    Supergiant's Magnum opus, and one of the finest roguelites/roguelites ever made. Accessible, varied, and very fun

    Funny, entertaining, addictive. Simple yet wide concept. Lots of funny dialogs, wonderful graphics and greatly polished mechanics that perfectly fit the overall concept of the game. A must-play for any isometric hack'n'slash enjoyers.

    Cool rouge-like game! Fine optimization, but some fonts too small on Nintendo switch.

    The gameplay loop while frustrating is satisfying when you finally finish a tough boss.

    Great artstyle, compelling story, fun gameplay, and well written characters. Only downside is that the game ends up getting repetitive after beating it a few times. Not the most replayable game, but one that is definitely worth buying.

    Hades is probably the best roguelike I've played. If you like Greek mythology, this game is a full meal. The gameplay is easy to learn, the commands are very responsive and the more you play, the more you feel the progress. The only reason I'm not giving a 10 is because it lacks more maps when compared with Dead Cells, it could easily have transitions maps.

    Ce que je rechercher dans un jeu : la rejouabilité/l'innovation/le renouvellement. à l'intérieur d'un carcan posé, Supergiant arrive à créer la surprise. Que ce soit dans ses dialogues, son gameplay, narration etc etc
    Je découvre ce studio indé qui met une belle claque en terme de cohérence à pas mal d'autres opus..

    This game really surprised me by how much fun it was. Once you get used to gameplay loop and power up over time, the game opens up more, gets a little less difficult and you begin to respond more intuitively, and I actually enjoyed playing through several times to win with different "builds" as it were (weapon choice plus which upgrades to take if offered in each room).

    Hades is the first roguelike game I have played and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction into this genre. The combat in Hades is enthralling and the roguelike part of the game adds so much to the story and gameplay. A must-buy game.

    The game does however struggle on the Switch. In intense fights, with lot's of graphical effects, the machine is not able to keep up. This is quite annoying, as it's really when the game is most intense you need it the most to run smoothly.

    Bastion was my first experience playing a game made by Supergiant, and it was amazing. The games that comes after that falls flat, but with Hades, Supergiant have outdone themselves. Many reviewers praised the replayability of this game. That being said, even if you only managed to complete the game just once, you won't regret playing it.

    fun game with many hours of game play. I like how story develops and how the story keeps you playing the game over and over again. The game is short and once it is completed you will need to start it from the beginning to uncover full story of Zagreus. Combat is challenging and you will die a lot ! Weapons , special powers are all cool. Enemies and bosses are tough but there is always "godfun game with many hours of game play.

    Supergiant Games опять порадовали. Отличный рогалик в интересном сеттинге, понравились боевка и прокачка, музыка так же неплохая, диалоги достаточно забавные.
    Из минусов - малое разнообразие врагов и локаций, тру концовку получил после 10 успешного забега и к этому времени игра мне все таки поднадоела.    Supergiant Games опять порадовали.

    Jogo muito viciante, porém tem alguns aspectos que não gostei:
    - a cada avanço o jogo aumenta a dificuldade, porém a evolução da personagem é lenta muito lenta, dando a sensação que sempre está muito fraco
    - O RNG pode ser muito cruel, dando as piores bênçãos de cada deus ou recompensas medíocres, e desistir não modifica, para renovar é obrigado a morrer

    作为一款Roguelike游戏，本作无疑是相当优秀的。本作的随机元素，武器和装备种类都相当丰富，给每一局游戏都带来了千变万化的体验。加上本作出色的美术风格和手感，让每一次闯关之旅都相当有快感。随着主角的成长和剧情的推进，敌人的种类和行动模式都会产生变化让每一次轮回都有些许别开生面。与大部分Roguelike不同，本作还着重的着墨了些剧情，让闯关之余也多了一些其他的期盼。但随着通关次数的增加，本作也如大部分Roguelike一样头几关会让人厌倦，从而导致后期游戏驱动力不足而无法完成真结局。作为一款Roguelike游戏，本作无疑是相当优秀的。本作的随机元素，武器和装备种类都相当丰富，给每一局游戏都带来了千变万化的体验。加上本作出色的美术风格和手感，让每一次闯关之旅都相当有快感。随着主角的成长和剧情的推进，敌人的种类和行动模式都会产生变化让每一次轮回都有些许别开生面。与大部分Roguelike不同，本作还着重的着墨了些剧情，让闯关之余也多了一些其他的期盼。但随着通关次数的增加，本作也如大部分Roguelike一样头几关会让人厌倦，从而导致后期游戏驱动力不足而无法完成真结局。

    the good: - innovative and refreshing take on roguelikes. makes replaying the same few rooms super fun - really fun combat system - loved the boons and the weapons, and i love that the game incentivizes you to try out all the weapons. each of the weapons also have very different play styles that are very fun to try - the game    i bought this on sale and binged it for a couple of weeks

    - mostly my personal preferences, but i didn't like the storytelling/characterization near the end of the game. the ending was really unsatisfactory to me

    Hades is an excellent game and a great entry point for newcomers to the rogue-lite genre. Indie games rarely have a narrative so full and compelling… let alone rogue like games, where narrative is often little more than a vague idea of who the player character is and what they’re trying to accomplish.

Indie games rarely have a narrative so full and compelling… let alone rogue like games, where narrative is often little more than a vague idea of who the player character is and what they’re trying to accomplish. Hades is different it has depth, a diverse cast of unique relatable characters, and a seemingly endless story drip fed to you just frequently enough to keep you invested. The voice acting is excellent and the sheer volume of recorded dialogue is mind blowing… I suspect it puts a lot of AAA games to shame, honestly. So narratively it’s a major success - how about the gameplay? It’s… good. Pretty run of the mill rogue-lite. Pick between a small selection of weapons, hop in the action, collect randomly awarded upgrades and resources, and fight as far into the brutally oppressive dungeons until you inevitably die and get sent back to the start. Rinse and repeat. It’s fun and challenging. The enemy variety is excellent, growing and evolving over time to keep things interesting and keep you on your toes. The various buffs you collect are typically varied enough to make each run feel a bit different and challenge you in new ways. For someone who despises roguelike games, it’s likely not gonna change that… but for someone new to the genre I think there’s a good chance this can win them over and show them what makes these games fun and special. My biggest complaint with Hades is map variety. You fight through a handful of rooms in 4 main biomes. They’re all well designed, each very different and visually distinct from the others, the artwork is fantastic… but I think this is where the game feels most repetitive. Just a couple more with a branching path or two would have taken the game to the next level in making each run feel a bit less repetitive. Something like Dead Cells, where the start and end points are the same between runs but the paths available for you to take change over time. Maybe someday hades will get a DLC that adds something like this - if not, it doesn’t change the fact that hades is great and absolutely worth my time. Highly suggest giving this one a go. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and still haven’t experienced everything the game has to offer after dozens of hours. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the team behind this game, and look forward to playing other games that draw inspiration from Hades.… Expand

    Hades is a complete package. The writing will make you laugh, the gameplay will make you smile, the bosses will frustrate you, and the art will make you stare in awe. All of which combined makes Hades a must-play, and once you start, you won’t want to stop.

    Despite how long I’ve been ranting here, there’s plenty more I could say about Hades. But honestly, I feel it’s best you discover for yourself why I’m so enamored of Supergiant’s latest adventure. Though the game isn’t quite perfect, it truly earned the accolades it’s been receiving. And honestly, if they decide to implement some additional content later on, most of my complaints would be rendered moot. This is honestly my favorite game yet by Supergiant Games, and easily one of my favorite indies of 2020. If you love rogue and need something new to enjoy, be sure to put this one on your wishlist.
