publisher Dotemu dedicated to producing and publishing new titles from small independent developers, has announced Blazing Chrome, a side-scrolling action game from Brazilian developer Joymasher coming to PC. A release date was not announced.

Here is an overview of the game, via The Arcade Crew:

In Blazing Chrome, militant AI-fueled computers rule the Earth while humans are expendable, lacking power, prestige or status among their machine overlords. Choose to play as Mavra, a super badass human resistance soldier, or Doyle, the equally groovy and deadly insurgent robot. When a small group of rebels decide to overthrow their oppressors, it results in heavy casualties and a ton of lock-and-load fast-paced action where scrapping robots and blazing chrome with your powerful weapons is the only thing standing between you and your freedom.

Blazing Chrome is inspired by classics like Metal Slug and Contra and will be on display at the Game Developer’s Conference next week in the GDC Play area, Wednesday through Friday, during show floor hours. The game will also be at GDC MIX (981 Mission St. in SF) on March 19th. The fast-paced run-and-gun title will launch in 2018 and represents the style and approach The Arcade Crew plans for all its titles.

The Arcade Crew has plans for several more announcements in 2018, but will retain a “selective portfolio” with “less than a handful of releases” planned for each year.
