Turmoil (2024)

"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.
