    The RNG in this game can either benefit you or screw you over. If the latter you may as well just quit because you aren't going to be able to do anything. Actually the opposite of fun when that happens. Super overrated.

    It is as good as they say. Has high replay and encourages experimentation and new tactics. It will also probably get you reading up on Greek history.

    definitely for few to finish (I didn't make it myself), but the experience of always wanting more from Hades and for all it has to offer is what makes it not just another game, but one of the best of the decade.

    Fun, but not really for me. My friends loved it and kept raving about it but the core gameplay loop never really grabbed me. It's well made with wonderful voice acting and surprising twists and turns as you move through the areas, so worth a try if the concept appeals!

    A game with great concept, voice acting and visuals. That's all of the positives.

    The dialog also starts to repeat quite quickly and you can figure out the loop behind it making the gods' talk with you feel quite superficial after few hours.

    If you want to play a great roguelite from 2020 with a much better overall design, just play Spelunky 2.

Hello everyone, I don't understand people who give a rating of 4 -2 or 0 and write these are monotonous locales, mobs of guys are roguelike and developers have provided you with a variety of weapons and gods, you are in general in courses that you can make combinations of gods and it's incredible every race is unlike another.

    I can tell all the work and love and care put into this game. Unfortunately this just isn't my cup of tea. The amount of effort and polish put into everything is torrential. But it is a rouge lite and for me personally it is a bit repetitive for my liking. If you're into that type of game then you can't go wrong with Hades

    There is little justice to be made trying to review Hades in text form like this. The game's story, gameplay and music are so concise that you can't really explain it without experiencing yourself. Probably the best of it's genre and a must play overall.

    Typically overhyped game at least for me. At least the way of play doesn't distinct itself from Supergiant's previous games, and the narration even weaker than I've expected. Transistor still holds the beer as my No.1 Supergiant game.

    I basically don't understand why so many people love this terrible game! This game is so repeating and so exhausting to play! Every upgrading in this game seems so boring, as well as the story, the enemies, and the level design.

While the writing, voice acting, and general tone of the story are amazing. I am a Dusa (floating snake ball girl) stan, but its crazy seeing how everybody who is invested in this game has certain characters that really connect and make further progression seriously rewarding. I don't think I'd still be playing if this had a bare bones, uninteresting, or just overly serious storyline.
    While story and narrative are important, its the non-stop action that keeps me coming back. Compared to other rogue-likes (in my experience: Enter the Gungeon), there is a far greater reward to getting back on the horse for another run after you fail. The gameplay is fair, but cheesable when the Olympians allow it, and while some weapons are generally "better", there is a great amount of exploration to find new and effective play styles.
    I've seen some reviews complain about being repetitive, but as you get further in more challenges and modifications do become available that mix it a decent amount. And to that note, I think the familiar nature of each run is more of a boon than a bad thing. By nature, rogue-likes are pretty repetitive, but some don't have any narrative to break up the monotony in the way Hades does.
    This is a definite top 10, probably top 5 game all-time that I've played for my tastes. Check it out, the reddit community is pretty hilarious once you get your feet wet too. Even if you don't want to invest 60+ hours like me, getting to the "end" gives you a great deal of fun and storyline.

    Hades is one of the best games I've played in the past few years. The artists who created the world and it's characters did an amazing job with the presentation. Visually, the game is stunning with it's unique art style that looks somewhat like a cross between a comic-book Diablo with a hint of anime influence.

    Something Hades has over every other Rogue-like game I've played is that you actually get some kind of reward for dying. Typically, it's a slog to go through each of the levels and dying only makes things more frustrating depending on the balance of the power-ups you receive throughout play through.

Typically, it's a slog to go through each of the levels and dying only makes things more frustrating depending on the balance of the power-ups you receive throughout play through. In Hades when I die I get to look at the beautiful artwork of the characters as they interact with each other and with Zagreus. I still get to progress in some way regardless of how well I did in the run.

    To combat frustration from repetition, they've included a "god mode" that gives you more health and defense after each death to help you get through everything there is to get through in the game.

    Combat is well fleshed out, the weapon options are varying enough that each run with a different weapon can alter how I strategize what path to take.

    Music and voice acting is amazing as is typical of Supergiant Games.

    It's absolutely the best rogue-like out there, making every other one I used to enjoy seem bland and boring.

    If you like rogue-likes, then great. Get this game, and if you don't.. well.. Get this game. It's the best rogue-likes have to offer.

    I had honestly never played a rogue-lite or whatever it's called before, but this game was a great introduction to the genre. The animation style is great and the characters are all unique with interesting voice acting and dialogue. The gameplay is enjoyable and even though you repeat a lot of the same areas it stays very fresh and fun. One of the best games of 2020 and hell 2021 so far.

