Eclipse Breaker News

[p]The lost PS1 roguelike that never existed… does now.[/p][p]After years of development, Eclipse Breaker is officially live on Steam! Step into a fast-paced, tactical roguelite that feels unearthed from another era, built around deliberate combat, tight boss encounters, and smart, evolving builds that reward precision and adaptability.[/p][p]You play as Ember, a guardian fighting to bring back the sun in a world that’s changed (and a game that's moved on!) without her. Along the way, you’ll reconnect with the spirits of your former allies, channeling their power to unlock new abilities and shape your combat style. Every run pushes you further through a gauntlet of unique enemies and massive bosses, each demanding a different approach.[/p][p]There’s no filler here, just focused, evolving gameplay where every fight matters.[/p][p]If you grew up on Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, or Parasite Eve, you’ll feel right at home.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]What Players Can Expect[/h3]

• [p]Tactical, real-time combat: Plan your moves, parry, and queue attacks in a modernized Active Time Battle system.[/p]
• [p]Roguelite replayability: Build, adapt, and evolve with each run.[/p]

[p]We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who checked out Eclipse Breaker during Steam Next Fest! The response was amazing, and we loved seeing players dive into runs and even stream their playthroughs. [/p][p]We saw a few great call-outs, like being one of CBR's Top 11 Must-Play Demos or hailed as an Amazing Active Turn-Based Action Roguelite by the Goat Force Gaming crew, and even international attention in Poland, France, Russia, and many others. Some other fun quotes we saw:[/p]

• [p]"If you enjoy RPGs that respect your brain as much as they respect your reflexes, Eclipse Breaker is a demo that's worth a look today" - NoobFeed[/p]
• [p]"one of the more adventurous roguelikes out there... instead of leaning into deckbuilders or pure randomness, it gives you a tactical core in every fight and builds that evolve meaningfully." - Entertainment Geekly[/p]

[p]It was hugely motivating. And we’ve been watching your feedback closely and are already using it to make the game even better. Right now, we’re focused on polishing, squashing a few last-minute bugs, and locking in balance tweaks before release.[/p][p]Mark your calendars: Eclipse Breaker officially launches next Friday, November 7th, at 10 AM PT.[/p][p]If you enjoyed the demo, make sure to wishlist (if you haven’t already!) so you’ll be notified the moment it goes live. [/p][p]Thanks again for helping us make Eclipse Breaker the best it can be. We can’t wait for you to play the full game soon![/p]

[p]Hey everyone!

We’re thrilled to share that Eclipse Breaker is officially part of Steam Next Fest! You can now jump into the brand-new demo, featuring new zones, multiple companions to unlock, and a refined combat loop that captures what the full game is all about: fast-paced strategy, tight timing, and just enough chaos to keep you on your toes.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]This isn’t a “vertical slice” or early tease; it’s a real representation of the game as it plays today. You’ll get a solid feel for how Eclipse Breaker blends classic ATB combat with roguelike unpredictability and action-combat depth.[/p][h3]Here’s what you can expect:[/h3]

• [p]Four elemental realms to fight in (Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning), each with unique enemies and hazards![/p]
• [p]Multiple companions to recruit (each changing how you fight)[/p]
• [p]Evolved combat, streamlined progression, and balancing based on your feedback to date (thank you!!)[/p]
• [p]A playable slice of the whole experience![/p]

[h3]Here's how you can help:[/h3][p]If you play the demo, please leave a review right on the demo page; it helps immensely with visibility during the event. Even short impressions (“fun combat,” “tight timing,” “needs more goats”) make a real difference.[/p][p][/p][p]And if you enjoyed your run, tell a friend! Sharing the demo with another fan helps Eclipse Breaker reach the players who will love it most.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve already seen some incredible creators dive deep into the demo, breaking bosses and praising the combat system. Let your favorite streamers know they should be checking out the game, and if you see someone playing, join the conversation![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again for supporting the chase for big, nostalgic ideas. Timing is everything... and so is your support.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy the game![/p][p]- The Lunar Workshop Team[/p]

