Content-wise how is this game compared to Hades 1 & 2

[fearful_claw02]

when they will launch the game? what's their content roadmap?

[Dreaducate]

In terms of maps I would say 75% of Hades 1. Art not quite as good.
In terms of weapons I would say 400% of Hades because of 4 spell slots and 4 weapon slots per character.
Boons/Boon Effects I would say a similar amount, slightly less interesting effects on average.
Similar meta progressions slightly more interesting than Hades on average.

It feels like a finished game. No roadmap but I'm sure work is still being done.

about 5-6 hours of content

It's a lot shorter then hades 1 and 2. Runs take about the same time, but there's not much flavor, not as many different rooms as hades either. It's not a bad game, but it's way shorter and a bit more bland then Hades imo.

Runs take way longer than Hades but since there's no story it may feel like it's shorter in the long run.

Runs take longer

Way less story which makes the game feel "shorter", could be changed on full release.

Weapon variety is way bigger (4 weapons + 4 spells per character, you have 4 character atm. Each weapon has the option to have slightly different upgrades which can change their playstyle by quite a bit, so it's more like ~6 weapons per character) and the gameplay loop of each weapon feels "unique".

There are two "big" issues I have:
- the lack of variety regarding room layouts and challenges
- the atmosphere is incredible lacking. The soundtrack/background music becomes stale not even some hours in.
