“Another great shmup from Psikyo with quite unique mechanics.”
“Dragon Blaze has many of the mechanics that Psikyo shoot 'em ups are known for, along with an interesting twist.”
“The central mechanic of Dragon Blaze is the ability to separate the rider from the dragon, called the dragon shot.”
“You have to set other stuff in the in-game escape menu, and this menu is a bit hard to get used to, because you can't use simple enter and escape; you'd have to use the active gameplay keys, such as the shooting key and magic key.”
“It's not a difficult mechanic to understand, but can be a little tricky to get the most out of it.”
“There is a menu, but I can only work well with it using the keyboard; although during gameplay, I can play with a joystick.”
