Ahead of its console launch next month, BlazBlue Entropy Effect X has received a new time-limited demo on PS5 and Switch.
The demo includes the first three levels of the game and enables players to take control of Ragna, Es, and Hibiki. Save data from the demo sadly won’t carry over to the full game, but users who played the demo will be able to unlock an “exclusive in-game item” at launch.
As mentioned, the demo is time-limited and is available until BlazBlue Entropy Effect X launches on PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series on February 12, 2026.
Mike was particularly fond of the side-scrolling beat ’em up when he reviewed the game following its arrival on mobile. In his review, he said: “As for the moment-to-moment gameplay in BlazBlue Entropy Effect, the fluid controls, spectacular battles, and tightly-packed arena encounters result in some of the most eye-catching combat in the roguish space.”

Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.
Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.
Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2 | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all. There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
