Rogueliker

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.”

You can check out a trailer for the demo below:

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
