Play BlaZeon (Japan) Online
Grabbing enemy ships and turning them into your own weapons feels janky at first, but once you learn which ones won’t blow up in your hands, you’re suddenly piloting a stolen battleship through waves of mecha anime knockoffs. The controls fight you a little, but that chaos is part of the charm.
BlaZeon came out on the Super Nintendo in 1992, published by Atlus. It was part of that wave of shooters that tried to stand out with a unique mechanic, rather than just more bullets or bigger explosions. The game has a very distinct look, with large, detailed sprites and a gritty sci-fi aesthetic that felt a little different from the brighter, more colorful competitors on the system.
You pilot a ship that can latch onto specific enemy craft, absorb them, and then fire their weapons back at the opposition. Your main goal is to survive each stage, defeating a boss at the end. The core loop involves carefully choosing which enemies to grab, since only certain types are capturable, and managing your limited stock of captured weapons. The pacing is deliberate; you can't just rush in. It feels like solving a small puzzle with each new wave of enemies, deciding the best tool for the job before everything gets too chaotic.
