Entropy

Act 1 was great, very much looking forward to future updates

While there are definitely some parts of the game that need some more time in the oven, Entropy is already shaping up to be an incredible game. The world is like if you force fed a medieval peasant a lethal dosage of acid, made them wander the woods for a week, and then wrote down everything they said. it's easily my favorite part of this game, and while the dialogue is well written, it's the funky setting that makes everything work. The music is quite good as well, especially the battle themes, and it all comes together to make this game feel really alien. I also ended up getting quite invested in my band of mercs, although I wish they had some more camp dialogue. As for gameplay, I think the game is pretty solid. The bulk of the gameplay is killing a bunch of randos, using that gold to hire mercs, and then leveling up these mercs. You can also give your mercs special abilities, like making them a ghostbuster or a kleptomaniac, which makes all of them feel more unique. There are also some side dungeons which offer a nice alternative to grinding on the world map. I do have a couple of gripes about combat though: 1. Targeting is practically useless outside of one random encounter. I landed 9 part hits on the endboss and got no part breaks, and regular encounters are too easy to try and use them. 2. Regular enemies are a cake walk, which makes sense because it would be annoying to lose your entire party to a random encounter, but maybe there can be a balance? I think if death was more uncommon (or maybe started uncommon but scaled with injuries) but enemies dealt more damage, general encounters would be a bit more engaging. 3. The perks that are there just aren't that interesting. Except for getting one guy to deal with ghosts, it pretty much felt like there was no reason to grab anything but "the perk" (Spellcasters grab upgraded magic, physical fighters grab more damage) All in all, the game is really quite good. The complaints listed here are quite nit picky, I honestly enjoyed every second of this game, and I'm looking forward to the full release. 9/10

So good really glad I found this! Can't wait for the full release to be able to play more!

Initial impressions. Review subject to change. The developer from Dread Delusion has leared from their last game that you can't render an entire game into a single instance and many PCs can't handle the graphical load. Entropy has shown improvements to game optimization, but not much improvement. The game still suffers from optimization issues. My devices still chug and burn up under graphical load. The graphics look simple and should run on anything but in reality this game runs worse than other games with higher graphics and higher budgets. If the developer can lear from this, the word is [Optimization] and [Compression Techniques]. You have to make your game run smaller. Don't just assume because you made a game on a 5000$ PC in a air condition environment, that your target audience can do the same. We cannot. So graphics, gameplay, and story are all permissable but you have to tone down those uncompressed files.

Игра имеет хороший потенциал, бесит конечно всякие мелочи по типу камеры и медленного передвижения + игре нужно работать над балансом. Надеюсь на хорошее будущее игры

hell yeah, its cooking

Fun tactics gameplay! Crunchy, purposeful retro graphics with amazing illustrations! And a great story reminiscent of Wolfe and Vance novels. Can't wait to see what else is coming!

More low resolution weirdness and artyness.

Tried the demo version out, and really liked how the game presented itself, so it was a no-hesitation purchase for me. The visuals are great, just enough to give everything a unique impression. Yet another win for solid sense of art direction. Fixed camera and such evoke a nice old school feel, and low poly 3D combined with more intricate 2D portrait splashes create a lasting impression. The game’s world feels whimsical and exciting to explore. Visuals, however, aren’t the only thing carrying the game, because combat is solid as well and meshes perfectly with the overall style, turn-based is really appreciated as it allows you to set your own pace and doesn’t overwhelm. Level design combines traversing the world map and the locations scattered around it, and man do I love seeing the character under my control shuffle around the world map... However, I really wish the soundtrack received more polish and variety, because as of now, it gets quite repetitive. With the game currently in early access, there isn’t an awful lot to do, but I have faith the developer is going to deliver, as what’s already present got me hooked. Entropy is there to satiate all your PSX era crunch crave!
