Entropy Sets Early Access Launch for August 18, Drops Playable Demo and Trailer

The demo lets players test core combat and mercenary systems so the developer can gather feedback before the Early Access release.

Overview

  • Lovely Hellplace and publisher DreadXP announced on Monday that Entropy will enter Early Access on PC via Steam on August 18 and released a playable demo plus a new release-date trailer.
  • The demo highlights Entropy’s tactical, turn-based combat that lets players control parties of up to six mercenaries and target enemy limbs to sever or disable body parts.
  • The game includes a mercenary-replacement system that lets you hire new fighters to replace permakillable party members and a progression system for leveling and unlocking perks.
  • Entropy is set in a dying, post-apocalyptic world that begins in the town of Draenog and uses a retro low-poly, PS1-style aesthetic that echoes Lovely Hellplace’s earlier Dread Delusion.
  • The Early Access launch means players will encounter a work-in-progress build and developers plan iterative updates after release, with the demo serving as a public preview of core systems and tone.
