After playing the demo I immediately bought the game upon release, because it was fun.

But you could also see that even the demo got multiple updates, which showed the care and dedication of the developer. I did not encounter a single issue while playing the demo for about 10h (for a demo!).

Very very good game.

The best feature is the free weekly mode. New units to play with every week regardless of what you bought. Already played dozens of hours on mobile and Web. Even the bought DLCs are synced over all platforms, so you don't even need to buy it multiple times to play with your DLCs on different platforms.

Very generous monetization model and fun too!

Gleichzeitig entspannend und seltsam fordernd, aufgrund der Herausforderungen.

The single player alone is worth it to get this all the other free versions of the first game / mod. Together with the upgraded graphics / UI and quality of life features makes for a pretty good game.

Everytime I lose interest in the game, the devs keep on releasing new updates, which rework one system or another and get me right back into it.

If any game deserves the labor of love award, it is this one!

Very fun game, recommended!

It's more action-oriented than Dead Cells for example, since there is basically no platforming, although Dead Cells can be more fast-paced (depending on your playstyle of course).

One run takes about 30-45 minutes for Hades, which makes it a bit fast than other Rogue-Lites.

There are three main reasons for you to keep on playing runs:
- try new combos (although you are limited by RNG, like with most Rogue-Lites)
- the story
- custom difficulty system (to farm rare materials)

The strong story and character elements are the greatest improvement over other games like this, I feel. Even after playing 80 hours, there is still new dialog and story to be found, not just some repeating text you grew sick of after your third run. Talking to the characters does not feel like a chore, most of them are interesting in their own way, which is a pretty big feat, considering the number of them.

Gameplay-wise, the runs differ depending on
- the weapon you select (and each weapon has four variations)
- which gods are granting you boons (passive skills that can change how your abilities work)
- the trinket you select (you can select a different one during a run)
- a set of perks that offer benefits, where for each you have to select one of two alternatives

It's got less synergies / combos than Dead Cells or Binding of Isaac, but I just got released, so thats fine right now.

Although many complain about the randomness in this genre, for me it's just like drawing cards from a deck. As such, it's a fancy card game for me, with additional features and mechanics, as well as a good UI and graphics in general.

Great game!

+ A fun and short adventure game with a flying main character.
+ support characters with different abilites can be summoned instantly to utilize their skills
+ nice animations and music
+ interesting story that carries the game forward and compels to keep on playing
+ secrets and collectables which reward exploration without overdoing it

- no overworld map, but you are still required to backtrack through the world
- no fast travel system and shortcuts are only rarely provided

Overall a very fun experience, which was challenging but not frustrating. Recommended!
