But what surprised me was the amount of dialogue with the characters and how everyone has VA even though it is an indie game. I got True Ending, I don’t know if it’s worth it but it’s pretty good. I had the relationship with Meg and it was very meh, but the system of giving the offerings and finding out more about the characters is something very cool.

    When I dropped the game in the first 2 hours, I thought that the eternal upgrades are kind of bad and took too long to upgrade. Then I decided to **** and just get well and started to like the game more and then I started to unlock good eternal upgrades quickly.

    Currently several games have some luck system (RNG) within their gameplay, either in the criticism of their attacks or in the game loot. But Hades builds his gameplay totally surrounded by "luck", with each 'run' you get totally different skills, the only possible side that I see in this is variety of gameplay but it is possible to create this variety in several other ways. I didn't really like the 'structure' of the gameplay, but the combat itself when you have at least a decent build is very good.
    And after the 3 boss, in the Nyx temple, the gameplay was much more boring than the previous 3 dungeons, the idea of ​​the dungeon to go after Cerberus' food and choose the rewards is interesting. But the claustrophobic level design, enemies with HP as hell spamming those pools of poison everywhere, low variety of enemies and it's not just one or two of these levels, it's one after the other. At first it is highly irritating and after you learn to cope it just gets a little boring.

    The Heat system is very interesting and adds a lot of replay value.

    The variations of bosses is something very interesting, with each run the first 2 bosses change slightly.

    The soundtrack is good but little varied and only plays in a few 'rare' moments. The sung songs that play in some moementos are good, there are 4 of them if I'm not mistaken.    … Expand

    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

    + addictive gameplay
    + different weapons and random skills a long the way force you to play differently
    + you can choose your own difficulty
    + funny banter and dialog

    - visually it can be a bit cluttered
    - Enemy attacks are not easy to read, dashing behind the enemy isn't always safe

    However after 40+ hours and 29 runs into the game but only to beat Hades 5 times, I feel a bit tired after so many runs with the same enemy and environment. Even the dialogue between Zagreus and all the gods seems lost its flavor, just repeating same blablabla again and again. Wish there is a easier mode to push the story goes on without so many failure.

    Tried to use different weapons, but so far 4 out of 5 times shields are used to beat Hades. Feels like the weapons are fun to use but can be better balanced.

    Overall a very satisfying experience, will get back to it from time to time, although probably won't spend too much time on it from now.    … Expand

Orgánica, natural y extremadamente divertida.

Above every door you'll see what rewards await you in the next room, but you have no real impact on what kind of boons you will get throughout the whole run. This means you can get very lucky and receive all the best boons in one playthrough and considerably weaker boons in the next, which makes for a slightly frustrating gameplay sometimes.… Expand

    Play Time: 74 Hours

    Hades is a roguelike action roleplaying game where you play as Prince Zagreus, son of Hades, and you are tired of life in the Underworld and want to defy your father by escaping. You take runs through the layers of the Underworld fighting all types of monsters clawing your way to the surface.
    Along the way the other Olympians will be trying to aid you by bestowing upon you powers to strengthen your weapons and skills. All in attempts to help Zagreus join them on Mt. Olympus. The boons they bestow upon you are perfectly inline with their characters. Examples being; Zeus granting lightning, Aphrodite allowing chances to charm and weaken monsters, Dionysus can afflict hangover (my personal favorite perks).
    There is an interwoven story in the game you discover while playing through escape attempts and increasing your bonds with the cast of characters including Gods, servants of Hades, and Greek heroes.
    This game is a beautiful masterpiece that has been given numerous awards, not including game of the year by most publications.
    I started playing in early release 2019 and played through most development of the game and extra features they added. Eventually leading to the full release in 2020 where the true ending was added.
    It took me 72 successful escape attempts to finish the story and reach the true ending. There are still cosmetic upgrades I could chase, character relationships to increase and push for higher difficulty runs.

    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

The story is brilliant and it makes you want to start a new run as soon as you finished the last. The voice actors are simply brilliant. This might be the first rogue-like game where i love the level design from start to finish. The environment can be challenging, but only to the point where it doesn't become frustrating, they balanced it really well.

