Steal elemental powers and grow stronger in this hybrid RPG
Today, I’m going to introduce an indie game that mixes real-time action and turn-based mechanics. Before sliding down, please note that screens and art in the game are not final, and the dev is working on improving every graphic aspect, saying that I can start introducing Eclipse Breaker, which sets players on a thrilling journey to defeat Solara, the sun god, and restore light to a world shrouded in darkness.
This roguelite game, developed and published by Lunar Workshop, invites players to engage in tactical battles that blend turn-based and real-time combat elements. As the protagonist, Ember, players must navigate a godly realm, battling formidable foes and bosses to reclaim the stolen sun with a dynamic progression system where players grow stronger by stealing elemental powers from their enemies, allowing for a diverse range of builds.
The game’s unique combat system is a standout feature, combining turn-based gameplay with real-time action. Players can move in real-time but must plan their attacks and defenses in turns, making every decision crucial. The tactical battles are further enriched by the presence of powerful bosses, known as Elementals, who serve as guardians of Solara’s realm. Each victory against these formidable foes grants players their arcane powers, adding layers of strategy and customization to the gameplay.
Ember, the main character, is joined by other heroes, each with unique abilities and backstories, all united by the common goal of restoring light to the world. The game also emphasizes replayability with its roguelite elements, where each run through the mystical realm offers new challenges and rewards.
With its planned release date yet to be announced, Eclipse Breaker looks like a very promising RPG. In the meantime, a demo is available on Steam. Below is an overview of the game, screens, and teaser trailer.
ABOUT THE GAME
NOTE TO OUR GAMER FRIENDS: THE ART PRESENTED IS PROTOTYPE QUALITY ONLY! WE ARE RAPIDLY WORKING TOWARDS IMPROVING THE ART SO THAT THE GAME LOOKS PRETTIER.
The sun is blotted out by an eclipse. The world is thrust into darkness and is dying. The masses pray to Solara, the sun god, for the return of the sun. But Solara’s First Paladin Ember discovers the horrifying secret: Solara has stolen the sun for herself. Ember is spurred into action, embarking on a quest into heaven to take back the light. As she sets out to vanquish Solara, she will confront formidable foes while journeying through a mystical realm and meet some allies along the way who share her goal of restoring the sun.
KEY FEATURES
A Unique Combat System: Eclipse Breaker features a mix of real time and turn-based combat system. You can move around in real time, but attacking and defending happens in turns. We are enthusiasts of games that feature either of these styles of combat and wanted to create a turn-based combat game enjoyable for those who favor real-time combat experiences.
Multiple Heroes: Recruit new party members who share your goal of restoring light to the world. Only a chosen few are capable of seeing the mission through till the end. Select among multiple characters who have unique abilities that suit your style.
Intense Bosses: Solara is defended by the Elementals, powerful demons that do her bidding and protect her realm. Fight through an army of fallen angels and redeemed demons will stand in your way and attempt to thwart your progress.
Unique Power Ups and Builds: Each Elemental wields an arcane power. Every time you defeat one, you attain their power and become stronger. As you accumulate more power-ups, you’ll unlock the ability to craft diverse builds.
