Lovely Hellplace (Dread Delusion) and DreadXP have not only announced the release date for their horror-tinged homage to turn-based, low polygon RPGs in Entropy, but they’ve also dropped a new demo that’s available now! And you won’t have to wait long to get the full experience, as the game will launch into Early Access on Steam on August 18th.
Inspired by classic JRPG’s, Entropy is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game with an expansive world map, explorable towns filled with colorful characters and a tactical turn-based battle system all woven into a “low poly, PSX-style visual tapestry”.
In this dying age, only pockets of humanity remain. There was no pivotal apocalyptic event to speak of; only the cruel march of time and the inexplicable infertility of the world. Accursed creatures stalk the barren lands between settlements, which are themselves terrible places; squalid, medieval and mostly ruled by tyrants.
Control your party of up to six unique mercenaries, with each one joining your party with their own talents (and preexisting injuries), as you embark on a quest across the poisoned lands to stop a wicked demonic incursion. Target enemy limbs, severing and weakening your foes in Entropy’s tactical turn-based combat. Use your hard-earned currency and items to hire mercenaries to replace your fallen party members, and level up to increase your stats and unlock new perks.
