Retro-Flavored Roguelite Eclipse Breaker Blasts Into October Steam Next Fest With Expanded Debut

Los Angeles, CA, October 2, 2025 — Independent developer Jorge Rodriguez and Lunar Workshop announced that Eclipse Breaker, a fast, tactical action roguelite with a 90s-inspired vibe, will showcase their public demo during Steam Next Fest starting October 13. This refresh spotlights the game’s timing-driven combat and build experimentation across a curated slice of Story Mode, alongside the all-new Boss Rush mode, designed for quick 15-minute runs and "just one more try" moments.



At the heart of Eclipse Breaker is Ember, once the star of a long-forgotten JRPG. Twenty-five years later, she returns to find the game itself has changed. What was once a JRPG tale has morphed into a high-intensity roguelite; her companions linger as ghosts, the rules have shifted, and the Divine Realm no longer plays fair. Ember must carve her way through elemental gods and save a world that barely remembers her.

Every fight is a clutch moment waiting to happen. Enemies telegraph their moves, and it’s on you to read the tells, nail the timing, and decide if you’re going for a parry, a last-second dodge, or dropping a massive ability to turn the tide. Between runs, you’ll unlock companions, stack gear, and chase wild build combos that make every attempt feel different and every victory hard-earned.

What is new in this demo:

Expanded World and Story – Explore new elemental zones and face tougher enemies and bosses.

Fresh Allies and Abilities – Unlock additional companions, each bringing unique abilities to reshape your strategy.

More Progression Unlocks – Access more upgrades and gear to experiment with powerful build synergies.

Sharper combat – Faster rewards, refined balance, and clearer enemy telegraphs make every encounter more intense.

“Eclipse Breaker aims to feel like a lost classic you just discovered, with modern responsiveness and depth,” said creator Jorge Rodriguez. “This demo is the best entry point yet, and we are excited to see new players and creators jump in during Next Fest.”

Players can wishlist Eclipse Breaker on Steam now and download the updated demo when Steam Next Fest begins on October 13. The full game release is coming later this year.
