Crazy how an official Roblox event about the CLASSIC ERA OF ROBLOX doesn’t even have a single game in the event that feels classic, while a random rpg game that actually resembles the classic era of Roblox while also being an amazing game overall blows the entire event out of the water
have you ever played one of the games
@@ademirobaderna Yes, at least one of em. It was an fps, and it just felt like the average fast paced shooter.
@@ademirobadernaAll of the games in the event are cashgrabs that only popped up in the past year or two and aren't even classic, that braindead Roblox players think are the best things ever made.
@@toyuu.paledll I wouldn't say they were all cash grabs, given how Dusty Trip and Arsenal (to name 2) were pretty high effort. Most of it was a cash-grab, though. All my homes hate Blade Ball.
@@Digicara64 dusty trip ain't even original it's stolen from another game...
shout out to all the other people who recommended this to eclipse, this game is a masterpiece and I've been waiting for his first impressions for FOREVER
your welcome bro
You are very much welcome
youre welcomee
Hells yeah brother!
welcomr :)
NO WAY ECLIPSE COVERING PEAK??? I LOVETHIS GAME SO MUCH
You better play the first 2 paper marios if you haven’t already then. (They are even more peak)
Same!
Its finally getting popular
@Poisonouspeewater Well they are what this game is based on and inspired by (and Earthbound) so obviously they are better, but the game is just amazing for Roblox, especially since it is only in it's demo phase
Im sorry peak? Im sorry peak? Im sorry peak? Im s-
2 positive videos in a row? Impossible
what the flip!
No fricking way
Yup.
Eclipse is Dead.
Thats a skin walker.
@@cezar6411 truly an evil clone of eclipse or something

fun fact the creator set up a few donation gamepasses in a private game before the games release and took them down because of how many people give him money (he goes crazy over it)
tea when he recieves 3 robux
so this is a TESTER of the game not the owner
whoopsies
when roblox players wanna pay for good shit
tea is not the creator, he's a tester for the game
@@mrdoomslay2324 i have no idea why i never noticed this
my fault og
@ctyac when he spreads misinformation on accident
Heres a tip for blocking, the game also has a hidden "defense". it basically decides how much damage you dont take. say if you have 2 defense and the opponent does 3 damage, then you will only take 1 damage. blocking gives you +1 defense for the turn you block on. if you block for both turns, you get +2 defense. use this as you will.
yo defense might be op
@@hajebde8282 it would be, but there isnt any good ways to get it without losing something else. like attack for example.
@@LukeM-f1oPretty much negated if you use something like dynamite
defence build is fun and op at the same time tbh, the only problem is you need to invest in bp so much
@@LukeM-f1othere's a defence up card that costs 6 bux to get and 6 BP to use but that is you know, 6 BP thats something you gotta build around. Also a card that boosts how much defence you get from blocking.
I feel like not uploading YBA anymore pretty much culled out most of the 9 year olds that don't know what a good game is. This is probabaly the most likely reason why we're getting more good games recommended.
Eclipse hasn’t made a genuine yba video in like, over 6 months. What are you on about.
@@Sky_Blue_Crew yeah that’s like what they said at he beginning of their comment
@@hellofellowbotsss yes but still, they said it’s the reason we’ve been getting good games lately, when we’ve gotten bad games a lot when eclipse was well off of yba
@@Sky_Blue_Crew Please reread my comment
@Sky_Blue_Crew right, thats what OP was saying! After a while, like the 6ish months as youve pointed out, the people who watched for YBA just stopped coming back, and left the percieved demand for Roblox JoJo videos on the channel in Eclipse's eyes. Those videos got views before, so he made them for the money (as hes come on the channel and said). But now since those viewers have been weeded out, the people left want to see eclipse cover good games, and he is doing it because the incentive for making YBA videos is not there any more.
This was the classic event all along...
Props for the developers for actually managing to immerse players into old roblox
6:05 There is also a perk called "Hard Mode" basically gives enemies more dmg and you and lose the ability to dodge/parry moves but you gain 40% exp gain
Is actually 30% 🤓 ☝️
@@ЛеонидЗурнаджиactually it is 40% more xp gain, you likely mixed it up with enemies moving 30% faster

Heck yeah block tales getting some love! Honesly im glad you like the game i really hope when the game gets a new story chapter you play it and make a vid on it as well! (also you forgot a little something and its called the pit, in the the starting area after you exit the hotel theres a manhole near the dock entrance and if you drop in theres a tiny hole, after entering the manhole and the tiny hole using the shrink card theres a bunch of rats and a boarded hole in a wall and after entering you can fight through 20 floors of enemie, after 10 floors you get a free ball attack card, at 20 floors you get another ball attack card, also have fun trying to get to floor 20 cuz lord help you against floor 19)
I love the 4 statue spam

I was literally just about to ask you to review block tales until you uploaded this. Perfect timing!
