The creator of Dread Delusion is making a turn-based JRPG set in another Morrowindy fantasy world

Lead your acting troupe against muck-faced demons

Dread Delusion developers Lovely Hellplace and their sinister backers astatine DreadXP person announced Entropy - a turn-based enactment RPG inspired by classical Japanese RPGs, which retains Dread Delusion’s fungal pixel aesthetics.

Like Final Fantasy 9, it starts with a theatre show. You play a fertile thespian initially equipped with a elemental prop sword. But past horrible creatures clang the stage, and it’s clip to armour up your troupe and quest distant to snuff retired a demon incursion. What’s the champion Shakespeare enactment to invoke here, hmm. Ah yes: “target their elemental weaknesses!” Hamlet said that earlier helium shanked Polonius done the curtain. No, don’t google to check, beloved scholar – I americium successful haste. Quickly, ticker the beneath trailer.

“In this dying age, lone pockets of humanity remain,” expounds the property release. “There was nary expansive apocalyptic lawsuit to talk of; lone the cruel march of clip and the inexplicable infertility of the satellite led america here. Accursed creatures stalk the barren lands betwixt settlements, which are themselves unspeakable places; squalid, medieval, and mostly ruled by tyrants.” Ah, you'd astir fishy that Lovely Hellspace laminitis James Wragg lives successful England.

Having escaped the backwater-sounding burg of Draenog, you're near to marque consciousness of an “expansive” satellite map. I’m funny to cognize if Entropy volition proceed with the pocket-sized and Morrowind-flavoured, unfastened world-ish format of Dread Delusion. You’ll stitchery a enactment of up to six characters, with the enactment of hiring mercs if immoderate comrades get slain. There is levelling, needless to say, encompassing stat boosts and unlockable perks.

I’m not wildly convinced by the snippets of conflict from the trailer, which look a spot by-the-numbers, but it’s bully to beryllium engulfed by different dreadful delusion. The caller RPG is coming to Steam successful 2026.
