"When Hades II first launched in early access, I had to force myself to stop playing after around 30 hours. I didn't want to burn out on what was already an excellent, jam-packed Hades sequel before it hit 1.0, when the final polish and story would be in place. I made the right choice; the 1.0 milestone is now here, and after more than a week with it on my Steam Deck and Switch 2, I'm obsessed with Hades II once again."
"Hades II is a roguelike with flashy battles, hot and chatty Greek gods, and exquisitely paced progression that makes you feel like you're getting better nearly every single run. (If you've played the first Hades, you know the drill.) Like a lot of Greek mythology, Hades II revolves around some very complex family drama: you play as Melinoë, the daughter of the Underworld god Hades and the younger sister of Hades protagonist Zagreus, and her goal is to kill Chronos, a Titan who is Hades' dad (so technically her grandpa) and has attacked and taken over the Underworld."
Hades II reached a 1.0 milestone after an early access period that tempted prolonged play. Players control Melinoë, daughter of Hades and younger sister to Zagreus, on a mission to kill Chronos after he seizes the Underworld. The game offers flashy, minute-long room-based combats, frequent rewards such as boons, and tightly tuned progression that makes each run feel like measurable improvement. The experience emphasizes characterful interactions with Greek gods and layered family drama while providing polished gameplay on devices like the Steam Deck and Switch 2.
