If you're a fan of the acclaimed roguelike Hades and its stylish visuals, you'll find a new delight in Eclipsoul, a freshly released idle RPG that draws inspiration from the same aesthetic while blending it into the strategy RPG genre. Available now on Android from Peraspera Games, Eclipsoul transports you to a world steeped in European mythology, where the light has been consumed by the malevolent Eclipse Legion. As the commander of the gods' forces, it's your duty to bring light back to this darkened world.
Gameplay in Eclipsoul echoes the mechanics of classics like Heroes of Might & Magic. While the battles are automated, you have the strategic advantage of deploying five unique heroes, each rooted in mythology, who lead customizable troops against the encroaching darkness. This fusion of Heroes of Might & Magic's strategic depth with the idle RPG format marks an intriguing evolution in the genre, drawing on the established conventions that HOMM has pioneered.
Heroes of Myth and MythologyWhat sets Eclipsoul apart is not just its mythological backdrop or Hades-inspired art style, but its compelling gameplay. The game is packed with a rich PvE campaign and dedicated PvP modes, ensuring a plethora of challenges and content for players. For those with hectic schedules, the idle rewards system means you can still progress and enjoy the grand narrative of mythological storytelling even when you're away from the game.
