About

A frontier of hostile, resource-rich planets, and a swarm of alien beasts called the Grod standing in the way. You build a base, recruit heroes and alien crews, and send tanks, aircraft and mechs into real-time battles — then join an alliance to fight for territory on a shared map.

Our verdict

B

Worth a try if the genre is yours.

“It ran well on my PC. What won me over is the rich sci-fi universe in space, and the alliance wars: planning them with other players is genuinely immersive.” — Jordan Kessler

Skip it if you want a fair competitive game where spending never matters, a story-driven single-player game, or you play on a Mac (on computer, Project Entropy is Windows only).

Project Entropy on PC: Worth Playing in 2026?

In 30 seconds

  • A free sci-fi strategy MMO by FunPlus, out on PC (Steam) since April 16, 2024.
  • You build a base on a hostile frontier planet and hold it against the Grod, a swarm of alien beasts.
  • Battles are in real time: tanks, aircraft and mechs you steer while they fight, then alliance wars on a shared map.
  • It runs on almost any Windows PC: the minimum is a GTX 460-class card and 4 GB of RAM.

The loop: build, defend, expand

You start with a small outpost and a handful of units. The early missions teach the rhythm: gather resources, upgrade buildings, train troops, and send your first heroes against the Grod. When the swarm attacks, your base defenses and shields have to hold while your squads clean up the waves.

It is a game of steady progress more than quick sessions. Buildings take time to upgrade, and the players who come back every day move fastest.

War machines and civilizations

Your army mixes tanks, aircraft and mechs, and you customize mechs and weapons part by part. You also lead and recruit alien civilizations, each with its own units, abilities and technology: the Humans at the heart of your army, the Utu, the robotic Automatons and the reptilian Beasts.

Planets and alliances

The frontier is a chain of uncharted planets to explore and claim: desert, frozen, scorching and forest worlds. Once the region map opens, you meet other commanders, join an alliance and fight for territory together, in both PvE and PvP. The game runs in seasons, with seasonal updates that reset part of the race.

A live translated chat lets you coordinate with players from other countries, and PC players share the world with mobile players.

Can my PC run it?

Minimum
OS Windows 10 64-bit (64-bit required)

GPU GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 4400
RAM 4 GB
DirectX 10

Official figures from the Steam store page (November 2026). Steam only lists a 64-bit system as its recommended spec. In practice, any GTX 1050-class card or recent integrated graphics plays it comfortably.
