Entropy, a deliciously miserable Final Fantasy-esque RPG where your party members can permanently die, is now out in early access
I was already aware of Entropy before Edwin called it a game that looked like a PS1 game fished from a toilet , primarily thanks to the stellar work developer Lovely Hellplace carried out in their previous game Dread Delusion , but I'm sure that would have hooked me in conceptually just as easily. And now you can dive into this turn-based, post-apocalyptic RPG yourself, as it's launched into…
Entropy, a turn-based RPG with post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Final Fantasy, has entered early access. Developer Lovely Hellplace has poured their passion into this misery-filled world where the passage of time and infertility have led to a severely depleted human population. Players take control of a party whose members can tragically perish, adding an XCOM-like pressure to the gameplay.
The game kicks off in a theater performance, but this is quickly interrupted by the arrival of demons, forcing the player to defend themselves before venturing towards hell. With an overworld to explore and turn-based combat reminiscent of classic RPGs, Entropy also features valuable items like weapons, armors, and spells to collect.
The early access release includes the first act, or roughly a quarter of the game, encompassing two towns, three dungeons, and numerous smaller locations. The team aims to provide a rich and immersive RPG experience, with two more acts to follow in the next year. For those unsure, a demo is available, or you can simply purchase it on Steam.
