11/4/2023 0 Comments Hades game review![]() I've played every SuperGiant game (except for Pyre) so I'm aware of the general art style and gameplay. I also beat the last boss with the rail gun in case that's helpful. And just like Monster Hunter, whatever weapon you use truly doesn't matter anything you choose you have an equal chance of taking out every boss but I will say that the shield is overpowered but maybe that's just me. It hits that sweet spot of difficulty where it's really difficult but not to the point of ridiculousness (like Souls games but.this is nothing like a Souls game). I believe this game was in early access for several years and I just beat it (in 2021) so the gameplay is incredibly balanced. In terms of roguelikes I've only played Returnal and this game. And yes, there is a tangible story you can follow in this game unlike most roguelikes. The story is surpisingly predictable and straight-forward but the characters, dialogue, music and voice-acting (what SuperGiant is known for) is top-notch. The whole point of this game is to die repeatedly and while that doesn't sound like fun, this game created a formula that I feel other roguelikes have been trying to do for years. I believe most people should beat this in about 20 - 30 runs but honestly, it kind of doesn't matter. The catch is, every time you die you get stronger and have a better chance of beating the game. A roguelike is a game where you try to beat the game in one run (you can beat this game in 30-minutes but more than likely won't do it in your first try). So I assume this game will be a delight for those who love Greek myth, since it did so much to enhance my appreciation of it.įor those who don't know what this genre is, it's a roguelike. ![]() As a side note, this game spurred me to begin reading up on a ton of Greek myth, which absolutely enhanced my understanding of the game's overall narrative, and many of the various character interactions. I'd look at the clock as my usual bed time approached, and think "my last run was only 22 minutes, I can definitely squeeze in just one more run." For two full weeks, this game consumed me, and I loved every minute of it. I would bring my Switch to work to play during my lunch hours, but I suddenly found myself inadvertently taking extended lunches that I'd have to stay later at work to make up for. My earlier morning exercise made a sudden shift into extra Hades play sessions before work. I typically wake up at 5 every morning to exercise. I dropped 120 hours on it within 15 days. Hades is the ultimate game to convert those who don't typically click with rogue-likes. ![]() I never quite got that "okay, just one more run" feeling I've heard so many other people talk about until I tried Hades. I've tried Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Don't Starve, Slay the Spire, Downwell, and Dead Cells, all of which I'd say are great games, but I honestly just didn't have the patience to see any of them through to the end. I was reluctant to check out Hades, because I'm not particularly into rogue-likes.
