Developer Moonfall plans to evoke the spirit of early Fallout games with its upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG, Entropy. The studio has also cited a long-abandoned Warhammer spin-off as a key inspiration, aiming to blend survival, exploration, and deep role-playing elements.
Entropy will feature a turn-based combat system reminiscent of classic RPGs. The game world is designed to be reactive to player choices, with a focus on crafting, base building, and managing resources in a harsh wasteland environment. Players will encounter various factions, make difficult moral decisions, and explore a world filled with both danger and opportunity. The character creation system will allow players to define their character's background and stats, influencing their journey through the game.
Key to Entropy's design philosophy is its commitment to creating an immersive and challenging experience. The developers are drawing from the foundational texts of the genre, aiming to recapture the sense of emergent storytelling and player agency that defined early CRPGs. This includes a deep dialogue system and a world that responds dynamically to the player's actions, creating a unique narrative for each playthrough.
The Warhammer spin-off in question, reportedly Warhammer: The Black Pits, was an unreleased title that also focused on squad-based tactics and survival. While details are scarce, Entropy aims to incorporate some of its conceptual elements into its own gameplay loop. The developers see this blend of influences as crucial to creating a distinct identity for Entropy in the crowded RPG market.