Then you find out that the developer decided to make almost every character in the game gay and trans and the only story you're getting is how much they miss their lover and now it's your job to fix them back up.

    Honestly, it felt like the developers really wanted to push their fetish onto unaware gamers. No one ever mentions these things. You'll most likely know the name Aphrodite? Well she's the Greek goddess of beauty, sex, reproduction, etc. When you meet her, her drawing is a nude woman that looks great, until you look up at her face, which is a mans face wearing a wig. Very jarring. They obviously changed that at some point I believe she had a womans face. Because there's a poster you can buy to put on your wall and it has a womans face on it.

    After you beat the game a few times, you start to realize how boring it is beating it over and over to get a new paragraph of story each time. Also, Achilles (Brad Pitt's character in Troy) is gay in the game...

    Hades, set in the mythological universe, was a rogue-like game, but it was surprising that they made the story so solid. The only flaw in the game is that it is very boring after a point to finish the story of the game completely. I think most people have deleted the hades in 3-4 kills, which should not end in 15-16 kills.
    Apart from that, the music is good and innovations are constantly

The voice acting is really good, and sells the expository dialogue well. What also helps is that all the character designs and voices are really distinct from another. This also helps you get invested in it's main narrative as well as any side story you choose to get into.

    The core gameplay is completely fine in the first half. Where the experience really begins to suffer however, is in the latter half of the game. I don't think the game is to difficult, it's probably one of the easiest roguelite/like ever made. But you will be required to do the same thing over and over again, and there is a serious lack of enemy variety. The boss of the second and third chamber are so excruciatingly dull and boring that after a while I just turned on easy mode to go to the ending, but at that moment the game already jumped the shark for me.

    A lot of people say that the variety in this game stems from the runs being really different from another, which I really don't agree with. After a couple of successful runs you can make a pretty good formula in your head you can follow of what items you should pick up and you will basically always win. The combat feels a bit floaty so after you figured out how to make a successful run it just gets stale.

    What really helps is the very beautifully written dialogue and voice acting combined with the music at each successful run. However, the kind of true ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, especially since I didn't expect the game to be over since there wasn't really any build up towards it.

    Still I think Hades is really worth your time, especially for the price tag. If they had done a better job at making more enemies and bosses, and paced everything better the game would probably have stayed fresh for me at the end.

    7/10 for me.

    Ive played supergiant Bastion years ago, So coming into this game I had feeling this game was going to be good and I was right. Everything from the art style, the voice acting, the story, and the GAMEPLAY! I couldnt stop playing this game until i 100% it. I personally consider this one of/ or the best Action Rouglike/Rougelite out to date. Overall consensus this game Is Amazing.

    It's not exactly a hot take to say that Hades was one of the best games to be released in a long time. Even amongst a sea of Triple-A titles in past years, this game really shines through in every aspect that matters: Good story, top tier voice acting, addictive gameplay, plenty of replay-ability, and an amazing soundtrack. The death theme being tied to Dies Irae is a wonderful touch.It's not exactly a hot take to say that Hades was one of the best games to be released in a long time. Even amongst a sea of Triple-A titles in past years, this game really shines through in every aspect that matters: Good story, top tier voice acting, addictive gameplay, plenty of replay-ability, and an amazing soundtrack. The death theme being tied to Dies Irae is a wonderful touch.

    One of the things that really makes it stand out is that, as games continue to push limits of realism in graphics, Hades takes a more refined approach, letting a rich and colorful environment keep the eyes busy during the fast paced top-down gameplay, while boasting an attractive art style and character design that helps push the narrative parts of the game.

    This game reignited my love for Greek mythology through some refreshing re-imaginings of classic characters in a way that seems to pay respect for the origins while also offering new perspectives on a handful of Olympians and others of note.

    Now for my actual hot take: I feel like Hades is possibly the best example I've seen in being "woke" without feeling like pandering at all. The lack of AAA production keeps a level of soullessness out of the equation, allowing for the storytellers to represent LGBTQ+ characters as a natural part of the world without it feeling forced. There are gay, bisexual, polyamorous, and non-binary characters, just as you find in the mythology on which its based, and the inclusion of those themes alongside and intertwined with the story beats around family, love, and loss is refreshing.

    With over 70 hours invested so far, I'm starting to feel addicted.
    There is no escape.

    I would recommend Hades if you are new to the genre. I was a bit skeptical at first but decided to give it a go after reading the reviews. Took me 10 hours to actually 'really like the game' and that moment coincided with the discovery of 'God Mode'. Basically God Mode builds up your physical resistance as you die more and more.

