We’re thrilled (and a bit emotional) to bring you the last major content update before Dragon Eclipse is fully ready to leave Early Access in December this year. That doesn’t mean the game is finished yet—but more about it later.

We couldn’t have done all of this without your constant feedback and genuine support along the way. Huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you for being a part of the Dragon Eclipse story.
You all rock! ❤️

Now, without further ado, take a look at the content wrap-up for the game.


Each act of the game now features its own distinct biome: Forest, Desert, Snowland, Jungle, and a brand-new Shadow Realm map. Expect not only a stunning visual overhaul but also more strategic depth. The risk-reward ratio will be higher, with tougher enemies, but also richer rewards, and more decision-making opportunities to enhance the experience.


Difficulty levels are being replaced by the system of acts, which makes the game more challenging and enhances it with extra story pieces. The fifth, final act, set entirely in the Shadow Realms, will provide the greatest challenge, even for the most experienced Tamers. It also features a unique economy system that will test your deck-building skills.


Prepare to encounter two new elite foes on your way. Those include:

• Knight: An elite enemy with a defensive approach, focusing on dodging and shielding itself.
  
• Spider: This creepy elite enemy applies weakness and stun effects. Beware: it weakens the last Mystling that attacks it at the start of its turn.

To spice things up even more, there’s a new boss willing to give you a beating:

• Uttur: The new acid-inflicting boss. Attack it, and Uttur will retaliate by poisoning your Mystlings with corrosive acid.

Even though the content part of Dragon Eclipse is being wrapped up, over the next few weeks we’ll still be working on the game. However, our focus will shift to fine-tuning and technical updates such as the Switch port, localization, gamepad & Steam Deck controls refinement, various UX improvements, and bug fixes. As mentioned, we’re planning for the 1.0 release to go live somewhere in December this year.

Also, our dev team has another project on the horizon, so stay tuned for more info about that! Who knows, maybe the story of our Mystlings isn’t finished yet…


Feel free to hop in the game, try the new stuff out, and let us know what you think. And as always, we still invite you to join our Discord server [discord.com]to have a chat, ask questions, or just hang around. Everyone is welcome.

Until next time, Tamers!

This patch fixes (or at least attempts to fix) 2 bugs found by the community.

- Fixed Frogmar losing strength before attacking
- Potential fix for game softlocking when killing multiple enemies

PS.: This is the first hotfix we've decided to detail like this. Tell us if you like it, or find it annoying. Much love <3

We know you've gotten used to our bi-weekly updates, where we delivered cool new content for the game—whether it was new maps, new Mystlings, or new Tamers. We've always made sure to pleasantly surprise you during each update cycle. However, this time we had to pause the release of new content to improve what already exists. We’ve seen your comments and feedback (especially the critical ones), and we knew we had no choice but to sit down and focus on serious improvements to the game, both in terms of difficulty balance and the user interface. So today, we present a list of changes and fixes that we hope will significantly enhance your experience with Dragon Eclipse and make it even more enjoyable.


In this area, we've been working hard and it was our top priority. To fully experience the changes, we recommend starting from Eclipse 0, where the differences should be much more noticeable to you.


Work is still ongoing here, but we’ve already made many small and large changes, and there are still plenty more on the horizon. So rest assured—we haven’t said our final word yet, and many more changes are on the way.


We’ve decided to add a clear distinction between different phases of combat. This should clarify and organize the division of combat into its various stages. Let us know in the comments if you like this change!


We’ve increased the gaps between actions performed by different creatures so that it’s clear who is currently acting and which effect is associated with each action. Actions are now arranged in a queue of sequential events, preventing them from blending together.


We redesigned the look of the arrow that indicates which creature to assign a played card or consumable to. We think it looks much better now, but more importantly, it’s clearer.


Moving Mystlings could be somewhat unintuitive, so we’ve revamped the entire system. It is now much more convenient, simpler to use, and definitely faster!


As we mentioned, we’re not done yet. We’re currently planning to create a new tutorial that will introduce new players to the game’s mechanics even better. We’ll also continue improving the UX with further changes and work on rebalancing the gameplay.
Best regards, and we look forward to more of your valuable feedback on what we can improve or enhance in the game!

As always, thanks for being with us during the Early Access! We encourage you to join our Discord server[discord.com] to hang around, ask questions, and give some feedback on the game.

Until the next update! ❤

As usual, here we are, bringing you a pack of fresh additions to the game! 2 unique Mystlings will be waiting for you to tame them. We’re also introducing special Mystlings-related quests. By fulfilling those, you’ll be rewarded with an item of a new type - one of the powerful Mystling gifts. We’re also changing the layout of the Village (the main hub) to make it smoother to navigate and a better-looking one. Lastly, you can expect Tara, a new friendly NPC, to be your helping hand throughout the journey.

Meet Gaiadon and Lear, new creatures that will aid you in your quest! Gaiadon, fueled by the powers of earth and nature, is a unique Mystling, only able to evolve during- and for the remainder of a particular battle. Lear, one born of fire, can turn his wounds into power, gaining strength equal to health lost when hurt.

