Press release:
The indie games studio Lunar Workshop Games, are today very proud and happy to announce that their tactical, fast-paced roguelite , ‘Eclipse Breaker’ (a game that feels like digging up a forgotten PlayStation classic, only sharper, stranger, and built for today), is now available via Steam for $11.99, with a limited-time launch discount.

Battle through a fallen world as Ember, a guardian fighting to reclaim her power in a game that’s seen 25 years of updates. Every encounter plays like a boss fight, blending reflex and strategy through a modernized Active Time Battle system inspired by Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, and Parasite Eve.

As you fight, you’ll uncover fragments of a story written by Mike Sennott (Wintermoor Tactics Club, Astronaut: The Best), which plays with genre tropes between runs. Reunite with the spirits of your departed companions and channel their strength to unleash new attacks. Face dozens of distinct enemies and massive bosses as you fight to bring back the sun through deliberate, evolving combat that rewards strategy and adaptability.

Praised by Entertainment Geekly as “one of the more adventurous roguelikes out there…” Eclipse Breaker captures the spirit of classic JRPGs while pushing the roguelite genre forward.

KEY FEATURES

Modernized ATB Combat: Time, parry, and queue actions in a system that rewards precision.

Evolving Builds: Shape Ember’s abilities through meaningful run-to-run progression.

Boss Rush Roguelite: Unique game mode where every encounter is a tactical showdown.

Retro Aesthetic, Modern Edge: A lovingly “remastered” PS1-era roguelike that never actually existed.
