About BlazBlue
BlazBlue runs from Calamity Trigger in 2008 through Continuum Shift, Chrono Phantasma and Central Fiction, plus the Cross Tag Battle crossover and the Entropy Effect roguelike. Ragna's war with the Novus Orbis Librarium threads a visual novel's worth of story through the arcade lineage.
Play in release order for the story, but newcomers to the versus scene should start at Central Fiction or Cross Tag. The story modes recap generously on arrival, so late entry costs lore rather than competence. Entropy Effect sits apart as a single player spin that needs no fighting literacy.
Good to know
Central Fiction closed the main saga in 2015, with Cross Tag and Entropy Effect continuing the brand sideways rather than forward. The series is quiet with no fifth main entry announced. The story library functions alone summarize the older games, so completists can read rather than fight through the backlog.
