Project Entropy is a free-to-play sci-fi strategy MMO developed and published by FunPlus International AG. Its Steam page lists a Windows release on April 16, 2024, and the game is also on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android. The official store descriptions promise base building, hero recruitment, tanks, aircraft and combat mechs, PvE against an alien species called the Grod, real-time multiplayer battles on region maps, alliance warfare and season-based updates.
In practice it plays like a base-building strategy game with a hero collection layer on top. This guide covers the systems a new account meets first and the priorities the established guides agree on.
The Command Center sets the pace
The Command Center is the building everything else depends on. TalkAndroid's guide calls it the heart of your base: each level unlocks more buildings, along with new mechanics and events. BlueStacks' tips guide makes the same point from the other side, noting that other buildings cannot be upgraded further until the Command Center is, and that upgrade costs climb steeply as the base level rises. LDPlayer's tips list also puts Command Center upgrades near the top.
Two other things are worth knowing early:
- Follow the main missions. The game is organized in chapters of missions. TalkAndroid notes that they pay out food, metal and gold, which are the resources you need for building, training and hero upgrades, so the missions fund the upgrades they ask for.
- The Mobilization Center trains your troops. BlueStacks, TalkAndroid and LDPlayer all name it as the building where troops are trained, and it is also where formations are set up.
We could not confirm specific Command Center level gates from any source we trust, so none are listed here. Check the unlock requirements shown in-game.
Resources, rovers and RR2 robots
The guides consistently name Food, Metal and Gold as core resources. BlueStacks' beginner guide lists Food, Energy and Metal as the three primary ones, produced over time by the Food Depot, the Solar Plant and the Metal Refinery, and says Food and Energy feed troop training.
Resources come from three places:
- Missions and chapter rewards, as above.
- Exploration. You send rovers out to reveal new areas of the map and gather what is there. TalkAndroid recommends exploring actively and consistently.
- RR2 robots. These are your workers. BlueStacks describes them as helping hands that can be sent to excavate resources or work on building upgrades, and LDPlayer recommends keeping them active as resource collectors.
The Grod are the other source. TalkAndroid describes killing them as a main way to collect resources and hero experience.
Heroes, vehicles and supporting weapons
Your fighting units are formations. Each one pairs a Hero with a Vehicle, and formations also carry a Supporting Weapon. The App Store description confirms the vehicle side covers tanks, aircraft and combat mechs.
What the guides say about building them:
- Heroes come in roles. BlueStacks' hero tier list and TalkAndroid both sort legendary heroes into Damage, Leader, Buff and Debuff types. Both name Ahmed Samir and Helmut Robinson (Damage), Tatiana Valieva and Vito Coppola (Leader), Hayden Parker (Buff) and Marcus Barclay (Debuff).
- Each hero has a Fusion Skill. These are the signature abilities, and many of them interact with the vehicle or the Supporting Weapon. BlueStacks lists Vito Coppola's as a boost to Supporting Weapon damage, for example, so hero and loadout are meant to be chosen together.
- Level heroes first. BlueStacks calls hero levels the easiest and largest source of power, paid for with Hero EXP, and says Hero Talents open once a hero passes level 20. TalkAndroid describes Talents as a branch that raises specific stats.
- Concentrate your investment. LDPlayer's advice is to upgrade only the heroes you actually field, and to upgrade their vehicles alongside them.
- Cyphers are an extra layer of hero power that TalkAndroid says come from loot boxes, drop pods and missions.
Combat itself is mostly automatic. BlueStacks describes battles on a grid where both sides attack on their own, so the decisions are made in the formation screen beforehand. Combat Power is the headline number, but BlueStacks also stresses countering the enemy type, giving airborne units against melee enemies as its example. On the Region Map, TalkAndroid notes you can issue individual commands to units, such as pulling damaged ones back.

Alliances and the multiplayer layer
Alliances are a headline feature in the official descriptions, not an optional extra. The Steam and App Store pages both advertise alliance warfare and real-time PvP against other players, and the App Store listing adds built-in real-time translation so alliances can work across languages. LDPlayer's guide says alliance wars depend on coordination among members and that alliances bring their own events and benefits.
The Steam page also describes the game as season-based, with new content arriving over time, so expect the competitive map to change rather than stay fixed.
Project Entropy sells in-app purchases, including a battle pass, according to its App Store listing. TalkAndroid's view is that free players can still compete if they manage resources carefully. We found no published rates or pity rules for hero recruitment from a source we could confirm, so this guide does not quote any; read the in-game details before spending.
Where to start
Follow the main missions chapter by chapter, put resources into the Command Center whenever it is the thing blocking progress, and keep rovers and RR2 robots working. Pick a small set of heroes, level them and their vehicles together, and join an active alliance early. Free resources help with all of it, so check our active Project Entropy codes.
About this guide: it is compiled from official material and established community guides, not from first-hand playtime. Sources: the official Steam store page and App Store listing (genre, platforms, release date, feature list), and the BlueStacks beginner guide, tips guide and hero tier list, TalkAndroid's game guide and LDPlayer's tips guide for systems and progression advice. Most of those community guides were written in 2023 and early 2024, so names and details may have changed in later updates.
