Worth it if I like diablo?

[ThinkOn]

Hello, I like playing diablo sometimes and I've also been interested in picking up hades for a while. Saw that it is on sale for a decent price I guess and I was just wondering how the game plays because I've heard that it is a very difficult game and I wouldn't be as interested if it is too hard

Nothing like Diablo, it's a roguelike, you go as far as you can, die, buy upgrade, go as far as you can, repeat, eventually finish the game

The game is simple to play, difficult to master.
It has a story.
If you like hack-and-slash vibes, you're going to enjoy the gameplay.
If you like stories you're going to enjoy the story.

Too hard: The game contains a built in canonically easy mode you can activate at will for no consequence. So if you find the game truly too hard, you have options.

The "difficulty" might be high if you think "how hard is it to get to the end" because you're going to need hours of trying to do that. But as a rougelite, the game is actually "how hard is it to make permanent progress this run" and that's always very doable.

Thank you both for your advice and info, I'm going to look a bit more into the game before I consider picking it up

You're basically looting & upgrading per run. Once you finish or die, you restart.
Although there are resources you can gather to allow you to permanently upgrade all future runs. You don't unlock abilities, you unlock weapons & weapon variants. You can only use one single weapon per run. There's a few other things similar to diablo but they're pretty different. I think you like Diablo for the looting & upgrading, this game does that but on a completely different scale. Its a roguelike
