About Turmoil
A 3D isometric top-down dieselpunk-inspired, roguelike game. The world of Turmoil is set in an alternate history where humans developed machines that run on oil to automate society. Eventually, machines began making more machines to boost productivity while safety was disregarded. As the last human left in the esteemed factory of Geargrave Automations, Harry suffers a life-threatening injury to the only thing keeping him a valuable asset to the company. Now, with an injured mechanical arm leaking oil, sitting in the trash, Harry realizes he won't survive unless he fights. He must rise from the ashes, learning how to survive with nothing but his leaking arm and a general knowledge of mechanics. His goal is to avenge the humans who were disposed of in the past by defeating the boss, Kornelius Rayburn Geargrave, and shutting down the factory. Geargrave only values efficiency, output, and profit, so when hearing of Harry's retaliation, all robots are set to go hostile when in the presence of deviant employees.
Navigate through three different procedurally generated levels of the factory, fighting hostile robots for survival, collecting their oil to continue forward as there is no choice but to persist. Collect blueprints and scrap around the factory to upgrade Harry's mechanical arm. Collect oil canisters to keep him alive and utilize the hazardous environment to defeat attacking robots. Rise from the ashes! Show the boss that a worker is more than their mechanical parts.

"Turmoil" is not to be confused with many other games also called Turmoil, most popular of which is a mobile app about oil production. Instead, this is an unfortunately failed top down action game... and I guess the first thing is the developer describing this as "isometric", when it's obviously not, the graphics are done, as most PC games, using a visual style known as perspective projection. Isometric, meaning "equal measures" is a different technique that does not represent the visual perspective at all. You'll most commonly see isometric views in 2D games representing 3D environments, such as the first Maxis "The Sims" game. Notice how something very far away is the same size (equal measure) as things very close to you in The Sims? That's because it's isometric. We learned something "new" today, I guess. Why did I need to go into that? I think it helps to understand why this was such a failure... when developers don't even know what kind of 3D their game is, you know you're gonna have a bad time. What do you do in the game? Gameplay involves navigating hazardous environments, fighting robots, collecting oil for health, and upgrading your mechanical arm, using procedur…5 found this helpful
It has terrible PC support, cant pan the camera on PC and doesn't show PC controls. I'd say its kind of hard/confusing but I probably just suck. NOT RECCOMENDED. If they fix it maybe, but its not great.2 found this helpful
This won't run on my I9 or Ryzen 9 with way over ram needed. Glad it was free, looked like I would of enjoyed it. Will change my review once this is fixed. Understand it just was released but should of been tested more.2 found this helpful
