PlayStation 5 owners have a nice surprise this month: a roguelike action game inspired by the cyberpunk universe is available for free on their console, without the need for a PlayStation Plus subscription. BlazBlue Entropy Effectdeveloped by 91Act, offers a playable demo now, with the first three levels accessible at no cost.
While many players are still waiting for news on the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, this hybrid experience between Hollow Knight And Cyberpunk falls at the right time. It offers a dark atmosphere, fast combat and ultra dynamic sensations, while being perfectly adapted to the PS5 controller.
A fluid and spectacular action experience
BlazBlue Entropy Effect stands out for its frenetic gameplay and variety of approaches. In the free demo, you will be able to choose between three different characters: Ragna, Is And Hibiki. Each has a unique style, unique moves and combos to master to survive in a chaotic future.
The game mixes roguelike mechanics – with permanent death that can send you back to the beginning – with very technical combat. The fluidity of combos, visual effects and elemental skills give a feeling of constant power, even in the most intense phases.
The game universe is directly inspired by the cyberpunk aesthetic: neon lights, dystopian settings, digital interfaces and a dark atmosphere form a coherent and impactful whole for fans of the genre.
An original story in a cyberpunk world
Even though it is a spin-off of the series BlazBlue, Entropy Effect offers an independent storyline, accessible to both newbies and long-time fans. In this future where the world has descended into chaos, humans enter a cyberspace called ACEhoping to find a solution to reverse the crisis.
This narrative, while secondary to the main series, provides enough context and intrigue to hook players into progression. This blend of story and tactical gameplay enhances immersion, even in a limited free-to-play version.
