"Hades 2 has its long-awaited 1.0 release later this month, but if you haven't played the first game yet, you should really start warming up with that first. Supergiant Games' 2020 GOTY contender is currently on sale to celebrate its five-year anniversary. You can grab Hades 1 for less than most meals on the McDonald's menu. Your heart will be better off, too."
"The action-RPG roguelike is about the son of Hades trying to escape the underworld and reach Mount Olympus. Players have to choose between competing upgrades and survive isometric bullet-hell battles to do so. A range of weapons and buildcrafting options, combined with incredible art and rich worldbuilding, make it an all-around exceptional game. Part classic arcade beat 'em up, part engrossing visual novel, Hades has something for everyone. Maybe that's why it inspired Supergiant to make its first sequel."
"Now I know what you're thinking. Why buy Hades 1 when Hades 2 is just around the corner? The sequel launches September 25 after years in Early Access and is, on the surface at least, simply more Hades. But it tells a completely different story, stars a hero that's more ranged-centric than the first game's Zagreus, and is definitely harder overall."
Hades 1 is on sale for its five-year anniversary at 75% off on Steam and the Switch eShop until September 30, dropping the price from $25 to $6.24. The action-RPG roguelike follows the son of Hades attempting to escape the underworld and reach Mount Olympus through isometric bullet-hell battles. Players choose between competing upgrades, experiment with a range of weapons and buildcrafting options, and experience strong art and rich worldbuilding. Hades 2 launches September 25 with a different story, a more ranged-centric protagonist, and higher overall difficulty. New players benefit from warming up in the first game to learn flow and decision-making.
