Dragon Blaze stands tall as one of the best shumps the Nintendo Switch currently has to offer, even eighteen years after its arcade release.

Dragon Blaze is not pushing at the boundaries of what shoot ’em-ups can do. Even for Psikyo, who are well known for sticking to a formula, this is one of their most formulaic games. But like ordering the same tikka masala over and over again, simply because you know it’s going to be good, Dragon Blaze delivers a return on the trust you put into it. It’s overblown action, utterly replayable, and with Psikyo’s trademark craftsmanship when it comes to bosses. It all adds up to a surprisingly obvious starting point for shooters, or Psikyo shooters in particular.

It's quite simply brilliant, addictive and another must-have shmup you need to add to your growing digital arcade Switch collection.

Dragon Blaze is a nice-looking, decently fun 23-year-old arcade port. It’s overpriced and the achievements are a real p.i.t.a. to get. If you have a co-op partner and a vertical monitor though there are worse ways to spend your money.
