Hades - Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch

Let me just say that this game is absolutely amazing. I've already purchased this digitally back in September on both my Switch and on Steam so this is more of a display piece rather than something something I intend on playing. I have no prior experience with rougelites/rougelikes but this game has hooked me in. It isn't easy and that's not the fault of the game - but of the genre itself. Do not be dissuaded by the difficulty, the game will become easier as you continue your runs. I adore the included art compendium and the OST download. This is a purchase I do not regret.

This game is awesome! Can be a little intimidating to newcomers at first, but the developers added a god mode for those having trouble with the game, and it doesn't punish you at all cus they know some people want to experience the story. Every run is a different layout, different group of enemies in each room, different powerups or rewards or boons (special abilities bestowed upon you by the gods of Olympus), and different character encounter opportunities. Took me 12 runs before I discovered Eurydice was someone I could speak to, so plenty of surprises. Upon death you lose everything you collected and go back to the beginning, except for Darkness, which can be used to power up your stats permanently. Different weapons to unlock as well. Every character is well voiced and very fleshed out and interactions with them feel very satisfying. Definitely give this game a try, is worth every penny.

Great roguelike game that you need to keep at it to steadily gain strength. Dying in progressing in this game which fits thematically. So it's HARD at first before becoming manageable.

Good game to have as a physical copy. Great reduced price. I recommend it. Mine is still factory sealed.

By far one of my favorite games of all time. I am not particularly into roguelikes or bullet hell type games, this game is a mix of both but in a way that works beautifully. The gameplay is fantastic and gives you plenty of options in build diversity, the soundtrack is immersive and mesmerizing, when getting ready for another run, sometimes I am caught off guard by Orpheus and find myself sometimes just sitting next to him and hearing him sing. The story however is where this game takes the cake, it is so immersive, so many interactions between characters and relationship specific dialogues, and every time you die there's always something new waiting for you in the starting area. I've failed probably 70 runs by now (the final boss always gets me) and completed over 10. This game is fairly difficult but don't let these numbers fool you, as I mentioned before I am not really all that great at roguelikes and bullet hell games. Most people probably will not run into this kind of difficulty getting the game cleared.

I am a huge fan of Supergiant Games. Each previous title, in my view, has been a home run. Hades continues that streak, as it is a really fun roguelite game. The story is fun, the graphics are beautiful, the music is great and the gameplay is tight. Give this game a try - you will enjoy it. Also. look into Transistor as it became an unexpected favorite of mine,

This game is overall just great. I've never played a Roguelike or Roguelite before this one but now I'm looking into others more since this one is so fun. The artwork and graphics are amazing, the voice acting is great and the story is great, music is awesome too. Even though you die a lot, and for me especially I mean A LOT, it still progresses the story and you still feel like you're making progress as you can upgrade things back home before making another run and those stick. The boons and stuff you get during your runs don't stick and will vary each time. Overall it's just a blast to play. Try it, you might like it.

Hades for the switch has been one of my favorite rogue-like games to date, everything about it is fantastic, the music, art style, combat, voice acting. Can be difficult at first but the more you play and unlock upgrades and new things the more fun and engaging this game becomes. Also the surprise physical release was nice and I had to get this one and I would recommend it to anyone who has the patience and the persistence to keep going and keep trying.
