If you're a fan of the stylish visuals and intense roguelike gameplay of Hades, and you're curious about how that aesthetic could be infused into a strategy RPG, then the recently released Eclipsoul is the game for you. Available now on Android from Peraspera Games, Eclipsoul plunges you into a world steeped in European mythology, where an evil force known as the Eclipse Legion has engulfed the light. Your mission? Command the forces of the gods to bring light back to the world.
Eclipsoul's gameplay shares similarities with the revered Heroes of Might & Magic series. While centered around auto-battling, you'll deploy five unique heroes, each rooted in mythology, who lead an array of customizable troops against the forces of darkness. This blend of auto-battle mechanics with strategic elements reminiscent of HOMM marks a fascinating evolution in the idle RPG genre.

What sets Eclipsoul apart isn't just its mythological backdrop or its Hades-inspired art style, but its compelling gameplay. The Heroes of Might & Magic series has significantly influenced modern strategy game conventions, and seeing these elements adapted into an idle RPG feels like a natural progression.
Eclipsoul offers a wealth of content, including a rich PvE campaign and dedicated PvP modes. For those with hectic schedules, the idle rewards system is a boon, allowing you to engage with the game's grand mythological narrative at your own pace.
