There are three different marines you can choose from, each with their own set of weapons.
As usual there is the balanced character (Johnny Rock), a weaker but faster one (Pamela Hewitt) and a slower but stronger one (Nicholas Woods).
You can choose to play in one player mode, time attack or two player mode.
The missions are broken up into small areas where you have to kill all enemies before moving on to the next area.
Each mission ends with a boss character such as a giant insect or a Godzilla-like monster.
Use the X, Y or B buttons to choose a weapon, press A to charge and shoot and aim with analog stick.
There are different types of weapons that can be used on the different types of enemies.
For example the single missiles for far away targets and torpedoes for underwater enemies.
You can fire your weapon continuously, but this doesn't do as much damage compared to a fully charged shot.
Charging each shot means you have to aim a little more carefully, but you'll especially need this in the later levels.
You can dodge enemies with the L and R buttons.
About Sega Dreamcast
Sega's final console, the Dreamcast (1998/1999), was ahead of its time with built-in internet connectivity and an influential library, but a short commercial lifespan cut its game catalog short. That abrupt end means Dreamcast print runs were smaller across the board than a longer-lived console would have had, and it's now one of the more actively collected fifth/sixth-generation systems specifically because of that scarcity.
Gamevaro tracks Charge 'n Blast for Sega Dreamcast with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Charge 'n Blast to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This DC release dates back to 2001.