    The variety of how you can play the game is huge. We start with one weapon, and then we can unlock 5 more, and unlock overall 4 aspects for each weapon, which change how they function. There are melee weapons, ranged weapons, slow weapons, fast weapons, there is one for everyone. Then on top of that we get the buffs (boons) from the gods on Olympus, which also allow us to create multiple builds for every weapon and every aspect of them.

    Now someone might think, "oh well, i'm interested in this game but it looks to easy or too hard for me". They made sure that it's not an issue. There are multiple "difficulties" for this game. You can either play on normal or you can either active god mode or hell mode. God mode lowers the amount of damage you take as soon as you activate it, and then it increases everytime you die, up to 80%. Hell mode activates the pact of punishment (on normal and god mode it only activates once you do a full clear once) as soon as the game starts. These are there to give everyone further challenges and rewards from boss fights. And doesn't matter which difficulty you play on, our character will get permament upgrades from the mirror of night. These upgrades contain damage upgrade, cheat death mechanic, gives you more chance to recieve better buffs from the gods, you can reroll room rewards or even god buffs, gives you more mobility, etc.

    I would recommend this game for everyone, even if you never played a rogulike before.    … Expand

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

    Hades is a masterclass on video game storytelling, and the best of its kind since Undertale reminded people that a video game can be funny, touching, endearing, and deep at the same time in 2015. What Hades does with beautiful art, a simple (but solid) core gameplay loop, and engaging characters in a great story is infinitely more than what most AAA games do with hundreds of developers,Hades is a masterclass on video game storytelling, and the best of its kind since Undertale reminded people that a video game can be funny, touching, endearing, and deep at the same time in 2015. What Hades does with beautiful art, a simple (but solid) core gameplay loop, and engaging characters in a great story is infinitely more than what most AAA games do with hundreds of developers, massive budgets, celebrity voice actors, and all of the top end graphics in the world.

    Supergiant takes a genre of games that has been overdone to death, and with a clever story, makes the perfect blend of storytelling and gameplay. Where something like The Last of Us Part II completely segregates their story and gameplay at the end of their game, Hades embraces the nature of its story and embraces the resetting nature of the roguelite genre. The story cannot work without the gameplay, and the gameplay is nothing special without the story to drive it. It legitimately comes together in a way that pushes the entire medium forward and raises the bar for everyone else.

    The gameplay is fast, fluid, and everything has the right amount of punch to be satisfying. I would give this game a 9.5 if I could, but since I'm unable to, I rounded up to the perfect score I don't think any game should get. The gameplay is where the only issue comes in. Enemies toward the end of the game become too spongy and the action can be hard to follow with all the particle effects. That can create some frustration, especially with some Pacts of Punishment later in the game. Those add to the particle effect mess, and while it really is beautiful to look at, it just becomes a tad too much to follow.

    But each run is different and you can select items that can help shape your experience. You can favor Zeus for some area of effect damage, you can favor Athena to give yourself more survivability, or maybe you want to get some Poseidon effects in to shove enemies around. If you don't want any of those, you can use items that increase your health or starting currency for upgrades later in the run. With six different weapons, each with four different styles of play, there's a lot of fun to be had with the experimentation in each go.

    There really doesn't feel like there's anything like it out right now. It's a $25 game that you can easily get fifty hours out of if you want to reach the epilogue. If you beat the game, you'll probably want to go that far to see the full completion of the awesome story. It's so much more engaging and the development behind it was way more ethical than any AAA title. It's more complete than a AAA title, too. I haven't encountered any noticeable bugs, which is a fantastic change of pace given the state of other games like Cyberpunk 2077 or just about any Ubisoft title.

    Hades absolutely hits the nail on the head with every development philosophy Supergiant had in mind when creating it. It's without a doubt the best game of 2020, and that's admittedly a low bar, but it's such a bright spot to start the next decade of gaming with. There is really nothing else like it and it's another piece of quality work from a quality developer.    … Expand

    too long and boring to go to beat final boss again. characters are so salty and toxic that makes player get stressed. effects are too showy to discern enemy's attacks, also enemies have unclear movesets too. and hard to get tempo when attacks enemy so that makes keep pressing button at random which is not a good feeling in action game. it was not worth to keep playing it.

