Captain your very own air battleship and take the fight to the aliens in this role-playing game.

War of Eclipse is ideal for fans of retro-style graphics and gameplay.

Why we picked this?

War of Eclipse is unabashedly retro. Its pixel art graphics are sharp and its gameplay brutally difficult. You’re able to choose from seven powerful battleships, each of which can be customized in a variety of ways. Blast away all kinds of alien invaders by perfectly timing your shots. The game includes 35 enemy types to take on, random equipment drops, and seven different endings to discover.

If you like your retro games to span more than one genre, War of Eclipse is a perfect fit for you. It beautifully blends timing, role-playing, and adventure elements to offer one unique experience.

As we stated earlier, War of Eclipse is unabashedly retro. This can be a positive and a negative. If you like your graphics in 3-D and your gameplay fast and loose, avoid War of Eclipse.
