ShreddieMercury Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Is the combat in this game more fun than in Bastion and Transistor? I didn't enjoy those games too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazatron Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Switch version runs at 60fps, so I'm rebuying it on that. Portable Hades, yes please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I dislike rogue-likes. I'm 3 hours in and I love it. Somehow they made the recurring death mechanic in rogue-likes as part of the story. It's really well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Game Information Game Title: Hades Platforms: PC (Sep 17, 2020) Nintendo Switch (Sep 17, 2020) Trailer: Publisher: Supergiant Games Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 92 average - 100% recommended Critic Reviews Kakuchopurei - 100 / 100 Quote Hades is jam-packed with action, has a cool take on Greek mythology, and features a ton of replayability. I urge you not to sleep on this escapade; it's a helluva good time. TheSixthAxis - 10 / 10 Quote Hades is one of the best roguelites of all-time. It's a phenomenal achievement in story telling, gameplay, and an absolute treat for both your eyes and ears. It's astounding, and it's always been fairly astounding through Early Access, but this final release cements it as one of the greats. If you like roguelites, and even if you don't, you should probably get in on this as soon as you can. God is a Geek - 9.5 / 10 Quote Hades is a fantastic experience regardless of platform. An addictive, accessible, and charming roguelike adventure. TechRaptor - 9.5 / 10 Quote Hades perfectly blends high-octane action with roguelike randomization to deliver an exhilirating experience that never lets up. Attack of the Fanboy - 4.5 / 5 stars Quote Only time will tell if Hades joins the pantheon of roguelike greats alongside The Binding of Isaac and Dead Cells, but it makes an incredibly strong impression. Hades succeeds as both a narrative-driven adventure and an addicting roguelike, and that's a pretty tough combination to pull off. Destructoid - 9 / 10 Quote Hades had the unenviable task of bridging a well-established action-roguelike format with impactful character-driven storytelling, and neither element feels like an afterthought. They lift each other to new heights. The finer details – all those little artistic touches that add up over time – really seal the deal. IGN - 9 / 10 Quote Hades is a one-of-a-kind rogue-lite that does a brilliant job of marrying its fast-paced action with its persistent, progressing story through a vividly reimagined Greek mythological underworld. Noisy Pixel - 9 / 10 Quote Hades takes away all the annoying parts of the roguelike genre and adds accessible systems without lowering the difficulty that these types of games offer. It is a standout experience within the genre and will test your skills in a balanced and manageable way that makes each run challenging, yet, approachable. There is so much to unlock here and so much to discover that dying for the hundredth time isn’t that bad. PCGamesN - 9 / 10 Quote Few other roguelikes build around the genre's cyclical nature, both mechanically and narratively, as successfully as Hades. Combined with a punchy and fresh presentation of Greek myth, this is a genre standout whose appeal goes well beyond its hardcore fans. Game Informer - 8.5 / 10 Quote Supergiant has crafted another beautiful game, this time a story-laden roguelite that demands dozens of hours to fully experience. Eurogamer - Essential Quote Greek gods bring family charm to this glittering headlong pelt through the underworld Rock, Paper, Shotgun - RPS Bestest Bests Quote Supergiant’s action roguelike was already a game of the year contender when it first came out in early access two years ago. It definitely is one now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I always thought I’d hate the idea of Rogue Lites but holy shit is this game fun and addicting. I almost look forward to dying lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost look forward to dying lol Same. And as always cause of Supergiant, the game is gorgeous and the music is so good. Also, I pet Cerberus at least once upon each death. I also find Hades hilarious as the most disgruntled beaurocrat with the hardest job in the world - managing the dead and lost souls of mankind, all of them. I mean, it's no surprise Zagreus wants to leave if that's what he's being groomed for (I imagine, Hades, for his part, would like to retire to Olympus himself, rather than do the job forever, so he's pretty invested in needing Zagreus to stay and take over). I especially chuckle every time I improve my bedroom specifically with the renovation guys: "Who requested that!?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazatron Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 First successful run on run #20. This is probably my game of the year. The speed of the action is awesome, handles great even with dashing all over the screen, and I've barely touched the surface of the boons system with all the combinations (duos, legendaries, etc.). Looks like there's a lot of endgame content as well. The story and lore is also very well done and I love the way it is revealed a bit through each run. Gah, can't stop playing...

thedarkstark Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 This is one of those games that actually seems like it'd control better with KB+M than controller. Anyone have experience with both and can confirm or deny? I'm 100% picking it up but not sure if I'll got PC or Switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anzo Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Played this for about 5 hours total throughout early access but really dived into it once 1.0 hit. This game is fantastic! I've cleared it twice thus far (2 different weapons) but can get to the final boss most runs. I love love love how they incorporated the death mechanic into the story. Another amazing effort by Supergiant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 This game is as close to perfect as a game can get. The art is fantastic, the story and writing is entertaining and engaging, it controls flawlessly and the progression system is amazing. Every run I feel like I find something new and cool. The Duo's are so satisfying when you find them. Putting together a good run and getting a great combo of skills is soooo much damn fun. This is def up there for my game of the year.

Chris- Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I haven’t played this yet but from what it sounds like, you rogue-lite converts might also enjoy Into the Breach or Void Bastards, which also handle character death in a satisfactory way.

Bloodporne Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I might end up getting this despite the 'rogue' shit I usually avoid like the plague. It does look really fun and reviews are killer. Ion Fury is kind of boring, need something more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 clears so far, with the one I completed yesterday feeling really easy with the Fist. I am loving the game, but have only played in short bursts. It also took me about 40 minutes each time I did clear it, I always run around each room a 2nd or 3rd time to make sure I don't miss antyhing.

number305 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So here is a new game getting 9's and 10's and being discussed as a game of the year. And somehow it isn't $70. It is $25. Or you can get it in a bundle with everything Supergiant has made for $47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've made it to at least the 3rd Boss on just about every run after my 3rd. I think I have 16 total runs right now. I have been jumping around to different weapons a lot based o whichever has the bonus. I initially thought I preferred the Ranged weapons, but definitely prefer Melee now as my 2 clears had a Melee weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I likely think it wouldn't be $60 if that wasn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Y'all are much better than I, because I only just got past the first boss on my 12th run or so (and even then it was only because I had a massively juiced special that I kept spamming over and over). Overall I'm loving the game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
