The only thing harder than completing a blazeblue roguelike would be understanding a single strand of its timeline.

The complexity of the timeliness is just understanding the "everything is canon" stuff. Just cut out the non essential loops and it gets waaaaaay easier to understand

Game was developed by a third party developer that seems to have acquired licensing rights halfway through development. If anyone is expecting to play this as a piece of the Blazblue series, be aware that it is completely unrelated to the Blazblue universe.

It is sorta related, though, sorta unrelated when you listen to the story. Like they make references to the characters and all that. Because the game is early access we do not know too well however how the connections will deepen

There are a few similarities like the particles in EE’s world that cover the surface, forcing people to live in a floating city. Which is similar to how seither covered the sruface in BB forcing people to live on the top of mountains. So maybe there’s something that they’ll work on to connect them

Noel is mostly a rushdown character, particularly in BBCF, at least in my experience. She focuses more on getting those setups and bringing in the damage through massive chaining combos so from the video it kind of looks like her power level being a bit lower was intentional. I haven't played this myself yet though so I could be wrong. I just thought I'd mention it haha

@shadedaemon5933

Yeah she is, her drive is a good example of it. They probably made her use her gun more cuz it's a completely different genre, and it's not like BB has a lot of ranged characters

if this isn’t too much extra work I would love it if you do these between big videos more often!

After playing 30+ vampire survivor like roguelikes this one has definitely got my interest. I saw it and passed it up, but you did a very good job of selling it lol

bro this looks nothing like vampire survivors tho the only similarity is being a roguelike

Damn, that entropy effect reminds me of the Malaise effect from Dead Cells, which if it reaches 100% it will kill you, and any form of dmg can add to it, and the only thing that can reduce the % is your health pot.

I hope they add characters like Hazama and Azrael. Also if by some miracle Arcsys is checking out the comment section, please add the Entropy Effect character palettes to Central Fiction, that glow in the dark neon Hakumen is too fire to not have in more than one game.

I am honestly surprised that nobody before thought "Hey you know how cool the combat in fighting games is? Why dont we make a rougelike that plays like a fighting game", like once its out in the room like this, it seems like the most obvious idea yet no one cashed in on that golden goose

More BlazBlue is never a bad thing. Since the game is in early access at the moment I am holding out hope for more of my fav characters to make it over. So hopefully the game does well enough in sales for them to keep expanding. It definitely has a great foundation already in place so here is hoping more positive word of mouth will do this game good. So thank you Skooch for spreading the good word :D

I never knew I needed something more than today. Holly hell. Now I need a Smash Melee roguelike where you just wavedash everywhere. Celeste with combat pls.

i remember i randomly picked up blazblue to play v 13 like two years ago and wished for a game like this, just so i can put enemies in a 20 second combo of blades from portals, this game is just soo close to perfect

Great video Skooch, keep em coming.

Blazblue and many other arc systems series are some of my favorite fighting games ever and to see them expanding into new genres is exciting and hope they continue to make more in the future

Absolutely love Blazblue, Played plenty of fighters before but the first game in the BB series was the first fighter i put massive time into. Saw a trailer for this a long time ago and never thought we'd get it Glad i saw your video cause i am extremely excited for it.

I've been playing this a lot recently since I'm both a roguelike fan and a BlazBlue fan, I mostly use Kokonoe who's a pressure god with insane potentials, the final boss is hecking fun especially on advanced training mode that you unlock after a win.

You are the reason I started loving roguelikes. Found a small one you might like which is still in production: Space order mine

I kept seeing murmurings about this all over the internet and it was making me salivate like a dog staring at a bone, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you making this video to go over the game. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go pick up my new BlazBlue obsession

I was waiting for this review so badly

Blazblue video with UnderNight music from Skooch? Truly, Renessaince of Fighters has come once again. Even if it’s not a fighter by definition.

Funny enough, one of the blazblue games had a single player mode, that was essentially a rogue like, it had you ascend through various fights, picking up randomized buffs along the way, with stronger buffs being unlocked for following runs

Love this. So glad you uploaded this im buying it now. Thank you for the awareness

Hell yeah! A skooch video about roguelites. LETS GOOOOOOOOO

BlazBlue was the first fighting game I loved, and it's still my favorite, so I'm really looking forward to playing this when the original JP dub is out.

Skooch slowly embracing his roguelike arc.

Ragna equipped with Hibiki and Lambda-11 is pretty crazy. Love the synergy.

I purchased and played this the day it released, and Hakumen is so fun to play and makes the game so much easier by have a parry button.

This looks excellent!

There was a game a bit back from Neowiz called Blade Assault, pretty much this game with a few differences and more pixely(not pixel) art. Just as fun looking, but they had abandoned the game. So....happy to see this seems like it'd give the same feeling.

i soo hope that there will be all ost liek in fighting games where u can choose song like the ost is only flames or they could allow u to make ur own playlist before runs

Thank you for introducing me to this game it looks sick.

How have I never heard of this? I love Blazblue!

Looks so cool

Yes! This is what I wanted a soulsbourne style Rouge-like with fighting game combos. Something that feels as high-energy and slashy as DmC 2013. Now will this come to Switch? All we have is Bayonetta.

holy shit, combo oriented dead cells?! PUT THAT SHIT IN MY VEINS!

