About Eclipse of Eldergaard
Eclipse of Eldergaard is a dark fantasy, time-bound action-adventure where every second counts. You are thrown into a cursed world teetering on the edge of destruction, tasked with a single, desperate mission: close the four hell gates before Umbra, the fallen Wukong of Shadow, returns to consume the overworld.
“Every 33 years, on the Bloody Day, my legions will rise again… and my prison will weaken.”
It needs someone willing to bleed against time itself.
Your mission: close all three hell gates before the crystal prison shatters.
The First Disciple of Light, the strongest warrior Solion ever trained, appears not to aid you, but to taunt you. His words cut as deep as the claws of Umbra’s demons, reminding you of your weakness.But why does he watch?
Is it judgment, or preparation for something darker?
Solion vanished into myth. Umbra waits for his chains to break.Now, the burden falls on you.
Will you rise against the Bloody Day, or become just another shadow in the eclipse?
Estimated playtime: ~1 hour.
The Legend of Light and Shadow
Long ago, the divine chose two legendary brothers:- Solion, the Wukong of Light, destined to protect the overworld.
- Umbra, the Wukong of Shadow, bound to rule the underworld.
“Every 33 years, on the Bloody Day, my legions will rise again… and my prison will weaken.”
Your Role: Ren Huo, Disciple of Light
You are Ren Huo, the youngest and weakest disciple chosen by Solion’s legacy. Unlike the First Disciple, whose strength rivaled legends, you are untested, fragile, yet burdened with destiny.On this Bloody Day, the seal weakens. Hell gates crack open across Eldergaard known as Crimson Valley, spewing demons. The First Disciple of Solion watches you from the shadows, mocking your every step, testing whether you deserve the mantle of Light.The world does not need another legend.It needs someone willing to bleed against time itself.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
- Great game if you want to kill some time killing waves of enemies. - Will say that the laser beam attack is incredibly overpowered compared to the rest of the abilities. - The main title screen does not have a quit button so you have to ALT+F4 to exit the game. - Could do with a short tutorial level to see what each ability does. - I would probably remove the sheath and unsheath option in the game because it doesn't make sense really. If you've obtained your sword then you wouldn't really go back to your fists would you? But that's just me. - Maybe add objectives to the game such as "Kill 10 grunts" or "Defeat boss to obtain key to chest" and waves that progressively get harder as you go along and steadily introduce armor upgrades etc at an upgrade booth. (Just an idea). - Maybe add in some extra death noises too or reduce the current ones as they do get repetitive. - The main menu buttons don't really seem responsive and could do with highlighting when hovering over them. - There's too many slow motion death finishers, reduce them down or have them activate on critical hits?5 found this helpful

Set during a catastrophic event known as the Bloody Day, the story follows Ren Huo, a young disciple tasked with preventing an ancient evil from breaking free and plunging the world into ruin. The narrative embraces familiar themes of destiny, sacrifice, and the battle between light and darkness, but it presents them through a constant sense of urgency that helps the game stand apart from many indie fantasy releases.

As the seal imprisoning the dark force begins to fail, Ren Huo becomes humanity’s unlikely hope. The story succeeds in creating a dramatic backdrop for the adventure, especially because the threat feels immediate rather than distant. Players are not simply preparing for a future disaster; they are actively racing ag…
