Our take on Eclipse
Rather than keeping fantasy and science fiction separate, the game places future weapons in a medieval world. It also shifts attention from gear quality to player abilities, while adding detective-style investigation to its hack-and-slash structure.
What is Eclipse?
Eclipse is a hack-and-slash adventure set in a medieval village threatened by monsters from abandoned dungeons.
The player awakens an ancient god who must protect the village, complete quests, explore locations, and find the source of the evil. Combat uses axes, swords, and futuristic weapons, while character skills and abilities matter more than equipment statistics or armor quality. Dungeons contain mysteries, hidden routes, and magical items, requiring investigation as well as fighting. The story includes detective elements and follows the discovery of technology used in a medieval setting. Players can pursue quests, explore the game world, or fight their way deeper into the dungeons before uncovering a secret.
