It was released globally in Early-Access on Steam on August 16th, 2023, followed by the full release on January 31st, 2024.[1]. The Android and iOS versions are currently only confirmed for Chinese markets.

Synopsis

Blazblue Entropy Effect is a Roguelite action game, a derivative of the original Blazblue license. Enter a world where the real and the false are intertwined and dangerous, and explore deeply again and again -- the wharf under the neon night, the desolate and dilapidated ruins, the mysterious natural laboratory Several worlds with different styles are waiting to be discovered. There are not only unknown enemies, but also hidden stories. Accept the baptism of battle, become a stronger self, and then evolve from chaos.[2]

Gameplay

BlazBlue Entropy Effect's main gameplay loop revolves around playing Mind Training and progressing through the story mode that takes place outside of the runs. In the main hub you control a robot known as an ACER, a participant in the ACER Program, who is given tasks for your from various characters that involve completing challenges in Mind Training. These tasks eventually lead to you doing your Mind Upload, a key stage to the ACER Program. In Mind Training, you choose one of eleven characters and fight several enemies and bosses while upgrading your character in preparation for the final boss battle against Susano'o.

Modes

Mind Training

Mind Training is the main mode you'll play in BlazBlue Entropy Effect as it is where you'll get the majority of progress and rewards during play. Mind Training's difficulty can be changed before a run by adding effects that hinder your ability to clear the game such as a timer or gaining debuffs every stage. Going from 0 to 100, this number is known as the Entropy level and it increases as you add more difficulties.

A run of Mind Training consist of choosing a character, going through four Stages, each with 7-8 levels and one of two bosses at the end for each Stage. After defeating the fourth boss you go to the Omega Space, a Dead Cells-esque stage where you'll have the opportunity to visit a shop, fight two more bosses, and then challenge Susano'o. If at any point you die or you defeat Susano'o, you get the opportunity to save the Evotype to be used in other modes and to pass down their Legacy Skill and two Tactics to another character for a new run.

Mind Training has a Online Co-Op mode as well where two players can work together to complete the training. In Co-Op mode, the two players must agree on choices for each level. When one person dies, they will be revived when the other player completes the level. The Omega Space at the end is different in Co-Op, where you'll instead be presented with several options that consist of increasing your Max MP, Max HP, Exchange Points, Shops, two random bosses, and the final boss whenever you want to.

Mind Challenge

Mind Challenge is a secondary game mode you unlock after completing Mind Upload: (getting this information). Here, you'll be presented with the twenty bosses excluding the final boss. The first ten bosses are in their Normal Mode, where they have less attacks and less HP. The latter ten bosses are their Hard Mode variants where they have more attacks and different attack patterns. Some bosses become drastically harder in Hard Mode such as Oread, the final available boss in Mind Challenge.

When you challenge a boss, you use one of your saved Evotypes from a previous Mind Training session to take on the boss. If you lose to the boss, that saved Evotype will be unavailable to use again for any boss unless you spend AP, albeit a small amount, to use them again. When you defeat the boss, you'll unlock the next boss in the list and you'll be able to challenge the boss you defeated with any character with no consequences for losing. There is no reward for challenging these except the "Effortless" achievement when you complete all twenty bosses perfectly with at least one character.
