BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is a roguelite action game set in the BlazBlue universe, featuring striking 2D visuals, stylish, fast-paced combat, and precise, responsive controls.

Command a line-up of unique characters from the renowned BlazBlue franchise and dive into an unparalleled action experience.

At a mysterious domain, known as “the Lab”, a group of elite researchers race to save a collapsing world; however, despite their efforts to date, Dr. Mercurius, head of the laboratory, still warns the world’s downfall is near.

In a last-ditch effort, the urgent Research of Possibility initiative seeks to collect Shards of Possibility – a special fragment of the world that could forestall the seemingly inevitable destruction. These shards lie within the Sea of Possibility, a realm between worlds, beyond the bounds of reality.
The protagonist, Ace, is the only being capable of diving into this sea. Guided by the elite researchers at the Lab, Ace descends again and again in pursuit of salvation—until strange visions take hold and his body begins to change.

As Ace continues to dive, countless memories flood his mind, and the truth behind the collapsing world – and the research itself – begins to surface....

“……The Power of Azure.”


Developer 91Act and publisher Astrolabe Games announced a free Day 1 crossover collaboration with Dead Cells and ICEY.

The Beheaded, protagonist of Dead Cells, and ICEY, the heroine of ICEY, will both be available as free playable characters at launch. Players can unlock them by completing special crossover stages inspired by their respective titles.

In BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, The Beheaded’s playstyle faithfully recreates the deep and flexible combat mechanics of Dead Cells. By switching between different weapon loadouts, players can wield a wide variety of iconic weapons from the original game and freely combine attacks to create diverse combat strategies. Meanwhile, ICEY features a completely distinct resource system and visual presentation compared to other characters, with her fully voiced crossover stage recreating the original game’s signature meta-narrative storytelling.
