    The gameplay of Poetry of Blood: Eclipse is fast-paced, mechanically deep, and highly satisfying, offering a unique and engaging roguelite experience with excellent combat, movement, and a rewarding skill ceiling. While weapon balance and overall polish are still a work in progress due to its early access status, the core gameplay is solid and fun, especially for players who enjoy pattern recognition and experimentation.

Overall, the story may not satisfy those looking for a deeply immersive or relaxed storytelling experience.

    • “The story and characters are interesting and the visuals are really good.”
    • “Rather than relying on narrative exposition or elaborate storytelling, the game builds its identity around movement, reflexes, and mastery.”
    • “There are huge problems with translation (hopefully to be fixed) that make it extremely difficult to understand the plot or any lore at all, and also make reading perk descriptions tiring, but not impossible.”
    • “There are huge problems with translation (that hopefully will be fixed) that make it extremely difficult to understand the plot or any lore at all, and also make reading perk descriptions really tiring, but not impossible.”

    • “The game does have a story, but I didn’t really read it.”
