    Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant's critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.

    BATTLE OUT OF HELL
    As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.

    UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
    The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.

    BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
    A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience thousands of unique story events as you learn about what's really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.

    BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
    New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.

    NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
    Permanent upgrades mean you don't have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.

    SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
    The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that's been core to Supergiant's games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.    … Expand

    Hades, in my opinion, is probably the best roguelike game I have ever played and I can not find a single negative thing to say about this title except that I wish there was even more levels or perhaps the addition of a co-op mode with some of the characters that Zag bonds with. But that doesn’t take away from how spectacular this title is and how much I highly recommend that you try out Hades. My only regret is I didn’t get to play Hades much sooner.

    Hades is a rare breed of game. Supergiant’s design confidence is almost reflected in the cavalier attitude of the game’s protagonist, Zagreus; capable and arrogant, young and vibrant. But evermore charming as a result. I’ve used the phrase before, but this is absolutely a franchise-in-waiting, and more, if the studio and Private Division were so inclined. But know this, at the very least: those accolades? The ones that kept coming? We’re adding to them -- a year on, and now with a new audience and new homes, Hades is still near-perfect and an absolute must-play. Don’t miss the bus again.

I beat the game well over 10 times just to unlock the final ending and to use different weapons as well. The gun weapon was the best especially when you get the upgrade for making the explosion area bigger and more damage. The music and graphics were also very good. It is let down a bit due to the bosses being a bit repetitive after a while especially the dragon head boss and the area boss. The upgrade system is also very smart especially with the mix of powerups annd buffs.… Expand

En vue isométrique vue d’en haut mais qu’on ne peut pas bouger ni tourner (et puis quoi encore, t’y es fou, toi !).

    C’est d’un goût assez mauvais ou en tout cas, ça manque singulièrement de bon goût et c’est censé représenter un certain Hadès qui veut s’échapper des enfers… Les animations sont très hâchées (sans doute normal pour un hache et slache mais tout de même) et ça se joue évidemment comme une grosse merde de base de haque el tache très basique.

    C’est dire si on s’emmerde bien vite là-dedans et en plus de ça, c’est du ‘rogue’ de mes deux, c’est-à-dire du crève et recommence comme un con à refaire toujours la même chose (comme un con) à savoir taper des monstres comme un pauv’ con. Et donc le mieux, c’est de désinstaller cet étron indé du disque dur et de tirer la chasse par dessus, point merde.    … Expand
