Unique and refreshing Rogue-Like experience
Set against the background of Greek mythology, “Hades” tells the story of Hades’ son “Zagreus” who decided to escape from the underworld and head to Mount Olympus in order to get rid of his father’s high-pressure rule. In this journey, although he will receive the help of many Greek gods, Hades will also send out thousands of horses from the underworld to prevent Zagreus from leaving. After each death, he will return to his home in the underworld again, but the player can still accumulate various attributes, or unlock new weapons or skills, hoping that the next challenge will be more convenient.
This game was initially tested on the Epic Games Store in 2018, and finally launched in the official version on Steam and Nintendo Switch in September 2020, and immediately received a very high evaluation, sweeping many games Awards, becoming one of the most highly rated games in 2020, second only to “War Ghosts on the Horse” and “The Last of Us 2”. And this month also officially launched the next-generation version, but also boarded the Xbox Game Pass platform.
