About: At a mysterious domain, known as “the Lab”,a group of elite researchers race to save a collapsing word; however, despite their efforts to date, Dr. Mercurius, head of the laboratory, still warns the world’s downfall is near. In a last-ditch effort, the urgent *Research of Possibility* initiative seeks to collect *Shards of Possibility*—a special fragment of the world that could forestall the seemingly inevitable destruction. These shards lie within the *Sea of Possibility*, a realm between worlds, beyond the bounds of reality. Our protagonist, *Ace*, is the only being capable of diving into this sea. Guided by the elite researchers at *the Lab*, Ace descends again and again in pursuit of salvation—until strange visions take hold and his body begins to change. As Ace continues to dive, countless memories flood his mind, and the truth behind the collapsing world—and the research itself—begins to surface….
It is worth noting that BlazBlue Entropy Effect X was previously released on Steam, as BlazBlue Entropy Effect, and is considered a very positive experience as well as a welcome addition to the BLAZBLUE universe.