    Hades tem um visual bem único na indústria dos games e é relativamente bonito, a trilha sonora combina bastante com o game apesar de não ser o meu estilo, a gameplay também não das minhas favoritas. O jogo não é ruim, mas eu estava esperando algo muito maior.

    This is a masterpiece. I really like rogue-like games, but that game is the best of all. Storylines with every character, lots of combat content, secrets and achievements, various builds and tactics to play and also motivation to play more, again and again. I think this one needs GOTY this year.

Fator Replay pra um game Rogue-Like está acima da média por contar com inúmeros diálogos que te prendem aos eventos daquele universo, o incrível é que mesmo jogo sendo de tal gênero ele consegue te prender além da jogabilidade com a história que mesmo simples é cativante e combando com o gameplay se torna extremamente imersiva.
    As diversas armas que o jogo oferece também ajudam nisso tanto na história que brevemente cada personagem irá citar algo sobre ela, quanto em sua diversificação de jogabilidade.
    - O que mais me impressiona nesse game é seu enredo, pra um game desse genero assim como Dead Cells é sempre algo deixado de lado, com algum plano de fundo mas nada mt alongado.

    - Contras
    - Não encontrei nada que tenha me incomodado durante o game.
    - Meus problemas com Rogue-Like sempre foi a questão do jogo não me prender e se tornar enjoativo ou não me dar motivos para continuar a jornada mas por conta dos personagens e enredo eu acabei não tendo esse problema com Hades.    … Expand

    Es el Roguelike que he jugado que más me ha gustado con mucha diferencia, tiene un gameplay frenético un montón de formas de jugarlo y lo que más me gusta es que la progresión al principio se nota mucho y es constante. Un contra es que se hace repetitivo como todos.

Also there's only 2 weapons even worth using and that's the spear and shield. The rest are complete trash. I made this account just so I could review this **** game.… Expand

    TBH I didnt like this game at first.

Then I read reviews majority of which was very good, decided to give it a try once more and ... and couldnt stop playing Hades until late night :D
    Seriously, I tried quite a few Isaac-type games and usually after 1-2h deinstalled it, but this - this is probably one of the best, if not the best game of this genre. The game might seem difficult at first, but rather quickly become easier with upgrades you get, and this is very good! Make no mistake though, this game is still challenging even with all upgrades, but not that crazy challenging like Isaac or SMB. Usually in such games you get no aid in your later playthroughts but your experience. Thus leads to 100+ beginnings of the same 1st level which is doesnt feel great when you have job and family. Hades is not very long if you want just to finish this game - I made it from 18th try. But this is not an end - if you want to reveal whole story, try all weapon upgrades there are even more challenges to overcome.
    Very good music, nice graphics, awesome combat system and abilities, challenging bosses. Maybe not a masterpiece, but still very very good game! 10 of 10.    … Expand

    At first I didn't want to buy this game as it seemed very cartoonish, but I was very wrong.
    After I actually saw this game on my screen instead of twitch I was amazed how great and smooth everything looks.

    And the gameplay is fantastic. I really like the roguelite instead of roguelike. Keeping a bit of progress is great!

    Would have been a 10/10 if there were more Ashley Barrett songs (come on, only one singed, you guys made really amazing songs on Transistor, Bastion and Pyre... And this game took years to be developed). When I was playing Transistor, all could listen was their 5 singed songs over and over again.

    / Voices and lines on Zagreus sometimes don't fit imo
    / Not sure on the bounty system
    / Some enemies are a bit too spongy

    Game was fun until it suddenly ran out of content. I did not expect Elysium to be the last "real" area, with the Temple of Styx feeling like a tacked-on afterthought, and the final boss to be vastly easier than in Elysium.

    As with previous titles from Supergiant Games, Hades features stellar artwork and music, masterfully creating a world of Greek mythology. The fast-paced action feels great, and the roguelike elements create a synergy with the game’s story, resulting in a truly addictive experience.

    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.