From now on, you’ll start noticing Mystlings asking for your help while in the village. When talked to, they’ll express their needs and give you special Mystling-related Quests. Your aid won’t go unnoticed - Mystlings will reward you with their Gifts, acting as a new type of permanent upgrade to help you on the way!

We changed the layout of the main hub, making it easier to explore and move around. The buildings are now further separated, finally giving their inhabitants some space to breathe!

Say hello to Lyanne, your brand-new, personal guide, aiding you on your adventure! Lyanne will be providing her helping hand during the most crucial moments in the game. She’s not that much of an annoying backseater, we promise!

Underneath the biggest changes, there are dozens of smaller ones, aimed at ironing out the game and improving the overall UX. Those include a few new story events, minor enemy balance changes, User Interface popups overhaul, improved saves during battles, and multiple bug fixes.

Let us know which of those changes is your favorite! Try out the updated version of the game, while we’re working hard on the next content update, about to drop within the next 2 weeks.

As always, thanks for being with us during the Early Access! We encourage you to join our Discord server[discord.com] to hang around, ask questions, and give some feedback on the game.

Until the next update! ❤

As usual, a full changelog with each of the changes mentioned:

• Added 2 new Mystlings: Gaiadon and Lear. You can unlock them by reaching new Experience Levels.
  
• Added a new mechanic: Mystling Quests. Talk to your Mystlings in the Village and help them in need. This features additional unique battles and permanent upgrades (Gifts) for your starter Mystlings!
  
• Added 3 Mystling Quests for Iceling, Golomo, and Pinequeak.
  
• Added 3 Mystling Gifts for Iceling, Golomo, and Pinequeak. Receive them by completing corresponding Mystling Quests.

• Improved saving during Battles. Now returning to the Battle after using the Save & Exit button will resume the Battle from the exact situation when the player left it.
  
• The Village has been redesigned.
  
• Multiple popups and User Interface elements have been overhauled.
  
• Right Mouse Button no longer closes some popups.
  
• Rebalanced the Dogring and Siren enemies.

• Fixed a bug where ending the Round was causing a soft lock on rare occasions.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Start of Battle trigger on Blessings and passive abilities wasn’t triggering properly in some cases.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2626860/Dragon_Eclipse/


Another content update just went live! We delivered this one faster than usual, but it’s also smaller than the previous ones. The main highlight is that we added 5 new enemies for you to fight, as well as a new debuff effect. We also changed how the camera behaves during battles and implemented new card visuals to the upgraded Mystling cards. You can also now skip dialogues if you’re a fast reader!


Give a warm welcome to Darkeye, Blue Darkeye, Centervil, Siren, and Dogring. Not like they’re going to love you or anything, since your job will be to beat them down…

Along with new foes, we’re also including a new debuff mechanic: Acid! It reduces power by 1 for every Acid counter, and at the stand of the round also deals 1 damage for every counter.

To spice the battles up a little, and make them feel more dynamic, we added a reactive camera movement! The screen will now behave adaptively to the actions you perform. Try it out for yourselves!

This one is plain and simple - if you’re a fast reader, you’ll always be able to skip the dialogue and get back to the juicy gameplay!

We felt like the upgraded Mystling cards deserved to stand out from the crowd, so we shined them up a bit!

That’s a wrap!

That’s not a lot of changes, but we hope those will make the game feel more polished and enjoyable!
As always, thanks for being with us during the Early Access! We encourage you to join our Discord server[discord.com] to hang around, ask questions, and give some feedback on the game.
Good luck and have fun playing! ❤

We’re flying into August with another freshly baked content update. It's about time for some actual dragons to join our pack of Mystlings. What's more, we’re adding a Leaderboard, letting the most competitive of you flex your scores among the other Tamers worldwide. We’re also introducing new Enchant Arena mechanics and an overall game Compendium.
As always, thank you for participating in the Early Access process! Many of the changes were inspired by your comments and feedback, so we’d love for you to keep them coming.

Watch our official trailer update for a visual overview of what’s been added to the game:


Introducing to you: Luminesca and Emberling! These two beauties are fully-fledged dragons (kinda funny how we didn't have those yet). You can unlock them as you climb through the experience levels. Luminesca’s perks make her elusive, allowing her to dodge attacks after getting hurt too much. On the other hand, Emberling can break some rules and freely choose the opponent he wants to attack!

This mechanic includes 8 new enchantment cards that allow casting powerful effects on a particular slot in combat. For example, you can enchant your middle combat position with one of the cards, so it will keep adding 2 shields to any Mystling in this slot at the start of each round, until the end of battle.

After achieving victory on any difficulty level, you will face the Eclipse Crystal, a defenseless opponent designed for one purpose: to test your damage-dealing skills. You’ll have several rounds to inflict as much damage as possible. A global leaderboard will then upload your score, enabling you to compare your results with other players. Each difficulty level boasts its own separate leaderboard, to ensure the whole thing is fair. Go and give that Eclipse Crystal a good beating!

Knowledge is power, and the new Compendium feature is here to arm you with all the information you need. Accessible from the pause screen, the Compendium lists all cards, blessings, and statuses, along with reminders of basic game mechanics. This should come in handy as a go-to guide for both veterans and newcomers!