Great. Now I want a Devil May Cry Roguelike

This video made me buy it and I accidentally found a cheese and beat the game! Ive never felt this powerful! Thank you for making this video

Arc system works is that one studio who sniffed just... Too much crack and said "fuck it well make one of the most beloved fighting games based on dragon ball" then "fuck it lets name our protagonist after freddy mercury and the grappler after a russian boat" then "fuck it. Rougelike fighting game." And then many years later evolve that into a full game. Fyi arcsys kinda had rouglikes with their oldschool survival modes in ggxx and blazblue. Good to see that become a full thing

When i too checked it on steam that a blazeblue rogue is available out of nowhere i was surprised too

9:06 *trying desperatly to silence laughter*

Skooch the goat of roguelikes

I love roguelikes, and I was SOOOOOO excited for Have A Nice Death because of its amazing atmosphere, artwork, and music, but I was sooooo dissapointed by its gameplay. I love the atmosphere of Blazblue. I am so glad to hear good things about this game because roguelikes are so easy to drop the ball on

can't wait to see you play it on stream :DD

This game looks fantastic damn

Adding the UNI soundtrack to the song list for this video shows that he did his homework on fighting game fans. I love it.

So basically the way the world gets harder is kinda like curse of the old gods. That rouge like we're you gain corruption each floor until you get game changing curses that make your run harder

man no cap Es is so fun, when you get almost all the potential it feels so satisfying

This actually seems super cool!

I got this game day one and haven't been able to put it down either. It's just to good. Also Mai is fun as hell!

this convinced me. got it

BLAZBLUE VIDEO FROM SKOOCH?! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

i love this game, i played the blazblue series a bit, and i was so surprised how it actually uses the combo of the fighters in there

Can't wait to see how Terumi survived this time

The game had a sale for the week after its release, its gone now, BUT I'LL BUY THIS MINDBLOWING CONCEPT OF A GAME ANYWAY, TY

great video showcasing a really cool game that I definitely will try out, but people should know that this really is a BlazBlue game in name only, added as an IP to the original game late in development. It is not set in the world of BlazBlue, it does not connect to the narrative of the other games, and the characters could just as well have been swapped out for any other IP. STILL THOUGH, it looks dope as heck and has great reviews so thanks for bringing it to my attention with this video, I simply wanted to point that out 💖

looking sick can't wait for the cracked version

The dev did way better than i expect tbh From a mobile dev that did a weird Blazblue mobile game to this

Algrothim knows what's up, saw the game on steam and was like, mmmm do I want another side stroller on my libary? Papa Skooch has answered yes, yes I do

Tbh at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Skooch already died and began a second run of life youtube streamer big man just to get a new PB

I just need my boy Naoto Kurogane and im hooked for life.

I diffinitely gonna watch ya stream play tis game .. Im already done what's early access has to offer but i still come bacc and play .. Its so addictive :)

Never thougth i would see you playing Blazblue

The entropy mechanic reminds me of the curses from Curse of the dead gods. Also a really cool game

"Fighting game giant" gave me a giggle adter I seen what game it was lmao

They chose the right person to show their game

Gellot's vid was great, but Skooch's commentary and review really shows this games potential... Really glad Ark System Works sponsored you. Oh how I looked foward to when this releases on Xbox!

I looks fancy but I'm disappointed for two reason. Toshimichi Mori the creator of blazblue left ark systems and having played all the blazblue games I can tell that they reused all the old animation from the last fighting game and put new effects over them.

If there is one person I can trust with their rogue tastes it's Skootch. Got damn this game is good.

title got me excited i knew only one game that fit the bill

so skooch do you wanna learn blazblue lore? same energy as "you wanna learn how to do a fukin infinite?"

Mah boy Jin Kisaragi has just been released so will download the game soon. Can't wait to freeze enemies to death!

Yeah, the story is a separate thing. You just have the BlazBlue characters there. It isn't developed by Arc System but another studio. However, the game is licensed, so yeah, BlazBlue Roguelike

I've been a colossal Blazblue fan since Calamity Trigger so seeing this makes me very happy. While I would prefer it to be a fighting game, Hades and Dead Cells have pulled me into the world of Roguelikes/lites so this game still sparks joy. A little confused as to why Ragna is locked at the start though. Also needs more Azrael, Bullet, Kagura, Makoto and something wacky like Nine the Phantom.

Pretext - I recommend the game! It looks great and is tons of fun! Don't let my comment discourage you from trying it if you want a game specifically for difficulty. Honestly, I bought the game and I absolutely love it. I do have one singular gripe with it though - It's too easy, even on advanced training mode. Sure, in terms of bossfights Susanoo and the girl (forgot the name) in Omega are difficult, but the rest? Not so much. Neither the normal enemies nor bosses scratch that itch for me. Like sure, there is difficulty in player mechanics through advanced combo chains you can create, but there it is - you _can_ - it's not demanded from the player, it's also not needed for certain enemies that are tanky. Though this is perfectly understandable since not everyone wants that kind of challenge. Another issue with the combo chains, if you do try them, is super armor since you can possibly get hit out of them. That can also happen by there being multiple targets that are not all locked in the combo. Point is - I'd like for there to perhaps be a system that would allow you to tweak difficulty to both make it easier, or harder if you want to. Doesn't have to be much, for example enemy attack frequency, enemy health, player damage taken could all be adjustable values. Maybe even additional enemy spawns during bossfights, or bossfight modifiers in a form other than entropy debuffs. Just my two cents on the game difficulty, but take it with a grain of salt since I love roguelikes and obsess over game mechanics to an unhealthy degree. That being said, I am well aware that you are not a dev, and to everyone - enjoy the game! It's great and I encourage you all to give it a try ^^ Edit - spelling

9:13 he doesn't know

i dont get it, do you have to do some quarter circle inputs to play this game? what do you mean by it plays like a fighting game?

The irony of a random mechanic reducing entropy is not lost on me.

"This rogue like blew my expectations" I guess... it even Blaz-blew them! *badum-tss*

yo i like blazblue and didnt even know this was a thing thanks also why has max not placed this yet

Minute into the video and I’m praying for motion input specials. Will see how this plays out….

not the first time this has happened tbf

this game is dead cells in a hades progression system while playing a fighting game character. its awesome
