“Hellish” turn-based RPG Entropy will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on August 18, publisher DreadXP and developer Lovely Hellplace announced. A demo is available now.
Here is an overview of the game, via DreadXP:
About
Embracing the retro aesthetic of Dread Delusion, with a new flavor of unsettling locales and disturbing creatures, Entropy trades real-time, first-person combat for tactical turn-based battles inspired by classic JRPGs, featuring a party of up to six adventuring mercenaries faced with staving off the demonic invasion of their world.
In this dying age, only pockets of humanity remain. There was no grand apocalyptic event to speak of; only the cruel march of time and the inexplicable infertility of the world led us here. Accursed creatures stalk the barren lands between settlements, which are themselves terrible places; squalid, medieval, and mostly ruled by tyrants.
This tale begins in the town of Draenog, your theatre performance interrupted by fighting at the gates. Demons have arrived. As a simple thespian, your wooden prop sword will have to do for now; you must gather the troupe and defend yourselves!
So begins your quest as you journey across an expansive world map, littered with explorable towns filled with colorful characters. Forge your path on this expedition to hell to stop the demonic onslaught.
