The Legacy of BlazBlue:

BlazBlue is a 2D Fighting game, developed, and released by Arc System Works.

The first entry of the series, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, was released in Japan arcades in 2008. It has since been ported over to consoles and released worldwide, gaining international recognition and fans around the globe.

 

Roguelite Action Game Merging Side-scrolling Adventures with Metroidvania Exploration

The current version features four themed stages, namely "Night City, Ruins, Research Base, and Sakura City," along with a procedurally generated large Metroidvania map known as "Omega Space."

Each stage boasts unique environments packed with distinct enemies and randomized boss encounters. After clearing the initial three stages, players dive into the exploration map "Omega Space", which regenerates with each run.

"Omega Space" presents varied terrains and mechanisms, coupled with the onslaught of foes, ramping up the game's difficulty. Players can build characters in their own way, refine their combat strategies, and immerse themselves in the game's unique blend of Roguelite × Action.

Advanced Mode

The game features 10 bosses, each with unique mechanics, and over 50 distinct enemies. For hardcore gamers seeking the utmost challenge, an Advanced Training Mode has been included. This mode, unlockable after completing the game on standard difficulty, elevates the challenge.

In this mode, enemies are more aggressive and attack more often. Bosses morph into evolved forms with new mechanics. Only players with precise decision-making and adept gameplay can hope to survive and triumph in this high-difficulty setting.

(Hardcore Mode)

The main story unfolds primarily through dialogue choices, with different decisions shaping the narrative's direction. As players delve deeper, what initially appears as a subtle plot gradually emerges, touching upon themes of mission, trust, and salvation. Players will be faced with numerous dialogue decisions, which will determine the storyline's direction and ending, crafting an immersive and memorable journey. 

Within the battles, players can obtain "Phenomena Fragments". Collecting these "Phenomena Fragments" gradually reveals the hidden truths. By assembling these Fragments, players can access special videos to dive deeper into the game's lore.