Im happy you covered this game! I played it with my friend not long ago and we did have a blast! Even more with reading all the silly dialogue.
eclipse has finally reached a positive videos streak i hope it continue cuz all the game that come from it are super fun
I am SO glad you covered this game. I had a lot of fun with it and I wanted its playerbase to grow so more people can experience it. Everyone should.
the npcs doing nothing but giving funny flavor text with no real reward is definitely a carry over from the earthbound inspiration side of things. it's understandable if you think it's useless but it's an earthbound staple and adds a lot of charm, in my opinion
Paper mario had lots of those too.
Heck if anything most rpgs have atleast a few npcs that do nothing but have flavor text
I love that it's only flavor text so no cool items are locked behind talking to random npc number #47.
If there were only useful npcs then the world would be a bit dead I guess, the useless npcs are just nice and they give the game life
I think most RPGs have npc's with flavor texts, it isn't only a "Mother staple."
tbh the silliest npc dialouges are from wood guys theyre just silly :D
Now we jusst need a Combat Initiation video to complete a 3 good games streak
I recommended this, just hope he plays it
Combat initiation mentioned
Combat initiation is great
combat initiation is overrated imo. it feels like they took a bunch of random mechanics that seemed "cool" and threw them in without consideration to how it affects the overall gameplay loop, and it ends up not meshing well at all.
@@deadstroyer952 hakita put 25% of his life into ultrakill. combat initiation is basically that but with slower movement, and you end up calling it a mesh of random mechanics?? seriously research it before you trash on it
terry is a god btw.
you can fight him at the start of the game if you say "how about i kill you" during the first very dialogue prompt.
he has 100 hp, is WHAT I WOULD SAY if they didn't BUFF that all the way to 999.
he also uses the attack penguin missile.
it does at least 500 if you guard, 1000 if you don't.
you also cannot dodge it. this of course, instantly defeats the player and gives the message "The sheer force of the attack caused [USER] to faint".
its now 1 million hes getting stronger
I love it when you do positive content. It is so much fun to watch someone enjoy a fucking game
Ikr
loved this game, clearly the people did as well as for the first 3 days it released it had a 100-99% like/dislike ratio. Really cool and there's still a decent amount of stuff in this game you didn't cover (secret areas, the rat dungeon etc)
I absolutely knew without a doubt in my mind he'd love this game
It’s a lot like EarthBound so how could you not love it?
It’s really nice that Eclipse enjoys tales about bowls. He really loved hearing about how round they are and what kind of objects they can hold- OOPS I JUST SPILLED MY BOWL AND IT SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
Interesting to see you mention people not liking talking to the NPCs and it being a major part of the game. I'm a bit of a "check everything" person when it comes to games, which includes talking to everyone and seeing their dialogue. The thought that people don't enjoy that kind of stuff didn't really cross my mind.
fr bro, i do that especially to not miss out any secret interactions or stuff like that.
i talk to every npc i see.
You never know if they'll give you something or if what they say will be funny
W i love this game it really defines roblox
hey your the block tales tier list guy!
@@DaveTheDummy120 yes i am
the thing i love the most is that it doesn’t force the classic theme on your avatar
it's kinda odd though, since playing the game just makes you want to make a classic avatar for it if you can
After playing a bit, I made an alt account cosplaying as the knights you fight in Blackrock Castle.
@@dog7676 not really, i never had the drive to make a classic avatar
and if you want to you can just do it, this is a win win
If you like games like ultrakill, or just movement shooters in general, I HIGHLY recommend Combat Initiation. Its a short but really fun roguelike that somehow got buried, because there are only like ~350 players.
Their major update was taking a bit and they had said that their player count will deminish due to how much time it will take, thankfully it seems to be near complete and they still need a couple things to do.
@@kiy8415 That's honestly incredible to hear, one of my main problems with the game is that its too short/there isn't enough content for how in-depth and fun the mechanics are. I don't really care how long they take to update the game, as long as they keep the quality consistent and do this game justice.
