Dragon Blaze is the seventh installment in the vertical-scrolling shooter series developed by Zerodiv and published by KMBOX. Players control one of four distinct characters, each piloting a ship that can split into two, altering attack patterns. This mechanic, known as "Dragon Shoot," allows for close-range devastating attacks and strategic repositioning of the separated dragon companion.
The game incorporates a "Dragon Shoot" system where the player's ship separates into two components, drastically changing offensive capabilities. This system is central to gameplay, enabling powerful close-range attacks and earning bonus points through "Gold Coins" dropped by enemies defeated by Dragon Shoot. Each of the four playable characters possesses unique abilities and a specific dragon companion, influencing their shot types, magic attacks, and special bombs, catering to both novice and experienced players.