[p]This update is one of the biggest yet for Eclipse Breaker. Not only are we adding an entirely new way to play, but we’ve also rebalanced combat, introduced new levels, and delivered a wave of quality-of-life improvements inspired directly by your feedback.[/p][h2]A Whole New Way to Play[/h2][p]The all-new Boss Rush Mode challenges you to face a relentless gauntlet of back-to-back bosses. It’s fast, punishing, and perfect for players who want pure combat. Meanwhile, the original experience has been rebranded as Story Mode, where you can continue to progress at your own pace.[/p][p]We’ve also made it easier to control your journey: you can now abandon a run at any time, giving you the flexibility to jump in and out without feeling trapped. And to unlock heroes, you’ll now need to complete unique character quests. For example, Logren demands that you slay foes using only your Attack, while Yarrow requires you to heal yourself a certain percentage of your health bar. These quests make unlocking characters feel like an integral part of the adventure, rather than just a menu choice.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]New Realms, New Gear[/h2][p]Your battles now stretch into two new elemental worlds: the grounded challenges of Earth and the volatile chaos of Lightning. Each adds more variety to the roguelike run structure and new obstacles to overcome.[/p][p]Alongside these levels, we’ve introduced three new pieces of equipment:[/p]

• [p]Phoenix Flame grants an extra life, giving you another shot at survival.[/p]
• [p]Triple Target creates three Barriers to help weather enemy onslaughts.[/p]
• [p]Heaven’s Harvest instantly heals you to full, a game-changer in the middle of a tough run.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]Combat Reforged (Your Feedback in Action)[/h2][p]This patch delivers sweeping changes to make combat faster, clearer, and more rewarding:[/p]

• [p]Reduced Grind: Resource drops are more generous, and item costs have been lowered.[/p]
• [p]Every Attack Dodgeable: Even Glance beam attacks can now be evaded with precise timing. We did this to reduce confusion from players about which attacks can be dodged... so now we made 'em all dodgeable![/p]
• [p]Clearer Telegraphs: Any attack that cannot be parried now has a distinct pattern, so you’ll know at a glance what’s safe to challenge.[/p]
• [p]Parry Buffs: Equipment that deals damage on Parry has been significantly strengthened.[/p]
• [p]Smarter Bosses: Bosses will no longer repeat the same ability twice in a row, making fights more dynamic.[/p]

[p]Many of these changes were directly requested by the community, and we look forward to hearing how they are received in practice.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Quality of Life & Fixes[/h2][p]We’ve polished up many rough edges across the game:[/p]

• [p]Ultimates: All Ultimates now have infinite range and refreshed VFX for a flashier impact.[/p]
• [p]Yarrow Adjustments: Her Meditation augment Fine-Tuned Overdrived was fixed, and Yarrow’s Ultimate visuals improved.[/p]
• [p]Enemy Tuning: Vulgar Dross damage reduced, and attack bugs corrected.[/p]
• [p]Radiance: Now properly displays with a stack icon and no longer lingers on dead characters.[/p]
• [p]UI & Soft Locks: Fixed several overlapping UI cases that could cause freezes; the escape key soft lock is resolved.[/p]
• [p]Tutorial: Now accessible from the main menu so that you can replay or skip it entirely.[/p]
• [p]Other Fixes: Vulnerable clears correctly, Blood Shackles no longer disappear, Gale Force’s second strike now triggers, and more.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]Thank You[/h2][p]Every update is shaped by your feedback, and a lot of the additions above came directly from the community. Please keep telling us what’s working, what’s not, and what you’d love to see next, it makes the game stronger with every patch.[/p][p]We’re also hard at work putting the finishing touches on our Steam Next Fest demo, launching October 13th. This will be the best way yet to jump in and see all these changes in action. Please consider leaving a review, if you haven't already, to help us. We look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Thanks again![/p][p]- The Lunar Workshop Team[/p]
