    Too short though, a few rooms, that don't vary much from each other and the game it's over. Difficulty curve is too high, it expects you to spend hours repeating and repeating the same things without much variety.    … Expand

    Hades stands out as a prominent example within the roguelike genre. By examining both its positive and negative aspects, we can understand why the game has gained such popularity.

    Positive Aspects:

    Engaging Gameplay:
    Hades delivers fluid and dynamic gameplay. Fast-paced combat requiring quick reactions, a variety of abilities, and weapon choices keep the game consistently exciting and enjoyable. Each attempt necessitates developing a new strategy.

    Storytelling and Character Development:

    Visual Aesthetics and Atmosphere:
    The game offers a visually captivating experience through its elegant art style and atmospheric world design. Each environment and character make you feel like a part of the game world. The atmosphere draws players into the story.

    Negative Aspects:

    Repetitive Content:
    Due to the nature of the roguelike genre, the game's content can become repetitive. Iterations might lead to monotony for some players. Even with different gameplay styles, sometimes traversing the same areas can feel repetitive.

    Difficulty Level:
    Hades presents a challenging difficulty level. Some players might find this difficulty occasionally frustrating. Enemy combinations and the intensity of certain levels can be demanding.

    Hades, as a notable representative of the roguelike genre, captivates players with its dynamic gameplay, intricate storyline, and aesthetic atmosphere. Repetitive content and the difficulty level might pose challenges for some players.

    Hades' art style is striking, the gameplay is addicting, and the dialogue you receive after every death makes it less frustrating, but the advancement of certain plots is heavily based on luck and the ending is drawn out and anticlimactic.

    Ya he conseguido escapar del Inframundo (una vez, pero bueno lo he hecho) y en el nombre de Hades recomiendo este juego muchísimo. Ha sido un viaje con una mezcla de sensaciones muy grande, pero vamos a ir desgranando el juego. Hades es un juegarraco. Es buenísimo. Todo lo que hace, lo hace bien.

    Lo que más voy a alabar del juego es su gameplay. Es híper frenético, todo el rato ocurren cosas que son importantes para la partida. El combate aunque al principio pueda parecer un "romperte el pulgar a base de pulsar botones", es bastante complejo y al tener 6 armas, permite que cada jugador se adapte a un estilo de juego cuerpo a cuerpo (como los puños) o un estilo más a distancia (como el cañón).

    Tengo que admitir, que cuando dicen lo típico de "cada partida es distinta" no me convencían, pero después de jugarlo, me han convencido definitivamente. TODO es distinto. Las bendiciones de los distintos dioses, los recursos que consigues, los enemigos, los minijefes, los diálogos, los NPCs que te encuentras hasta algunos jefes cambian partida tras partida. Es increíble.

    Pasamos por lo audiovisual y más a lo visual que a lo audio. La música está bastante bien y ambienta muy bien las distintas situaciones y lugares. Además, el doblaje (aunque lo tenga en inglés) es tremendo. Pero lo visual... Pocos juegos he visto tan bonitos como Hades. Los personajes son espectaculares al verlos en los diálogos y hasta sin verlos en estos (como pasa con los enemigos, que se ven muy bien). Los entornos se caracterizan muchísimo y logran transmitir sensaciones muy adecuadas para los lugares.

    La historia y sus diálogos... Daría para una review entera. Me ha encantado. Como persona que le encanta la mitología griega, es un placer jugar a este juego. Ves la relación que existe entre todos los dioses a través de los diálogos con tanto humor en la mayoría de personajes. Ves como está la relación entre Zagreo y Hades a través de sueños y diálogos. Ves un montón de historias separadas que forman un lore súper extenso y que hace que hablar con cada personaje sea algo mágico.

    Con Hades, iba buscando cobre y encontré no oro, sino platino. Recomendadísimo aunque no te gusten o no estés familiarizado con los Rogue-Likes.    … Expand

    Hades es uno de los mejores juegos indie que han salido hasta la fecha. Este roguelite ha llegado a ser uno de los mejores exponentes de su género gracias a su exquisita jugabilidad, sistema de progresión y curva de dificultad.

Este roguelite ha llegado a ser uno de los mejores exponentes de su género gracias a su exquisita jugabilidad, sistema de progresión y curva de dificultad. La manera en la que cambia cada partida según el arma que elijas, las bendiciones que utilices y las decisiones permiten que el juego se haga muy entretenido de jugar, ya que cada partida que realices va a ser totalmente distinta a la anterior. Aquí entra el único punto débil del juego: la repetición de los enemigos para llegar hasta el final del juego. Tras finalizar la primera run, hasta llegar al final del juego hay que volver a pasárselo un número significativo de veces y, a pesar de que tras este final se añaden algunos enemigos e interacciones nuevas (incluso algunas mecánicas nuevas que dificultan el juego a cambio de una mayor recompensa), se hacen bastante escasos para la cantidad de veces que se te pide finalizar la run para llegar a los créditos. Esto provoca que las últimas runs que se realicen se hagan un tanto repetitivas ya que, además de este factor, las bendiciones ya no son sorprendentes y la repetición se hace notar demasiado. Añadiendo a este problema las interfaces poco intuitivas y mejorables, este juego es perfecto en todo lo demás. La historia me parece muy buena, intrigante y que consigue a través de su sencilla premisa que sea fácil de seguir y que te enganche. Cabe destacar que los arcos argumentales entre los personajes, que a su vez todos ellos son excelentes, son cada cual mejor y los hilos que se generan entre ellos generan que la historia sea muy completa y coherente. A esto se le añade el sistema de regalos, lo que permite profundizar sobre todos ellos. La mitología griega está perfectamente implementada en el juego, mediante diálogos, interacciones, intervenciones del narrador y descripciones de personajes y enemigos; siendo este uno de los pilares fundamentales del mismo. A nivel artístico es increíble, con personajes y escenarios memorablemente bellos; y la banda sonora también es excelente. He tardado unas 30 horas en pasármelo pero la duración puede variar mucho según la destreza del jugador. Un juegazo recomendable para todo el mundo. 9,2/10

    The characters are the highlight of the game for sure, every character is very likeable, they all have their own personalities, and they really enhance the story of the game, which is very simple and all around just good.

    The gameplay is fantastic, all the power ups and the Boons make it less repetitive, which is a big issue with Rogue-Like/Rogue-Lite games, and I love how Hades tries to stay away from repetitiveness as much as possible, by adding unique dialogue to almost every encounter, it's crazy how much effort was put into this game.

    This is quite literally a flawless videogame, the only complain I have is that it's just not really my type of game, but the fact that I enjoyed it that much should tell you how stellar this game truly is.

Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить.

    This is absolutely the best Roguelike game I have played. You may feel it looks old school and overwhelming for the first few plays, especially since you may not be able even to beat the first boss. However, after you get used to the mechanism and monsters, you will start looking into different skills and combinations. You can build them by yourself or look at some strategies online.This is absolutely the best Roguelike game I have played.

    Immediately striking is the insanely beautiful design of both locations and characters. Gameplay that will give you a couple of hours of real fun and action. The only disadvantage of the game for me is the long main game. I know it's "roguelike", but after the first escape, it's not very interesting to continue, even though additional tests and stuff are added.

The combination of story with gameplay really motivated me to keep pushing for more runs, and the build variety made sure it never got stale.

    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.
