The scoring system is extremely simple and easy to learn. Less than half way through the game, the screen is almost always covered in fast moving, glowing pink death. While not technically a bullet hell shooter, the projectiles flood the screen more than the typical Psikyo game, with a combination of Cave-style bullet curtains and Raiden-style bullet speed, which makes many of the bosses quite terrifying. In fact, much more difficult than Psikyo’s other games. Mastering these tricks is essential, because Dragon Blaze gets quite difficult. Like Strikers 1999, there’s also a “technical bonus” obtained when you wait for a boss to reveal their weakpoint, then focusing on it to destroy them quickly. There are also bombs, which are separate from your magic attacks. These attacks are initiated by holding down the fire button, and change depending on whether your knight is mounted or dismounted. There’s also a magic meter, obviously used for magic attacks, which charges as you destroy enemies. Having your dragon blast away at a stationary enemy while dodging the extremely fast bullets is essential to make any sort of progress. It’s similar to concept to the pod from R-Type, but while the dragon is invincible while dismounted, it can’t absorb bullets. Pressing the dismount button again will call the dragon back. This allows you to shoot from two places on the screen at once, with the rider possessing a weaker weapon than his dragon. By pressing the dismount button, the dragon charges forward, ramming any enemies in its way and maintaining his position on the screen, while you continue to control the rider, who has the ability to float. The most interesting feature in Dragon Blaze is the ability to dismount your steed, known as a “dragon shoot”. Luckily, Ian makes up for this flaw with the best speed and respectable power. The only thing even close to an attack that shoots in any other direction are homing knives that do not actually home in very well. Every last one of his attacks, from the bomb to any of his magic shots shoot in a straight line. He rides a skull dragon and is by far, the most difficult character to use. A depressed knight looking for his lost master.
