Kill your party for infinite resources in an RPG
Entropy: Where Permadeath Meets Post-Apocalyptic Fun
Step into the smoky, fractured world of Entropy, a turn-based RPG that is proving to be a deeply satisfying, funky dive into the heart of high-stakes adventure. Available now in early access, this game manages to blend the classic, deep mechanics of titles like Fallout 1 with a distinctly modern, PC-centric flair.
Lead developer James Wragg has clearly drawn inspiration from a rich tapestry of gaming history, weaving together the gritty, post-apocalyptic feel of Fallout and the epic, sprawling lore found in Games Workshop’s tabletop Mordheim. This fusion creates a unique atmosphere where every decision carries significant weight, setting the stage for unforgettable mercenary quests.
But what truly sets Entropy apart is its willingness to embrace ambition. While the game features an ambitious permadeath system—a feature that adds a thrilling edge to the proceedings—developer Wragg assures players that skilled gameplay can see them through the trials with minimal casualties. This tension between high risk and high reward is the core hook of the experience.
The concept of loss is central to the narrative. It mirrors the feeling of intense engagement found in games like Star Wars Zero Company, where the potential for character demise lends extra weight to the story and achievements. This commitment to consequence transforms simple mercenary hiring into a genuine, personal struggle.
Beyond the brutal mechanics, Wragg has prioritized the player’s desire for narrative depth. The game focuses heavily on authored companions and side stories, underscoring a philosophy that side quests aren’t just filler—they are essential narrative threads. This focus suggests that the world of Entropy is populated not just by mercenaries, but by memorable characters worth rooting for.
Those who have sampled the early access demo are already buzzing about the potential. Entropy offers a compelling mix of tactical combat, deep lore, and player-driven storytelling. If you are looking for a turn-based adventure that respects your choices and rewards deep exploration, the door to this mushroom-hellscape is wide open.
You can experience the initial bite of this wild journey for free via the demo, and dive into the full early access experience for $12 on Steam.
