Dragon Blaze is a shoot 'em up arcade game developed and published in 2000 by Psikyo.
It was ported to the PlayStation 2 as part of Taito's Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol.
Dragon Blaze plays like many typical 2D vertically scrolling shooters by Psikyo, although this game is closer to the bullet hell genre than most of the company's other output and the color of the enemies' bullets has been changed from Psikyo's trademark orange to a neon purple.
The game gives each character (Quaid, Sonia, Ian, Rob) the standard normal shot, charged shot, and magic bomb, but each character also rides a dragon, which can be dismounted and be used as a weapon itself.
The dismounted dragon initially acts as a piercing weapon, and then remains stationary shooting until the player calls it back using the same button.
