XBLAZE: CODE EMBRYO is the game true BlazBlue fans have only dreamt about, until now.

GAME FEATURES
- A beautifully drawn, yet simple visual novel with equally-astounding music. As an extension of the BlazBlue universe, Xblaze is a must-play for any fan.
- Set 50 years before the Dark War and 150 years before the events of the first BlazBlue game, Xblaze follows the story of a highschool student who finds the 'Power of the Azure'
- A brilliant translation - without any awkward 'all your base are' sentences - that retains the themes and context throughout.
- A multi-threaded narrative depending on the information that you read - choose the wrong piece of information and bad events can occur.
- Yes, there's a little bit of fan service. And a bathing scene.
