[PS4, PS5] Hades $15.98 @ PlayStation

150

Defy the god of the dead as you hack and slash out of the Underworld in this rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion, Transistor, and 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.

    I know it's said every time the game goes on sale, but this is an absolutely amazing game. Hades 2 is coming out this year some time and it's one of the only games I'm willing to preorder (and take some time off from work when it's out). I absolutely cannot recommend this game enough

    • Hey yeah early access on Steam. Shame consoles can't get it early while still developing but yeah consoles get a refined version, we hope.

      • My gaming rig has started to die and I can't guarantee it can play the early access unfortunately and have to wait until console release. I'm also going into Hades 2 blind, which sucks to wait, but I'm also super excited!

      Can you give someone that's been gaming for 30 plus years and stays away from rogue-like games for a reason I don't actually know what you love about this game? :). Is it all about repeating stages and leveling up each time so the stages are stronger? I've never been able to wrap my head around these kind of games.

        Yes, you die and repeat stages and get more powerful, but there's so much more to it than that. The story is amazing, the voice acting, the music, the animations. There's tons of things to unlock so runs never feel boring, as well as extra challenges to master if you ever want to make things harder. The whole idea of repeating runs is tied to the story, and voice lines trigger depending on how far you got/what you saw on your latest journey. There's a whole slew of side activities to do and characters to talk to and unlock. It's just such an amazing game that multiple people who I've recommended it to who weren't huge fans of roguelikes ended up liking it.

        Of course, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you have a chance to try it, I definitely recommend it. Even though it's a roguelike, I feel like it doesn't feel like a roguelike in the traditional sense. To me, it's just a very complete game with a story and amazing art and good challenges and stuff to keep you going that happens to have roguelike elements incorporated into all of that.

    Sad that I can't port my Steam save over to the PS5.
