Children of the Eclipse is a traditional 2-player retro shooter at heart, wrapped in next-gen graphics, set in a unique far future utopian sci-fi world teeming with life.
Pilot and Flexbucket are a pair of Synthesizers on Planet O-2, where societies are built on scientific research, not on wealth or the strength of an army. Their job is to collect scientific theories and synthesize new ones in the Fringe Zone, a border zone of utopian civilization. Usually, it's a pretty easy-going job of hanging around with interesting people, having parties and fending off wildlife and a few Nasty Boys with non-lethal stun guns, but things quickly take a more serious turn when an advanced Flex-unit goes missing…
Taking inspiration from classics old and new, while adding some spice of its own, Children of the Eclipse's core gameplay is the definition of easy to play, hard to master. Although the game has an immersive action-adventure storyline, the gameplay is never interrupted with cut-scenes or walls of text.