My character became more tanky and I actually felt 'progress'. Onwards the game became easier, I got to try all weapons at least 5 times. As your skills grow, you'll notice your weapon preferences change over time. I initially prefered the bow but now favour the sword. I'm giving the game an 8 not a 10 as I have beaten the final boss a few times and unsure what's left to do. I know there are bounties but I wished the game had more 'stuff' to do. Overall I've played this game for 50 hours and will play for another 50. Unlike what the bad reviews are saying, this game is not a grind. Took me 20 attempts to beat the final boss - but as I said, once you turn on God Mode, the more you die the better. Expand

    Good rogue-like, beautiful art and sound. However, gets very repetitive very soon. No wacky weapons/builds like in Isaac, not much diversity in the levels either - same 4 levels over and over... Not as fun as Isaac, but still a pretty rogue-like with simple polished mechanics.

    Hades é um jogo que a mera proposta já mostra que estamos fora da caixinha, com o protagonista tendo uma rodada para chegar até a superfície com Buffs aleatórios, mas que a cada vez pode ser gerenciado de forma melhor, com isso é difícil o jogo se tornar repetitivo, porque dessa proposta, existem várias coisas que podem ser feitas, e parte disso só se pode se experimentar jogando, mas não é apenas na jogabilidade que jogo triunfa, mas nos visuais, nas mecânicas, nas coisas simples que se aprende, mas demora se para domina las completamente, na História que não termina quando o jogador termina de primeira vez o game. Hades é um jogo que há muito tempo não se via, uma completa experiência que vai agradar a muitos, se não todos que puderem ter o prazer de ter esse Jogo.

    STORY
    There are rarely or even any roguelike games that ever told a story in anyway but Hades takes the cake with this. The characters you meet in this game is memorable, funny, mean, and every other personality one would have. I have played this game for 40-50 hours now and there are still new dialogs to find and I don't know how these voice actors even manage to keep quality and quantity at the same level. The story and the gameplay compliments each other very well and you will never see any sort of dissonance.
    VISUALS
    The visuals in this game is very underrated. The animations and the art style of every part of the world is memorable and just beautiful. It's like a really high quality anime.
    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay in Hades is very fast paced. The game barely gives you anytime to breath and you just gotta keep going and it's always addicting. The amount of weapons and how different they felt really increased the replayability of this game and the mode you get after completing your quest is a nice cherry on top.

    NEGATIVES
    There isn't really much negatives that I could really say. The biggest thing probably for me is that the game gets tedious at times and I just got really bored after 20 hours and I left the game without finishing it. A couple days later I felt like I wanted to go back to the game and so I did and I continued to love it. It might not be a game for everyone but I feel like anyone who buys it will not regret it.

    Hades does a lot of things exceptionally well. The game's visuals are amazing, the voice acting is some of the best ever, the story is pretty interesting if the pace a bit slow, but what makes it so addictive is the gameplay loop.

    It's amazing how easily I get caught up "doing one more room", thinking "oh, this is a great build" or "Is that Artemis up next?". Even though I should be bored at this point, going through only 4 levels, having to play about 25 minutes at a time (approximately the time of a run) to get a tiny drip of story, the idea of having a tiny bit of exposition revealed by running into one of the gods is incredibly tempting. "Oh, Artemis is up! I wonder what she'll say this time".

    The countless "sidequests" are so well integrated into the gameplay and story that it's hard to think of them as sidequests. The rewards are also quite good, so the incentives are both materially useful and thematically satisfying. Chatting up Artemis and getting all her boons gets you gems and access to a weapon's secret form? Sign me up for a Zoom call right now.

    Considering how varied the skills can be, it's actually pretty amazing how narrow the gap is between a bad run and a good run. Sure, a 2% increase in critical hit chance from Artemis doesn't seem like much, but add in her skill that shoots out tiny arrows with every attack - also seemingly useless - and the damage can rack up surprisingly fast. Thanks again, Artemis!

    More seriously, I have some minor issues with it. Sometimes I wish I could get more story without going on a full run. I wish I there were an auto-kill to go back to the beginning instead of continuing on a doomed run or just letting myself get killed (which can take a lot of time with a few Death-defiances left). I wish I could run into Artemis more often without using her trinket. But really, that's about it.

    One thing that people don't mention is how quick the game flows. The only loading in the game happens at startup, a few seconds here and that's it. Zero loading otherwise. After playing FF15, Hades feels incredibly refreshing. The gameplay is super tight and responsive and fun. Picking up stuff is easy, fishing doesn't take forever, every interface is extremely efficient. The fact that I can jump in and out almost instantly is very beneficial to keeping the ultimately repetitive nature of the game fun.

    So yeah, Hades is an amazing game. It has a compelling story and characters, an enjoyable and addictive gameplay loop, beautiful visuals, great voice acting, tons of side content that is actually rewarding, and all this executed superbly with no basically no load time. A+

    Now I need an Artemis spin off game.

