Blaze On is a horizontal shoot 'em up developed by Japanese studio Sozensha in the late 90s, with an aesthetic and level design that deliberately evoke the great shooters of the previous generation, with a single protagonist, weapon power-ups, and large mechanical bosses.
It's representative of a late wave of auteur shooters that kept appearing even when the genre no longer dominated arcades, made for an audience closely following the specialized Japanese shmup scene.