We hope those new changes will make the game an even more fun experience for all of you! Future content updates are in the works, with a new update planned for around 2 weeks from today.
Thanks for being with us during the production process. All comments, questions, and feedback are always welcome! The easiest way to get in touch with us is by joining our Discord server[discord.com].
Good luck and have fun playing! ❤

Dragon Eclipse launched into Early Access more than 3 weeks ago. Thank you SO MUCH for being a part of this journey and providing a lot of feedback! We read and analyzed all your comments thoroughly. Based on that, we’ve already released a few small updates, focusing on bug & crash fixing, and various UX-related features.

Today we’re proud to present you with the first full-fledged content patch for Dragon Eclipse - the Shadow Realm! As many of you have beaten the game on the highest difficulty level, this brand-new land offers an even greater challenge for the bravest ones.

Rest assured, this is just the beginning of our journey. We’re already working on new updates of similar size, and we plan to keep releasing them every 2 weeks.

Without further ado, let’s jump straight into it!


Embark on an eerie adventure through the Shadow Realm, which, for the most part, remains a mystery to humanity. It is said that every 1000 years, a double eclipse opens a portal to this world. Last time, the Dragon Guardians closed it at great cost, but they haven't appeared this time. It's up to you to dive into the realm, uncover its secrets, and close the portal for good!


Prepare to face two new foes in the Shadow Realm:

• Fungusmo: this enemy introduces a brand-new mechanic with its two phases. Don’t get too comfortable seeing it dormant.
  
• Exalted Shadowling: another two-phase opponent. One of the phases renders your attacks useless. Or… does it?

Meet Skitterpaw, the new boss of the Shadow Realm. Not to spoil too much, but you can be sure it’s very powerful, as it possesses the power to manipulate elements. This epic battle will test your skills to the fullest!


To add an extra layer of resource management, we’ve made some tweaks to the store & Blessings mechanics. For a small amount of Mystberries, you can now freeze a specific Blessing, ensuring it appears the next time. Additionally, the third Blessing slot is now locked and can only be unlocked by redeeming this slot.


This one you’ll have to explore for yourself! In short, most Mystlings have received additional story events that expand their background and deepen the narrative.


Huge thank you to everyone who decided to give Dragon Eclipse a try. Your overwhelming support and feedback help us keep the development going, so continuous extra suggestions or requests are always welcome!

As announced, there’s tons of more content to come, so stay tuned for future updates!

And if you haven’t already, feel free to join our Discord server to chat with us and other players, share your ideas, ask questions, or just hang around: DISCORD SERVER[discord.com]

The time has come! Dragon Eclipse is out now in Early Access. We’ve all been waiting for this moment for months, and we’re so happy to begin this great journey with you!

Combining team battler and deck builder elements, Dragon Eclipse offers endless fun strategies and combinations. After each run, you'll unlock new Mystlings, cards, and difficulty levels, ensuring the game remains enjoyable for a long time. Create amazing combos, enhance your skills, and boost your statistics to engage each team member uniquely and achieve the impossible. But be careful - the eclipse is inevitable…


6 tamers: each has their own, unique playstyle, as well as a starting deck of cards!

10 Mystlings: the “cute but dangerous”, they are the core of the game. Tame, train, and evolve them, so they can become unstoppable!

Craft your deck: acquire numerous cards from battles, quests, exploration, and other interactions. Aim for great combos and strategic play to be victorious.

Mind the time: the eclipse is coming. You won’t be able to explore the whole map during a run. Make strategic choices, as some goods will have to be left behind.

Don’t get deceived: despite its looks, Dragon Eclipse demands tactical planning and strategy. Mastering the game will take some serious skills!


Huge “thank you!” to everyone who has been with us through the development process, especially the ones who played the demo and playtested the Early Access build! With your help, we’ve created something we’re proud of, so we hope you - the players - will enjoy your time with the game!

How pleasant it is to write such messages when they carry so much positive information! We are already on the verge of completing the Early Access version, and we wanted to inform you that you will be able to play Dragon Eclipse as soon as June 24th - less than a week from today! We hope the game meets your expectations and that you immerse yourself fully in the adventure we've prepared for you. May the challenges you encounter be both demanding and satisfying!

On this occasion, we have prepared a trailer for you that not only announces the release date to the whole world but, most importantly, shows how the game has evolved since it was presented at Next Fest in the form of a demo, which we hope you enjoyed playing!. The demo is now being removed from Steam, as it no longer reflects the actual game you will get your hands on in a few days. Please take a look at how Dragon Eclipse evolved (just like a fine Mystling does):

Currently, we are working on the final touches, and a large number of beta testers are working on catching minor bugs to ensure your future gameplay satisfaction will be as high as possible. However, we would like to remind you that this is still Early Access with all its challenges, and the game will continue to develop dynamically over the coming months. We count on your support, valuable comments, and feedback to help us make this game even better! We can't wait to see how you receive this title. See you in the land full of Mystlings and the upcoming eclipse!
