If you adored the stylish visuals and challenging roguelike mechanics of Hades, then the newly released Eclipsoul, an idle RPG inspired by Hades, might just be the game you've been waiting for. Eclipsoul seamlessly blends the aesthetic of Hades with the strategy RPG genre, offering a fresh take on familiar gameplay elements.
Developed by Peraspera Games and available on Android, Eclipsoul transports players to a world steeped in European mythology where an evil force, the Eclipse Legion, has consumed the light. As a player, you're tasked with commanding the forces of the gods to bring light back to the world.
In terms of gameplay, Eclipsoul draws significant inspiration from the Heroes of Might & Magic series. While the game is built around auto-battling, you'll deploy five distinct heroes from various mythologies, each leading customizable troops into battle against the forces of darkness. This strategic element adds depth to the auto-battle system, making every decision crucial.

The game is packed with content, featuring a dense PvE campaign alongside dedicated PvP modes.
