==Gameplay==
The common gameplay for all games is a platformer video game with beat-em-up combat mixed in. Maddie can use her Eclipse Sword to attack enemies. In addition to the sword attacks, she can also use her fists and kicks to attack enemies, albeit not as powerful as the sword attacks. The "Eclipse" bar, when filled up, can make her sword powerful, increasing damage and using moon-based powers. In addition, the Eclipse Sword is also capable of using elements, using it to attack enemies with special abilities, while also being used for puzzles. TBD.
