Blazing Trail

Totally unplayable on Steam Deck. Cannot control where you fire your machine gun (maybe that's as per design), laser is running out very fast, rockets are flying everywhere but in the correct direction, and 3-4 hits from anyone and you're dead. No way of just continue where you died, just start over. What? Refund. Thank you for the weird experience.

Over the years, numerous top-down war games have emerged, but few (if any) in this genre feature a dedicated war jeep as the protagonist, and this, in my opinion, makes the game quite unique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGOZKNfuYz8 Blazing Trail is a straightforward vertical co-op shooter that delivers solid, no-frills action. You and a partner control a heavily armed vehicle, navigating through seven levels filled with enemies and bosses. The pixel-art graphics are charming, and the gameplay is accessible, making it ideal for casual sessions. While not groundbreaking, it offers plenty of enjoyable, uncomplicated fun.

I thought it would feel like playing Jackal on NES but it's more akin to an arcade game that takes your quarters. > You get a health bar because the enemy shots move faster than you can dodge. > The screen is more zoomed in than the screenshots, which means you'll be shot at before you can register that there is an enemy there. > The level begins with a long unskippable animation of the boat dropping you off; not even ESC works. In Jackal, the action started within 5 seconds and a respawn after death was instant. > There are an unnecessary amount of bullets on screen for what is shooting them. Blazing Trail is trying too hard to be a bullet-hell.

Хочешь поиграть в жакал играй в жакал, это не жакал, ну и как погонялка не очень, потому что нельзя гнать вперед будут бобо, зачем пулемет и ракеты есть есть лазор? Увернуться от выстрела? Нет если в тебя стреляют в тебя попали, места для маневра нет, пройти первого босса на стиках боль моя задница ну и дальше отличные истории куда даже кота с лампой не позвать.

Love this game so far. reminds me of an old school game in the 90's I use to play on nintendo. controller is fully supported. recommended

It's like Jackal, but terrible in every way. Just go play Jackal on the NES.

Played until the first boss. Then it became a bullet hell game instead of a shoot 'em up. Controls with keyboard and mouse is abysmal. You can't aim with you mouse. Machine gun always shoots up, Rockets always shoot from your front and has low reach, while the laser is a long range one and you can't spam it (but it's not needed since every enemy usually dies in 1-2 shots from it). Why release the game on PC and not make it so that you could aim with the mouse? it's beyond my understanding. The vehicle controls are strange. The way it turns around makes you involuntarily kiss most of the mines on the ground, which eats your precious hp and then you usually die before reaching the checkpoint. I didn't like the gameplay overall. It's a copy-paste of Jackal formula from NES, but everything was made worse. Could have been a cool little game, but this is not it.

Игра так себе, но есть и плюс - после неё захотелось поиграть в оригинальный Джакал.

At first I thought the game will be like Rock&Roll Racing, on Sega, but the game is actually a throwback action game. The cost is extremely nice, there is a good story and scenes. The game is moderately difficult, beginners will do. There are gradual improvements, quests. I recommend the game to pass!
