Release Date: July 29, 2021
Shoot 'em up and platformer game, kept in retro style. In Blaster Master Zero 3 we play as Jason, who travels through various stages (on foot or by vehicle) and eliminates hordes of enemies.
Blaster Master Zero 3 is the next part of the series of platform shoot'em ups, started in 1988, and at the same time the third installment of the Zero sub-series, started in 2017. It was developed by Inti Creates studio, which has in its portfolio such projects as games under the Azure Striker Gunvolt brands.
The main hero of Blaster Master Zero 3 is Jason, a hero known from the previous parts of the series. One last task awaits the protagonist, which is to save his partner - Eve. To complete it, the hero has to return to the place where his journey began, the planet Sophia.
As in previous installments of the series, gameplay in Blaster Master Zero 3 is based on two pillars. When we control the protagonist's vehicle, we observe the action from the side, and the game consists of jumping on platforms, avoiding numerous traps and shooting enemies. However, when Jason leaves the machine, his actions are presented from the top-down view, and the game becomes a simple shoot'em up, in which we dash ahead and eliminate hosts of enemies. Struggles in both modes are varied by skirmishes with powerful bosses. What's more, as you progress, you develop both Jason and his vehicle, which increases your combat potential and allows you to face more challenges.
Blaster Master Zero 3 is deeply rooted in the retro sphere not only in of mechanics, but also the audiovisual layer. The colourful graphics of this game have been designed using the pixel art technique.

Cubed3: 7 / 10
Blaster Master Zero 3 heavily expects its audience to have played the first two titles in the modern Blaster Master series, so it's hard not to bring them up when writing about the former. Small localisation errors and a couple of obtuse navigation moments aside, it is the most polished title in the series, and long-time fans, plus people who grew up with the NES, will appreciate the added challenge. It's never too hard to tackle, however, although it's commitment to being "retro" can be a double-edged sword in some instances, like when a death can be blamed on unintentionally sticking to a wall and then sliding down into an abyss. The gameplay loop is just as fun as it ever was, though, so more of that can't ever be a bad thing. It might get ignored for being the third instalment, or not seeming as fresh as the next retro indie darling that's hot for this week, but it really shouldn't be. This is bona fide retro goodness at its finest. Blaster Master 4Ever!
Hey Poor Player: 4.5 / 5 by Benny Carrillo
This is one of those games where you don’t need to wait for a sale. $15 is not a high asking price for this game. It’s a steal, in my opinion. It took me approx. 17 hours to complete the game to 100% though that’s with including me being completely stumped. You’ll be able to finish the main campaign in about 5-6 hours. With another 2-3 to tackle the final area. The rest of my time was spent searching for how to access the true ending. So, a casual playthrough will probably last about 7-9 hours. And trust me, Blaster Master Zero III is an enjoyable 7-9 hours. Here’s hoping that this is not the end for this fantastic franchise or its cast.

If you're a fan of the classic Blaster Master games but hate the hair pulling difficulty, this modern take will still offer an enjoyable challenge and is easy to recommend. Should you be a returning fan, don't wait to take one last ride into the Sunsoft sunset, or maybe I should call it the sunset Sunsoft?