I think the reason it has so few players is because it can't be played on mobile and 90% of roblox players use mobile
@@aol9936 combat initiation would be the worst possible game to give mobile support
@@shelly5703 I didn't say they needed to add mobile, I just said that the game doesn't have many players because mobile isn't supported
So glad you liked this game, it's really amazing!!
I love this game with a fiery passion, I'm so glad eclipse is covering it
In the settings, you can change your menu 'flavor'. At a glance, this just changes your GUI, but in battle, it actually changes your idle animation! For example, 'Rose' makes you look really cutesy and hyperactive, while 'Chocolate' makes you levitate.
the red and green one changes your idle to the mario and luigi idle from bowser's inside story
I use chocolate cause its cool
I like this game, good turn based combat, and even the map has things you can interact with, from bux you can collect to buy cards from a questionable individual in an alley, there’s puzzles around (though mostly found near the end) and there’s a pit where you can challenge enemies for some quick cash or experience only after you got the shrink card, it’s a game I think will someday outshine sol’s rng.
People were dissapointed that the classic efent didn’t have a 1x1x1x1 bossfight, I wouldn’t be surprised if this game eventually does. It is maybe the best game on roblox imo.
well, the classic event did have one, but it ended up being really anticlimatic, in the end.
i have high hopes that if there does end up being one, it'll be great.
@@kirinsatsuthe boss fight was classic because in the old days of roblox, boss fights are literally just an npc chasing you, so you cant complain. THE THING IS IS THAT THEY GIVE NO FUCKING REWARD-
Amazing video!!! I'm so surprised to see two amazing games being showcased and hope we can continue the streak. I hope Eclipse will play Robot 64 next because people who haven't heard about it need to hear
6:35 this game is absolutely a cake walk without the hard mode card equipped so much so I completed it without attacking.
I mean countering and items like bombs still count as attacking to some people sooo…. More like no sword, ball or dynamite
How the hecc did you get past Cruel King bcus he heals every time he calls for help
What about enemies that dont even move from their spots at all? Did you just flee from those?
@@NewibeBecause they're lying.
@@Pitchdaburb i say that in the rules at the start of my video
@@Newibecruel king was much easier than pillar (in my opinion)
Finally, a great RPG game for Roblox!
Remember, I just tried and finished this game so quick. It's mechanics are simple to understand and you could have some fun with this game so fast.
If the story goes as whacky and crazy as earthbound it's a certified masterpiece
I think its gonna be more like Paper Mario, theres more Paper Mario influence over the game than Earthbound and the whole concept of needing to get the 7 SFoTH swords is largely based on The Star Spirits from Paper Mario
Sooooooooo
Especially when the swords are based on ‘Sword Fight On The Heights’ you know it’s gonna be good.
Eclipse has finally played peak
Kinda wish he found this out but changing the menu flavor as it’s called in options changes your stance in combat encounters. It’s only cosmetic but it’s cool. And if you attack an enemy when they aggro onto you, you get a first attack damage buff when the encounter starts.
Oh that's interesting, the Defend mechanic works kinda like in Deltarune. You sacrifice a turn by "doing nothing" but in exchange you get a defense boost and some energy to use your non basic attacks moves
it's a lot more useful for solo play, as you can attack once then guard accordingly.
(also FOCUS is literally just TP. i fucking love the ice dagger. its hilarously broken)
Its pretty good to use it to refill sp if you could dodge attacks easily
@@dani.2479 honestly, because of the ice dagger, when I saw the others I felt disappointed.
an eclipse undertale video would be peak
I've already completed the game with a friend and GOOD LORD this game is hella fun. Parrying feels smooth, the bosses were fun, and the best part is: Not a SINGLE robux option/gamepass. The game also prevents you from becoming too overpowered as after a while, (once you reach level 8) every single enemy (besides the dungeon ones) instantly die. In my opinion, this is the best Roblox game that has came out so far this year.
Can't you turn off auto kill in settings?
Not sure if it'd give exp though.
@@Shadow_Mage yes and yes... until a certain level atleast
@@Shadow_Mageyou can in the settings but you get no xp from the fight
Once again would like to recommended microwave dinner a 3d platformer where you play as a tiny microwave, solve puzzles and do parkour.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THIS GAME!!!
@@thenerfkid9228 👌
I’ve played that game it’s good but it lacks a sense of direction I got lost for a while trying find a stage entrance lol other than that mishap on my end it was a pretty good game
One of the things I like the most in the game is the OST's. Its pretty simple but great at the same time
YOOOO GOOD GAMES ON TOP?!
