El combate es nítido, hay una gran cantidad de rejugabilidad debido a los mapas generados al azar, las habilidades aleatorias que se obtiene cada carrera y diferentes conjuntos de habilidades (arma todos se comportan de manera diferente). Las peleas de jefes son duras y requieren mucho de tu enfoque, pero no son tediosas en absoluto, al contrario son muy atractivas. Todas las criaturas son entretenidas para luchar contra, el juego hace un buen trabajo de equilibrio de diversión y desafío.

    El diálogo está muy bien hecho, crea una atmósfera muy creíble (aunque el juego es fantástico en la naturaleza), que animamos a Zagreus y sus intentos de escapar. Hay muchos personajes secundarios, cada uno con el que quieres hablar más. Francamente mi única queja con el juego es que, después de acostumbrarse a la mecánica, el juego se puede terminar en menos de una hora. Cada "corre", intentas escapar del inframundo, y una vez que mueres empiezas desde el principio. Se tarda un tiempo en aprender el juego por lo que todavía tiene un montón de horas para llegar allí teniendo en cuenta la dificultad general del juego. Pero después de enterarse de todo eso, terminarás una carrera de unos 40 minutos. Definitivamente vale la pena el precio aunque.    … Expand

    I truly don't fear saying Hades is one of the bests game I've ever played. The graphics, that soundtrack, the characters, the wonderful gameplay... Hades is a really good game, even when you don't like roguelite games, Hades can be a really good game, and surely onde of the best games ever made.

With this in mind, I feel confident recommending this game to those who have not traditionally enjoyed roguelikes, as this is probably the only one I have myself. The game so far consists of an assortment of six unlockable weapons, a sword, pike, shield, bow, fists (for quick attacks), and a gun of sorts, and all of these are enjoyable to play with, each requiring a unique play style and bringing their own strengths and weaknesses to the table.

    The visual style of Hades is amazingly colourful and animated, a signature of Supergiant which continually pretty on the eye. Some members of the cast appear as you would expect them to be, whilst others have incorporated unique visuals and characterisations, such as the suddenly wholesome Dusa, a cocky fury, and the racial diversity of some of the Olympians and Achaian heroes, all of which are a welcome addition and bring vibrancy back to old mates.    … Expand

    It's always interesting to see when a game takes an already established formula and twists it in a way people haven't really seen before. The Roguelike/Roguelite genre, being one in which a lot of this experimenting usually happens, has become somewhat of a canvas for daring developers to express new concepts and ideas for the gaming landscape. And from these kinds of endeavors, gems likeIt's always interesting to see when a game takes an already established formula and twists it in a way people haven't really seen before. The Roguelike/Roguelite genre, being one in which a lot of this experimenting usually happens, has become somewhat of a canvas for daring developers to express new concepts and ideas for the gaming landscape. And from these kinds of endeavors, gems like Hades come to be.
    Supergiant Games managed to create a perfect mix between the Roguelike tropes we're familiar with, and deep storytelling entirely new to the genre. Here, we play as Zagreus, son of the titular Hades, God of the dead and the Underworld of Greek myth. Your objective is to escape your father's realm and reach the world of the living - a task he will not let you achieve so easily. And it is from this simple premise that the whole story unfolds, with masterful execution.
    Right from the start, you're greeted with a colorful cast of characters originated from different Greek legends and the unique relationships of each one with our protagonist. Then, when you actually attempt an escape and fail on your first couple of tries (as is common practice in Roguelike games), you'll learn that these same characters not only acknowledge your efforts but also have their own thoughts about it if you're willing to listen. As Zagreus advances further in his attempts, your relationship with them will also advance each time you meet. With enough development, you may even become intimate with your favorite characters, and maybe new kinds of relationships will surface... But that is up to the player to discover.
    But Hades' success wouldn't be complete if the game didn't get the basics right. The actual escapades are filled with action-packed gameplay, where you fight your way through enemies and bosses alike, making your way up the Underworld. To help with that, you're presented with six different weapons to choose from, each one vastly different from the others, and Zagreus' divine family from Mount Olympus will also show up frequently to aid in his task with a plethora of boons to upgrade his skills in unique ways. With such levels of customization and an already enormous enemy variety, you'll hardly ever come to close to having two similar runs.
    Lastly, the technical standpoint leaves nothing to be desired. The game is gorgeous to look at, each character perfectly expresses their personalities and divinity in their design, the level design and enemies consistently communicate the feeling of each biome of the Underworld, and the soundtrack boosts to whole experience through the roof with pieces that convey emotions from ease to tension to outright bloodlust. Besides that, the game runs smoothly on even an average PC, and the controls feel tightly responsive - can't blame that death on missing inputs now.
    At the time of writing, Hades has already left Early Access looking like a masterpiece, but Supergiant Games doesn't seem to call it done. The game already packs hundreds of hours' worth of content and a seemingly infinite amount of recorded voice lines, but the team of developers promises to keep support alive and running for a long while before moving on to the next big hit. Given this level of dedication, what the future has in store for Hades sure is nothing short of god-like.    … Expand

    A Magnum Opus for Super Giant and a master class of game design and rogue-likes. I just want to add my voice to the chorus of recognition and praise this game deserves.

