“By way of analogy, BlazBlue Entropy Effect is to Dead Cells what Synthetik2 is to Hades2 and Monster Train2 is to Sly the Spire2...all of these games are good, and depending on your preferences, you will find one of the…”
“Please Devs change it so you don't have to do an entire playthrough of the original story to unlock the X story, this will take new players like 20+ hours to do so, and I believe that you may lose some new players…”

“I'm a huge fan of Deadcells and have never really been able to find that 2d roguelike 'fix' that I got from it. After having Entropy Effect on my wishlist for the last couple years I finally decided to bite the bullet…”
“The game is fun it`s easy to get use to and the powers u receive look visually awesome. It`s insane that this game is slept on. I am enjoying it alot and cannot put it down once i`m into it. Will definitely recommend.”
“Bought this game on a random whim, had never heard of it. OH MY GOSH. It was my video game lazy day. Played this game for 6 hours straight. The graphics are beautiful, fighting style pulls you in and feels so intuitive,…”

“This game is awesome. It's basically a fighting game turned roguelite. You start with a basic kit and as you play you get passive upgrades "Hades style" and your kit is also expanded granting you more combos, chainable…”
“This is the best roguelite I have ever played because I never once felt like starting over was a punishment or resetting my entire game progress. Not only that, the devs knows how to design tight controls and an…”

“I love side scrolling hack and slash rogue-likes. This is only behind Metroidvanias in my favourite game style. Love it, Tons of characters. They have a slightly different feel. I can't finish with the slow characters.…”

“Still a great action game after the X update in February (2026). Pretty good use of characters. Lots of flashy moves. Still somewhat tricky at the higher difficulties, but overall quite good!”

“Great progression, feels buttery smooth, and allows the player to chose how hard it is for yourself, many builds and Just random enough to be different without being so random it feels hard too find what you may want or…”

“I love this game whole heartedly. But the update unironically made it so unplayable. I get network crashes every-so-often and I can barely play with my friends The Screenclutter makes it so bad where assets dont load or…”

“Fun game, but I'm not playing the game with online lag. Sadly yeah, the online has quite the input lag so if you ever play with someone that's far away well... This might not be the game for you sadly. Of course if you…”

“Fun game, but the beginning of each run feels too repetitive.”
“Fluent motion and integrity. The movement feels responsive. Poor roguelike experience. I aim for potentials (character moveset) to get better character action. Hence I do not free to try tactics but only inherit…”

“Wholeheartedly think that this kind of a spinoff should be done for all the other fighting game franchises. Translating the moves from original fighting games and then expanding them for crazier powerups through roguelite elements is simply brilliant. Withought a doubt - 100%…”