I can’t believe it. I legit recommended this game like yesterday and it seems a lot of people also did what I did but waaaay earlier.
bro i love this game and im not even og to roblox 😭
Same, I started by, like, what, 2015-2016? Pretty late but that didn't stop me from falling in love with Block Tales
@@nachardou.4780thats not late its almost been a decade since then
im really happy that eclipse is actually playing games he likes playing instead of doing what will get him the most veiws, lets hope some of your other vids can blow up so you can actually enjoy awesome games like this
Bro didn't even talk about the pit in block tales, added it from the sewer at spawn
Quad statue jumpscare
@@Puffman728I still haven’t beaten that… THING.
@@boots1070 Just beating that encounter is more rewarding than the card you get on floor 20. Its NOT worth it
Just beat that had 7 bombs 2 your 1 pie. 20 hp, 15 sp. And 2 defensive cards. It's quite easy if you play smart
Fireball jumpscare lol
I love how this game is just in it's demo and everyone is already loving it.
Still wish you could have party members other than other players
that would be fun
if it was added, it'll probably be a thing you can turn off and on in the settings
either
- play with your friends
- play with characters
Your actions count as 2 action commands, so that’s compensated for that.
Well how did it go in your opinion? Do you like the summons?
@@fatdinosaurfood8059 I think its the next best thing if we aren't getting NPC party members
Eclipse is finally finding diamonds in the rough and I'm glad he's happy about it.
ANOTHER good bowl that eclipse enjoyed?!?!? roblox must be coming into an age of great bowls!!!
I love that eclipse is playing these great underrated Roblox games. It’s nice to see eclipse be so positive about lots of these Roblox games.
Your probably not even gonna see this comment but, You should try The Battle Bricks, It’s like the battle cats in the classic Roblox style but a lot more different mechanics wise.
ngl its a really good game, but i doubt him or his viewers would enjoy it
theres also that one guy whos gonna say "just play bc"
Four things I want to say. You can use the sword, ball, and dynamite to hit enemy npc before they reach you. This gives you an attack boost at the start of the round.
If you go back to the ice village after saving the guy with dynamite, he gives you a pie. It heals 30 hp I think.
Shrinking helps you get into small areas. Go back to the area with the dog park cause there is something there you get thanks to the shrink ability.
There is a place you can fish.
eclipse, if you didn’t know you can use your sword(or dynamite) to hit the npc that make you fight first before a fight starts giving you the first strike advantage which will give you more damage on your first strike, the dynamite gives you more first strike damage but it wouldn’t usually be necessary. Love your content as always and thanks for making a video on this game!
I love turn base games and i dont regret when this game randomly pop up in recomended and i click it👍
I legit just beat this 10 hours ago. I seen a video of when it was not even a demo and was like, "wow, can't wait to try this!".
it lived up to what was shown. truly can't wait for this game to fully come out fr.❤
So glad you covered this game, it deserves all the praise it’s getting🙏
My favourite part about this gamw is the ability to indulge my friends in it too, im a loooong time paper mario fan and this just lets me drag my friends in and have a ton of fun
broooooo the fact that even the man the legend nicopatty made a song here says something i cant even believe that something like this could be made im blessed by this game
so glad that you played this game! its super cool
Love this game! When I played it, I thought it was truly awesome. Didn't expect Eclipse to like it so much as well, but the quality speaks for itself. Hurray for good games!
My friends and I played through the entire thing today and got to say, even for a demo this has got to be one of the best games on roblox
hell yeah i was really hoping you'd check this out and its sick that you did
7:40
Theres actually ONE more NPC that does something
If you free the Accountant from the rocks in the Dynamite area, and then go back to Roadtown, nearby the Mayor’s house you’ll see a green guy (aka Accountant Jim) standing by the cabin
If you talk to him, he will give you a Whole Pizza (That item heals 50 HP) and get the “A Rock And A Hard Place” badge
Though if you havent noticed, in Bizville theres a Job Center building that I presume will be used for quests (meaning more NPCs will do more things in the future)
My one negative with the game is the sometimes annoying, ambiguous, block timing. Outside of that i love it!
Another thing to note is that since this game is inspired by paper mario, when an enemy notices you in paper mario. You can attack before the battle even starts by using your weapon, so you can do the same here too and when you do you get a attack boost for your first turn.
Edit: forgot to mention that the developers really did a good job to make sure they really put it out there that their game is inspired. As for someone who played Paper Mario thousand years door this was a neat mechanic in paper mario and to see this here really made me love this game.
