Weve got a fresh update for you and this one should make your runs feel noticeably smoother and a bit more fun to experiment with. Here is what weve been cooking.

Performance and Optimization

First big change: enemy rigidbodies are gone. This takes a huge load off the physics system, so the game wont freak out when the screen gets busy. Your FPS should feel a lot happier now.

We also slipped in a few extra optimization tweaks just to keep things running clean.

Localization

Good news. A new localization system is in place. This means language support is going to get much easier moving forward and more players will be able to enjoy the game comfortably.

Leaderboard Glow-Up

The leaderboard now shows which character and weapon everyone used. So yes, you can finally spy on the builds of the people sitting above you. Steal their ideas. Outplay them. The usual.

Skill Buffs

Some skills were feeling a bit too shy so we gave them a confidence boost. They should perform way better now and open the door for more fun builds.

Difficulty Options

You can now pick from three difficulty levels. Maybe you just want a chill warm up, maybe you feel like suffering a little. Either way, you have options now.

\nUI and Icon Touch-Ups

We polished a bunch of UI elements and icons to make everything look a bit cleaner and easier on the eyes.

Echoes of Eclipse Update 0.5.4

\nThis update focuses on smoother performance, cleaner visuals and a few gameplay tweaks that make each run feel more consistent and rewarding. Heres everything that changed.

\nOptimization

We made several performance improvements so the game runs more smoothly on a wider range of systems.\n A new effect density slider has been added. If your FPS dips during chaotic moments, you can now lower the amount of visual effects and keep the action running comfortably. If you enjoy the full chaos, you can turn it up too.\n Damage text clutter could cause FPS drops in busy scenes, so this has been optimized and now runs much more efficiently.

Gameplay

Bosses and mini bosses now stand firm against fear effects. This keeps their fights more predictable and challenging.\n Elite enemies can no longer be executed. They are meant to be tough, and now they will stay that way.\n Breakables and the chest screen received refreshed visual effects to make looting feel a bit more satisfying.\n Enemy stat buffs that escalate during the run are now handled on the server. This ensures consistent behavior and better balancing for everyone.\n Gold drops from breakables now scale with your run. The longer you survive, the more valuable those breakables become.\n The Echo skill got a nice bump. The clone that appears now hits harder and performs better in crowded fights.\n Necromancers Skeleton spawn count now increases as the run progresses. \n Twin Fang Daggers\' damage has been increased. \n Burst of Lightnings skill description has been updated for clarity.

\nUI Improvements

A Claim All button has been added for achievements to save time and make collecting rewards easier.\n The navigation bug in the logout panel has been fixed so the menu behaves as expected.\n The pause screen layout has been updated. A proper scroll view was added to fix elements overlapping or appearing behind buttons.\n A few unclear achievement descriptions have been rewritten.

\nGameplay and Core Systems

At its heart, Echoes of Eclipse is about fast reactions and smart decisions.\nYou begin each run with your chosen weapons and abilities, then face swarms of enemies that grow stronger as you survive.\nWhile you fight, you collect items, upgrade your skills, and shape your build during the battle.

\nSkills, Elements, and Combos

Each skill now belongs to an elemental category such as fire, ice, or lightning.\nThis elemental system brings more depth to combat since some elements interact with others to create stronger effects known as Good With combinations.

\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45818277/61579249079f57b42cfaf96afe58d0764eb93cf1.png\"][/img]All skills have been adjusted and expanded, and several new ones have been added.\nThe combo system feels faster and more powerful, encouraging players to discover new ways to dominate the battlefield.
