If you're a fan of the critically acclaimed Hades and its stylish visuals combined with hardcore roguelike gameplay, you'll be thrilled to dive into the world of Eclipsoul, a newly released idle RPG that draws inspiration from the same source. Available now on Android from Peraspera Games, Eclipsoul transports you to a realm inspired by European mythology, where an evil force known as the Eclipse Legion has consumed the light. As the commander of the gods' forces, it's up to you to bring back the light to this darkened world.
Gameplay in Eclipsoul echoes the strategic depth of classics like Heroes of Might & Magic. You'll deploy five unique heroes, each rooted in mythological lore, leading customizable troops into auto-battles against the forces of darkness. The integration of Heroes of Might & Magic-style strategy into an idle RPG format feels like a natural evolution, merging familiar mechanics with the convenience of idle gameplay.

What sets Eclipsoul apart is not just its mythological theme or Hades-like art style, but its engaging gameplay. The influence of the Heroes of Might & Magic series, a pioneer in modern strategy game conventions, is evident and well-suited to the idle RPG genre.
The game is packed with content, featuring a rich PvE campaign alongside dedicated PvP modes. For those with busy schedules, the idle rewards system allows you to enjoy the game's grand mythological storytelling without needing to be constantly active.
