Blazing Trail
There’s a secret base in the Brazilian mountains. Kidnapped scientists are kept here, developing a tactical combat vehicle for terrorists. The vehicle is powered by a nuclear power cell, and is equipped with missiles, a machine gun and the latest powerful laser gun.
The scientists cannot allow their invention to be used by terrorists, so they stole the key to the hangar to escape during the night. The scientists broke into the hangar to hijack the vehicles and freed the other hostages. After the hijacking, they leave the holding area and take a cargo ship to cross the border of the protected area. But on the way, the river is blocked with rocks….

Blazing Trail Review
Tanks And Destruction? Yes!
Blazing Trail is one of those games that throws you right into the chaos- no time for questions, just bullets, explosions, and a desperate fight for survival. It’s a vertical co-op shooter with classic arcade vibes, pixel-art graphics, and enough firepower to make Michael Bay proud. You take control of a stolen combat vehicle, trying to escape from a secret terrorist base in the Brazilian mountains, all while blasting through hordes of enemies. Sounds simple enough, right? Well… let's talk about it.
About This Game
Storyline
The story is actually more fleshed out than I expected for a game like this. It’s not just "shoot everything that moves"; there’s a mission behind all the chaos. You play as a group of kidnapped scientists who’ve stolen a high-tech combat vehicle (equipped with a nuclear power cell, missiles, a machine gun, and even a laser gun) to escape the bad guys.
Gameplay Mechanics
Here’s where things got a little tricky for me. I started playing with keyboard and mouse, and it was rough. Aiming and shooting felt unintuitive, and I kept dying way too fast. It might be a skill issue, but it just wasn’t clicking. The moment I switched to a gamepad, though? Instant improvement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Co-op gameplay: Everything is more fun when you can drag a friend into the chaos.
Satisfying combat: The mix of weapons and vehicle controls makes for some fun, explosive action.
Pixel-art visuals: If you’re into retro aesthetics, this game delivers.
Controller support: Seriously, if you play this, use a gamepad. It just feels better.
Boss fights: Big enemies, big explosions—what’s not to like?
Cons
Keyboard + mouse controls feel awkward: At least for me. Maybe it's just me, but I struggled.
Difficulty might be too easy for some: While the game is fun, it’s not the toughest challenge out there.
Lack of long-term content: It’s fun, but once you’re done, there’s not much reason to replay unless you just really love the gameplay. A survival mode with waves of enemies would have been a great addition.
Price is a bit high: I feel it’s a little overpriced, but it does go on discount often, the lowest being at 30% off.
Conclusion
So, is Blazing Trail worth playing? If you’re into arcade shooters, enjoy couch co-op, or just want to relive some retro-style action, then yeah, you’ll probably have a good time with it. The combat is fun, the visuals are charming, and it’s a solid way to kill a few hours. That said, if you’re looking for something with deep mechanics or long-term replayability, you might find it a bit lacking.
Rating: 9/10
I wish I could play Retro Games but the graphics of modern games have spoiled me…

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!

Lately I've been very interested in games with the atmosphere of the 2000s, and I came across this game in the store.
I didn’t really expect anything from it for its discounted price, but the graphics and multiplayer with a friend were very interesting.
I can tell you about the game itself on the pros and cons:
+Weighs little
+Addicts quite quickly
-Unfortunately, it goes away just as quickly
+The most important advantage is multiplayer, because you can talk about similar games in childhood with a frien
-Easy difficulty level makes it a little boring
+Detail and atmosphere of the game
+Maybe simple, but still there is a storyline
I think this product is quite appropriate and interesting. I give him 8/10 childish vibes. I would like to see a survival mode with a friend, so that there would be waves of enemies, you would have to hide, maybe get some kind of currency for your enemies and upgrade your weapons and gain new abilities. And maybe in the future, if the developer doesn’t abandon his project, I’d like to see a sequel or a similar game

Its not a bad option to scatter everything that moves with a machine gun! 1 tank? Easy! 3 tanks? easy!!! take a base with 6 tanks in the Sollo?! The easiest task for this kid.

I don't know, but I liked the game. The graphics are really nice. The pixel art is just well-drawn. The combat dynamics feel like the good old classic games everyone loves. Some elements are borrowed from modern-gen games. There are some flaws, but overall, it's a solid weekend shooter.

Playing this game feels like returning to my childhood. Thank you to those who were inspired by the 2010s :)
