Eclipsoul: Dark Fantasy RPG with Hades-Style Art
If you're a fan of the stylish visuals and hardcore roguelike gameplay of Hades, and you've been yearning for a similar aesthetic in a strategy RPG, then the newly-released Eclipsoul might be exactly what you're looking for. Now available on Android from Peraspera Games, Eclipsoul immerses you in a world inspired by European mythology, where the light has been consumed by an evil force known as the Eclipse Legion. It's up to you to lead the gods' forces in a quest to restore the light to the world.
Eclipsoul's gameplay shares a striking resemblance to the beloved Heroes of Might & Magic series. While the game primarily focuses on auto-battling, you have the ability to deploy five unique heroes from various mythologies, each leading customizable troops into battle against the forces of darkness. This blend of idle RPG mechanics with strategic elements from the HOMM franchise marks an exciting evolution in the genre.

What sets Eclipsoul apart for me isn't just its mythological themes or Hades-inspired art style, but its engaging gameplay. The influence of the HOMM series, a pioneer in modern strategy game conventions, seamlessly integrates into the idle RPG format, offering a fresh take on the genre.
Eclipsoul is packed with content, featuring a comprehensive PvE campaign and dedicated PvP modes. For those with busy schedules, the game's idle rewards system provides an additional layer of convenience, allowing you to progress even when you're not actively playing. This makes Eclipsoul a compelling choice for anyone looking to delve into a grand mythological narrative.
