    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.

    Hades is, to put it plainly, a masterpiece. It has a refreshingly unique trajectory, tells a compelling story with an alluring cast, and has such a good handle on moment-to-moment play that it is never anything less than genuinely excellent. It’s a game that grows the more you play it, as opposed to being something that suffers from a slow descent into tedium. And for that reason, it is a genuine forever game.

    Hades is everything great about the roguelite genre all but perfected. Few games aim as high, and fewer still reach their goals. Hades does, exceeding even the loftiest expectations.

    Hades is an absolute must-have if you like the genre, but even if you’re not a big fan of roguelikes, Superiant Games’ latest work deserves an opportunity.

    Supergiant Games has done it again. They have managed to perfectly mix amazing storytelling and great action to create another compelling title. Even if you are not a fan of roguelikes you should definitely try Hades out - it’s a challenge, it has a great story, and it’s a hell of a ride.

    Hades takes the hated cycle of retrying the same checkpoint over and over again, flips it on its head with rewarding progression, and makes the player genuinely look forward to starting over with new abilities and upgrades.

    There’s around eight different forms of in-game currency alone, and enough upgrades and modifiers to give even Euclid a headache trying to track all the variables. However once you fall under Hades’ spell after a couple of runs the near limitless combinations of character builds becomes bewitching.

Familiarizing yourself with the symbols attached to the paths made available as you go, means you don't feel like your runs are being dictated by RNG alone, and that means you can slightly guide yourself to some amazing builds within the gameplay loop. Boons (power ups) come by way of the many Olympic deities you call family, and that personal touch will likely result in you playing favorites... which can come with it's own surprises.

    Probably Supergiant's best, and most accessible, game to-date. (Though Pyre remains my favorite.)    … Expand

    The character's attack can easily hit the enemy.

    Blessings and weapon combinations make the gameplay very rich.

    Eu odeio rogue-likes e rogue-lites, mas estou amando esse game até aqui (quase 10 horas de jogo na Steam).

If you're a certain age like me, then it truly captures the feeling of how you remember playing a fantastic 16bit game in your teens. Rather then the reality that they wern't that great when playing those games now.… Expand

    Hades is the only Rogue-like that I have ever played and kept playing. Such beautiful characters and world, only possible through theHades is the only Rogue-like that I have ever played and kept playing. Such beautiful characters and world, only possible through the masterful work of Supergiant games. The underworld theme just Meshes so well with the genre. But the real stars are the Greek and Chthonic gods, amazing artwork, perfect writing and voice acting. This game will have you hooked and keep you engaged with constant storytelling through every aspect of the game, even combat. My full review here : https://youtu.be/hiUYhIH8S1Q… Expand

    It is as good as they say. Has high replay and encourages experimentation and new tactics. It will also probably get you reading up on Greek history.
