Hades has sold more than 1 million copies
- Thread starter gitrektali
- Start date
Just fyi there's a launch discount of 20% going till Sept 24.
Random aside:
Megaera is bae. Zagreus is bae. I love that some of the designs in this game manage to be sexy but not objectifying. More of a subtle thing. It helps that the characters' stories and VA contribute so much to their allure.
Refreshing to see devs who can include the sort of inherent horniness and debaucherous nature of the Greek pantheon without devolving into objectifying pandering. A really classy touch imo.
Sorry for slightly off-topic post, but I figured some folks who've yet to play might like knowing some of this stuff. ;)

Picked it up now that it's fully out and greatly enjoyed what I've played in-between playing Mario, despite not usually being into roguelikes.
Supergiant is such a great developer I'm glad this is doing well especially after Pyre seemed to have ho-hum sales. Seriously pick up Pyre if you haven't.

Best game of 2020 alongside Spelunky 2. Great sales but deserves so much more. It's impressive that it sold 300k since it's release which was........ this week.
I always think of the legendary Greg Kasavin whenever their new games get released... So happy for him and his team!
I usually burn out on roguelikes fast but I'm really enjoying Hades because you get to choose your upgrades and interact with other characters - not a fan of when roguelikes make you feel so isolated.

I saw these on Steam, you can get em from the Point Shop as well
Wow! I mean, I can see it. There's so little to fault the game for. It does what it sets out to do pretty much flawlessly. Interestingly, I am seeing lots of good impressions from folks who don't usually like roguelikes.btw, hades is currently the best reviewed game of the year according to opencritic
I don't like roguelikes for the most part and I'm having a blast. This and Binding of Isaac are the only two I could seriously get into.
Supergiant can do no wrong.
Double dipped on the switch version and have been rotating between it, children of mortal, and paradise killer. I have such a crazy backlog now.
What a fucking great list of games.btw, hades is currently the best reviewed game of the year according to opencritic
Well deserved. As others have said it takes a really solid rogue like to get me to like it and this one is one of them.
Nah it's not like Diablo or long. It's a run-based roguelike with strong character development that changes every run. TONS of very well voice-acted dialogue. It's very much a try, die, repeat game with some permanent upgrades and some run-specific ones. You're also rewarded with new story beats after each run, pretty much.
Not loot-based. More upgrade-based.
It's not very long. Just challenging and ever-changing. Really satisfying reward loop.
Are you me? DC was pretty much my fav until Hades as well. (Still love DC, tho.)
Actually, I have seen lots of Dead Cells fans praising this game, and it's easy to see why.

I think in general Dead Cells has way more depth than Hades, but Hades as a whole is more polished, and the way it intervenes the narrative with the rogue-lite elements is so impressive.
Bought it on switch yesterday, lots of fun. I can appreciate what they tried to do with pyre but it just got a little old a bit too fast.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this on Switch after all the great impressions and comparisons to Dead Cells (a game that I got dangerously addicted to) but I'm still waiting for a physical release.
Any good videos that summarize why it's worth playing?
I keep hearing good things about it but i've been ignoring it because I don't like rouge likes

This is the video they put out, I think it does a good job of explaining everything the game offers
I only played a bit early on in early access, but it felt great even then. Looking forward to playing through the finished version here soon.
What are the issues? I'm legit asking. Don't own the game yet but have been considering it for a bit now.
This dev team is insane. Like their "worst" game would still be an 8 or 9 out of 10. So thoroughly deserved, Hades could end up being my GOTY.
