Eclipsoul: Dark Fantasy RPG with Hades-Style Art

by Peyton May 14,2025

If you're a fan of the critically acclaimed game Hades and its stylish visual flair and hardcore roguelike gameplay, then the newly released idle RPG, Eclipsoul, might catch your eye. Now available on Android from Peraspera Games, Eclipsoul brings a similar aesthetic into the strategy RPG genre, drawing inspiration from European mythology. In this game, you'll step into a world where the light has been consumed by an evil force known as the Eclipse Legion, and it's up to you to command the forces of the gods to bring back the light.

Gameplay in Eclipsoul echoes the classic strategy of games like Heroes of Might & Magic. The core mechanic revolves around auto-battling, where you deploy five distinct mythological heroes, each leading customizable troops into strategic battles against the forces of darkness. This blend of HOMM-style strategy with idle RPG mechanics marks an exciting evolution in the genre.

What sets Eclipsoul apart is not just its mythological themes or Hades-inspired art style, but its engaging gameplay. The influence of the HOMM franchise, a cornerstone of modern strategy gameplay conventions, is evident and seamlessly integrated into the idle RPG format. This combination promises a fresh yet familiar experience for strategy RPG enthusiasts.

Eclipsoul is packed with content, featuring a rich PvE campaign and dedicated PvP modes. For players with busy schedules, the idle rewards system offers an additional layer of engagement, allowing you to progress even when you're not actively playing. If Eclipsoul piques your interest with its promise of grand mythological storytelling, it's definitely worth exploring.
