If you're a fan of the stylish visual flair and hardcore roguelike gameplay of Hades, and have been yearning for a strategy RPG that captures that same aesthetic, look no further than the newly-released Eclipsoul. Now available on Android from Peraspera Games, this idle RPG takes you into a captivating world inspired by European mythology, where an evil force known as the Eclipse Legion has devoured the light. It's up to you to command the forces of the gods and restore light to the world.
Eclipsoul's gameplay bears a striking resemblance to the classic Heroes of Might & Magic series. While the core mechanic revolves around auto-battling, you'll deploy five distinct heroes from various mythologies, each leading customizable troops to combat the forces of darkness. This blend of strategy and idle RPG elements feels like a natural evolution, bringing the beloved gameplay conventions of HOMM into a new genre.