    Combat feels the same, its the same thing with the shield, bow and arrow and sword, there is no strategy it is attack, dodge, attack, dodge and so on, absolutely no strategy included.

    I went into the game not really knowing what to expect. I am not a big fan of top-down RPG games or roguelike games as they do not feel interactive and are very grindy.

After the first couple of runs I was already bored with the first level. The poorly named "god mode" is the only reason I stuck it out. I can't bring myself to play anymore after a single completion.

    Roguelike türünü çok sevmem insanı fazla zorlar ve benim gibi hikaye ve hikaye sunumu odaklı bir oyuncu için çok da ideal bir tür değildir. Ancak mesela Children of Morta güzel bir örneğiydi. Hikayesinin sürekli akması tekrar hissini kırıyordu. Farklı karakterler ve combat şekilleri de bunda etkiliydi. Bölümü geçince harita da değişiyordu ama düşmanların saldırı şekilleri hep aynıydı.Roguelike türünü çok sevmem insanı fazla zorlar ve benim gibi hikaye ve hikaye sunumu odaklı bir oyuncu için çok da ideal bir tür değildir.

Bölümü geçince harita da değişiyordu ama düşmanların saldırı şekilleri hep aynıydı.

    Hades oyunu ise hem hikayeyi çok iyi aktarmış, dünyasında dolaşırken bile keşfedebileceğiniz bir kaç yer koymuş, hem de combat çeşitliliğini inanılmaz bir yere çıkarmış. Bunları yaparken düşmanların da gelişmesini ve değişmesini sağlamasıyla oldukça keyifli bir iş çıkarmış. Her öldüğünüzde, evde şimdi nasıl muhabbetler dönecek acaba diye düşünerek meraklanıyorsunuz mesela. Oyunun hikayesi türüne çok iyi uyuyor. Ölüp ölüp dirilmenin, Hades'i yer altı dünyasından kaçmaya çalışmanın mantığı hikaye ve oynanışla uyumlu.

    Combat çeşitliliği şimdiye kadar bir oyunda gördüğüm en üst seviye olabilir. 6 tane yakın ve uzak mesafe silahın yanında, büyü ve kaçınma vuruşlarınız da var. Tüm bunlara tanrıların rastgele verdiği özellikler ve onların komboları da eklenince neredeyse her oynayışınızda farklı şekilde ilerliyorsunuz. Farklı farklı tanrılar çoğu zaman farklı farklı hediyeler vererek sizin oynayışınızı derinden etkiliyor. Üstelik bunlar sadece silahın gücünü artıran yüzde artışları falan değil. Çoğu zaman direkt oynama şeklinizi değiştiren özellikler. Oyun ilerledikçe size yeni özellikler ve geliştirmeler sunmaya devam ediyor. Tek eksi yanı aynı yeri 10 defa bitirmek zorunda olmanız. Evet yer altında 10 defa çıkmanız gerekiyor hikayeyi bitirmek için. İlkinde çok tatmin etse de diğerlerini aynı şevkle oynayamıyorsunuz maalesef. Sonraki seferlerde düşmanlar biraz değişse ve güçlense de temelde aynı şekilde davranıyorlar. Oysa bunun yerine Children of Morta'nın yaptığı gibi yeni harita ve görsel olarak yeni düşmanlar olabilirdi. Böylece hikayede verilen bu ilerleme hissi görselle de desteklenmiş olurdu.
    Oyunun görsel yanı çok çok iyi. Böyle hızlı bir oynanışa rağmen asla karışıklık yaşanmıyor. Müzik ve seslendirmeler de yine çok güçlü. Supergiant Games'in Bastion ve Transistor oyunlarını oynamıştım ama Hades her açıdan onlardan çok daha üstün.

    Oyun credits'ten sonra bile devam ediyormuş ama ben orada bıraktım. Sonuçta 25-30 saate yakın oynamış oldum. Her silahı kasmayla uğraşmak istemedim. Netice itibariyle oynadığım en iyi indie yapımlardan birisi oldu.

    But let´s speak about the important part, the game.
    It plays super smooth, every weapon feels very different, combined with the upgrades(boons) you get, every run feels different. There is not one overpowered way you have to play to be overpowered, there are many different combinations to make the best of your run.
    Roguelite elements are great and make you try "just one more run".

    But the superior part, which made it a solid 10, is the storytelling and progressing. Every run you learn something new about the situation, characters and the motives. It is superb storytelling in a genre, where most believed there is no actual way to progress a story.

    I highly recommend this game to action fans.

    Hades is a roguelike action RPG developed and published by Supergiant Games. It set a new bar for roguelike games with amazing visuals, character development, and storyline. Hades does have a few minor issues that plague most roguelikes. But these don’t impact the overall experience of an amazingly great game.
