What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to hear from players during development, learn what needs work in combat, progression and levels, and use that feedback to improve the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have not set a release date for the full version. When Early Access ends will depend on actual development progress.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more weapons, upgrade combinations, levels and story content, and further improve combat. You can check the in-game development roadmap for our priorities and progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can currently combine weapons and classes, strengthen your character, explore different stages and randomized branching paths, and fight beautiful bosses. Some bosses have hidden forms on higher difficulties.

The game also offers Endless Mode, weekly challenges and selectable difficulty.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We may raise the price as the game grows. Any decision to do so will depend on the content added later.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“You can report problems and share suggestions through the Steam discussions or our player communities. We will use player feedback and actual development progress to guide future content and improvements.”

About This Game

Four heroines from Poetry of Blood: Eclipse.

Poetry of Blood: Eclipse is a side-scrolling action adventure. All characters and enemies use hand-drawn pixel animation, set against 3D scenery. Play as Yue, explore a post-apocalyptic world, defeat its beautiful bosses and bring them back to your research base (harem).

Find a weapon that feels right


Katanas, great katanas, spears, greatswords, chakrams… Each weapon has its own moves and handling. Alongside regular attacks, charge your strikes and time your counters.

Block, dodge and counter in combat. Use double jumps, wall and ledge grabs, and gliding dashes to get around.

Choose your class

Pride, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony… Each class has its own abilities.


Mix weapons and upgrades freely. Even the same class can offer different ways to play.

Choose upgrades and gear

Choose upgrades as you play to improve your abilities or change attack effects. Combine them with each other and with your equipment.

Four ways to grow: choose upgrades, upgrade gear, earn affinity rewards and improve abilities.

You can keep strengthening your character.

Explore stages and branching paths

Stages feature different environments and randomized branching paths.

Face beautiful bosses

Each boss has her own moves. Some also have hidden forms on higher difficulties.

A pixel character jumps and strikes through a sequence of animation frames. A pixel character swings a sword and attacks in midair.

Take on Endless Mode and weekly challenges. You can also choose your difficulty.

Return to base and get to know them

After defeating the beautiful bosses, bring them back to your research base (harem) and spend time with them outside combat.

Talk to them, give gifts and grow closer as you learn their stories. Building these relationships also unlocks items you can take into battle.

A shop character's pixel idle animation. A character's cat-form pixel animation. A character's pixel idle animation. Yue's pixel character sprite. A robot character's pixel sprite. A cat-eared character's pixel sprite.

This is my first game and the first entry in the Poetry of Blood series. I hope you enjoy it!
