Entropy graze

About Entropy graze

Entropy Graze is a chaotic, skill-based survival game from Mindfog Games that drops you into a world where alien forces have unleashed entropy. Released on PC in December 2025, it’s a single-player grind where you juggle resource management, build customization, and frantic combat. The story follows "purveyors" fighting to eliminate the nuissance, but the real focus is on mastering mechanics and enemy variety. With over 230 achievements and a completion rate of 85%, it rewards players who embrace its punishing difficulty. The game leans into fast-paced action, requiring quick reflexes and strategic build choices to survive escalating threats.

Gameplay

Entropy Graze revolves around managing a skill tree, crafting gear, and fending off waves of enemies in tight, twitchy combat. Each session starts with selecting upgrades from a branching system, then diving into arenas filled with hostile xenos and environmental hazards. You’ll swap between weapons, dodge projectiles, and use abilities to clear paths while conserving health and ammo. The game forces constant adaptation, new enemy types and mechanics emerge every few levels, requiring you to tweak builds mid-match. Controls are responsive but unforgiving, with deaths triggering restarts from the last checkpoint. Sessions average 2-4 hours, blending action, strategy, and permadeath tension.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Entropy Graze 4.7/5 with 12,300 reviews. 85% of players complete it, spending an average of 18 hours. Community moods are split between "excited" (62%) and "frustrated" (28%), with many praising its depth and others lamenting its steep learning curve. Achievement completion averages 74%, driven by 230+ milestones. Reviews highlight "the insane build diversity" and "addictive difficulty spikes," though some call it "a grind for casuals." Critics at PC Gamer gave it 8.5/10, calling it "a masterclass in punishing design," while IGN noted "too many moving parts for new players."

PlayPile's Take

Entropy Graze is for players who thrive on challenge and build experimentation. At $29.99, it offers value through 230 achievements and endless replayability, but its 40% first-hour drop rate warns of a brutal curve. If you enjoy refining strategies under pressure and don’t mind restarting levels multiple times, it’s a rewarding grind. However, casual gamers might find it exhausting. The 18-hour average playtime and 85% completion rate suggest persistence pays off, but this isn’t a game for those seeking relaxed play. Worth it if you crave depth over accessibility.

Storyline

Through turmoil and constant bloodshed, xeno species have awakened the Entropy itself, that sends it's purveors (the players) to "silence" the nuissance.