    I don't like giving anything a 10/10 because that would mean it is perfect in every way possible.
    And let's be honest, most things aren't flawless...

    Hades is.

    What is Hades?

    Hades is the story of Zagreus, a Teenager who “can’t even” with his dad and decides to run away and smash as much stuff as he can on his way out, a plan that is complicated a bit by him being the son of Hades and the house he tries to leave is the Underworld.

    Hades is a roguelike whose isometric look look and combat mechanics owe a debt to Diablo, but instead of an endless climb up the equipment ladder, it feeds you precious story morsels to keep you motivated.

    Hades is a Supergiant Games title, a pedigree that signifies incredible art direction, excellent writing and experimental storytelling.

    Hades is the roguelike I’ve played for 150 hours straight during the last month.

    Why, you ask? Let me count the reasons:

    The combat is excellent: Zagreus, the protagonist, has two attack types, a dash, a spell and one to two ults, all of them easy to pull off, but only studious application of each will see you succeed. He starts each run with one of six very different weapons, and picks up powerups along the way that can alter the gameplay significantly. The system is easy to pick up but has a lot of hidden depth, the action is spectacular at times but almost always legible, each of the four biomes Zagreus can cross have their own, completely unique collection of foes and It. Just. Never. Gets. Old. I grew weary of Diablo combat, and Dead Cells combat. I never grew tired of Hades combat.

    The plot and the writing are top notch, the best Supergiant Games has produced yet, and that’s saying something. The characters in here are now the definite interpretation of the Greek Pantheon for me (did I mention the setting of Hades is the Greek Pantheon?). All the characters consist only of a few still images and a ginormous amount of recorded lines, but they all come across as so human and deep and charming and likable… Ok, Ares comes across as the well-meaning but weird uncle who doesn’t get left alone with the kids much, and Zeus is a bit of a buffoon, but still, you just have to be charmed by even them. They are family. A very dysfunctional family, sure, and the stuff they all go through goes to some pretty dark places at times, but it all finds a heartwarming, hopeful finale.

    Well, ok, Theseus is a dick.

    But what’s really surprising, and what really feels like squaring the circle, is how tightly interwoven combat and story are. Little pieces of plot are dispensed throughout every run, and every death nets you a double dose, when Zagreus returns to the house of Dad and gets to talk to all his friends (and Hades). The action delightfully informs the plot, and the plot provides delicious context for the action. The pacing is excellent: Talky time provides the occasional breather during the high octane action, but it never overstays its welcome. It sounds like a contradiction, but they did pull it off: Hades really is a great roguelike with an excellent story.

    The production values are through the roof: The art is creative, highly detailed, vibrant, wonderful. The soundtrack grabs you and never lets go. Logan Cunningham is the god of sexy voices, but all the other voice actors bring their A game, too.

    Are there quibbles? Well,the poisonous enemies in the final realm can go die in a fire. And I’m a bit resentful that I had to activate Easy Mode to push through a certain difficulty spike. But that’s my personal failing.

    TLDR: Supergiant Games did it again. Buy this game, play this game. And say Hi to my gal Artemis for me.    … Expand

    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. 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.

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.    … Expand

    Perhaps most impressively the game has figured out a way to make dying less of a slog.

Hades is a bonafide masterpiece of a game, with replay value that extends beyond merely beating the game. Every single weapon is fun to use and offers significant difference in the gameplay from each other. And if that weren't enough, each weapon has three variations, all of which feel like they can be used to wreak havoc. The combat itself shines and never feels boring - I only stopped playing on Switch because I felt needed to start playing other games, then I bought it on sale on PC and started it all over. Enemies are fun to repeatedly mow down and are just varied enough to never feel like you're fighting too much of the same thing. If not for the clamp-tight gameplay, you could take your pick from the art style, music score, or characterization of actual figures from ancient Greek mythology as the star of the show. All are amazing to look at and listen to, and contribute heavily to this game's legendary status.

    If you enjoy exhilarating fast-paced combat, this is a must-buy. I was not an ancient Greece aficionado before I played this game, but I assume those people would also be pleased since the game covers nearly all of them, and in a manner that would make perfect sense. My feelings for most of these characters is complex, but nearly all of them boast great performances from their voice actors and smashing dialogue. Hades is the one character I mostly don't like, but that's exactly what the game wants. I'll let you pick your own favorites when you play *wink*

    I don't know what I could feasibly criticize about this game. There are things I haven't even spoken of that greatly enrich the experience. Your experience will change every run-though, and frequent death is inevitable, but the game grows and evolves as you do. It's brilliant game design, and the only reason why I haven't delved further into rogue-lite games after this is because I'm afraid Hades is just so much better than the rest.

    Absolute steal at $25, and even moreso when on sale. Buy it if you haven't yet    … Expand

    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.