Actually, the attack boost stays until you either make an attack move in combat or you run away
That said, I used it as an opportunity to defend so I can restore my sp
I’m glad eclipse has been having fun recently (:
This game just screams the Gameboy/NDS Era with the Earthbound and Alphadream Mario and Luigi's series.
I absolutely adore how bizville's theme is inspired(?) by Onnet. And how the composer samples the "Wow!" and many other Earthbound soundfonts
SO SURPRISED TO SEE THIS ECLIPSE LIKE THIS GAME!
1:58 - 2:02 "but it also sometimes feels like the game is sort of playing itself" This is why I love the Mario & Luigi games so much, because you actually have to put in inputs and playing the game instead of just pressing a button.
Superstar Saga FTW
one more thing that should be talked about is that the game lets you fight with other players as ONE PARTY
you and up to 3 other people can be in the same fight and it's really fun to play with friends :D
Fun fact, changing your "flavor" in your menu. it doesn't only change your menu color it also gives you a different idle animation and two are straight up Mario and Luigi
Im happy that eclipse put to light a new good game
as a person who finish this in 1 sitting, this is fun.
The places,the music,the paper mario feelings...oh my god this game is a master piece
To be honest one of the most fun retro-themed games. Good video!
The lore is amazing so far a king who wants to save his kingdom by misusing the sword he was given by “someone”
Not to mention, he had that vision of his kingdom being destroyed in the future. Could’ve probably been given to him by a manipulative villain to try and make him to do evil for all we know
Who wants to bet its a classic roblox hacker
Block Tales is goated (Happy SP, Hardmode and Ante up should be the cards to buy from the BUX shop if you're playing), it's honestly better than roblox's classic event, thank you SO MUCH Eclipse for covering this game honestly its underrated
Thank you for reviewing Block Tales
I glad you really enjoyed block tales. I also had a ton of fun with it.
i'm gonna try this later, glad to see that people are showing good games and not something they know is garbage to torture eclipse
Eclipse being genuinely happy and optimistic is like mario games on ps5
This reminds me of adventure story. Too bad it got abandoned I really enjoyed it
Also there is a pit where you do 20 waves of different enemy’s and wave 19 has 4 statues and all of them can 1 hit you if you take fatal damage it’s super difficult also it’s the final wave currently in the game
Looks like the complaint you had will be looked into in the future chapters, the creator of the game mentioned NPCs will give more unique rewards for doing side-quests, like giving a rare item that is really good, giving you some form of currency like TIX and others.
this game is almost like paper mario or mario & luigi, and I love that about it. this will be a game I promote to people who want an actually good game to play. promote it to everyone possible,and make its presence known.
Fun Fact:
in the settings you can change the color scheme of your menu.
while this may look like a nothing burger it ALSO servers as a way to change up your idle stance in fights.
while this does not change anything *gameplay* wise it can help your avatar have the right feel for when you are in battle.
im utterly perplexed at how just chapter 1 alone is so good and plentiful with content, and theres EIGHT CHAPTERS??? blows my mind
From looking at it, its definitely a 2D game... And I sure do love myself a 2D game once in a while, thanks for showing this Eclipse!
Yes if people are gonna start talking about block tales I’m all for it it’s so good bro
the roblox classic event we wanted
This game is so damn underated i would 100 percent recommend this game its so fun but i wont force tho if you wanna play it play it i wish more people knows this peak of a game
The npc’s imo have great dialogue, for example if yku save jim then come back to mayor monty he can tell you a story from his adventuring days
Well, if you enjoyed the engaging gameplay then… you definitely would really enjoy the first 2 Paper Mario games! I do know that you have little time, but I’d say it’s genuinely worth your time, as those games are super fan and extremely charming!
I understand your complaint about NPCs not really being talked to often, but considering it takes inspiration from Paper Mario (64 and TTYD) and Earthbound, where a lot of talkable NPCs don't really do a whole lot outside of dialogue, I think it's fine.
Also, aside from the required NPCs (either ones that give you clues or key items to progress the story), there's not one, but TWO people that give you something (I think, forgot if there was more).
good vid, 10/10
This game reminds me so much of a game called Adventure Story that stopped getting updates. Glad to see a game like this get attention
I love this game, thank you Mr. Eclipse, for showing us the best game ever.
I started in 2013 but still Roblox was so fun back then and glad they bringing it back
Yeah, i feel like the NPC dialogue is very Earthbound inspired. As Earthbound specifically points out that most NPCs in the game are not important to the main story, and are just to flesh out the world or show a glimpse into their life
