What is Entropy?
Entropy is a tactical turn-based RPG developed by Lovely Hellplace and published by DreadXP. It draws inspiration from classic JRPGs and drops you into an expansive retro 3D world that's crumbling under the weight of a demonic incursion. You control a group of mercenaries, each with distinct abilities, who are the last line of defense against the invasion.
Gameplay
The game is built around tactical positioning and turn-based combat encounters. You manage a party of mercenaries with different skills, choosing how to deploy them across the battlefield. Between fights, the open retro 3D world gives you space to explore, meet new characters, and hunt for treasure scattered across the dying land. The aesthetic leans into a distinctly old-school 3D look that sets it apart visually from most contemporary turn-based titles.
