Does this game have story?
Does this game have story like in divinity original sin ?

Is it 90% combat and 10% story ? If not can you give me an approximate percentage?

Is the art style and combat the only selling point for this game ?

Overall, Im just curious why this game winning so many awards? why this indie game out of so many on steam?

Those percentages sound about right. The story you get is delivered via small interactions here and there. It is a good story though, and worth getting the game for in my opinion. Especially if you like greek mythology.

There's plenty of story unfolding throughout every run, with every return to the house, and even with every death. There's the main story, the epilogue, and several side stories for other characters all advancing simultaneously.

The excellent gameplay, art, music, story, characters, and more is why this game is so highly rated. It's basically a masterpiece that every game should learn from.

The story is important. Although it's told not told in a standard way. It's built into the mechanics of the game to compliment it.

Imagine a roguelite/like which wraps a main story, and several related ones, into your success and failures in progressing through the various rooms and levels and meeting various characters as you go along.

It's not a traditional RPG, it's what the devs have done in their past games too where the gameplay and story and music and art all try to be complementary to each other. It's an attempt to make a game as a 'whole'. In Hades they've knocked it out of the park and so won loads of awards.

If you get chance to have a play and don't mind twitchy (although even I'm able to keep up with this so long as I don't start dialling up the difficulty too much) or repetitive (in repeating a very similar route to 'freedom' so often) gameplay then this an absolute joy of a game.

The "story" revolves around Zagreus's attempts to escape Hell, so it's mostly gameplay. However, there's a ton of dialogue with various characters peppered around throughout and between your runs.

There is a decent amount of story.
