Blaze is a retro/minimalistic styled sci-fi first person flight/shooter action game. The game can be played almost single handedly with just mouse. It's about shooting a lot of alien things (in semi-randomized missions?). The alien things are trying capture all your base, and have already captured at least half of it. You have to defend the base and capture the alien controlled areas back. Or something like that...
Or maybe the Drill/Lance is a fist weapon? So player just sticks his fist inside the weapon and punches/drills enemies with it.
In this the blade part would have some drill like texture.
And about the Scythe.. maybe it's better for enemies?
