If you're a fan of the stylish visuals and intense roguelike gameplay of *Hades*, but crave the strategic depth of a strategy RPG, then the newly-released *Eclipsoul* from Peraspera Games on Android might just be what you're looking for. Set in a world inspired by European mythology, *Eclipsoul* plunges you into a battle against the sinister Eclipse Legion, which has engulfed the world in darkness. Your mission? To lead the forces of the gods and restore the light.
Gameplay in *Eclipsoul* echoes the classic strategy RPG mechanics seen in games like *Heroes of Might & Magic*. You'll deploy five distinct heroes, each rooted in mythology, who command a range of customizable troops in auto-battles against the forces of darkness. What sets *Eclipsoul* apart isn't just its mythological theme or its *Hades*-like art style, but how it adapts the strategic gameplay conventions of the *Heroes of Might & Magic* series into the idle RPG format. This fusion feels like a natural evolution for the genre.
Content-wise, *Eclipsoul* is packed with activities, featuring a robust PvE campaign and dedicated PvP modes. For players with busy schedules, the game offers the added convenience of idle rewards, allowing you to enjoy the game's grand mythological storytelling without constant attention.
