Only one more day, and then you too can escape the house of Hades! I’m thrilled to share that starting August 13, Hades, the massively award-winning isometric rogue-like dungeon crawler will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10 PC, and cloud gaming (including touch controls) with Xbox Game Pass!
Play as an immortal prince defying the god of the dead as you hack and slash your way out of the Underworld of Greek myth. As you start your run, select a boon -a persistent boost- from one of the Olympians (easily the oldest dysfunctional family around) to enhance your abilities in the fight. Every successful room is going to give you more rich storytelling from the gods, possible weapon upgrades to find, and get you that much closer to making your way out of the underworld. But if you are overwhelmed in your attempt and die – you are back to facing your father who removes all your Boons and weapon upgrades from that run. Back in Hell like every time we fail in a rogue-like (maybe that’s just me being a little over dramatic).
Multiple weapon types and different modifiers from the gods, mean no playthrough is going to be the same. The under-world is always changing – your maps and enemies will change each try, though the gods will remember you! And if you die, yes you go back to the starting hub, but you’ll meet the denziens of the underworld that you’ll grow to love. Go fishing! Pet Cerberus and tell him he’s a good three-headed dog! Enjoy the stories and the people in and out of the house of Hades.
As we’ve come to expect from Supergiant’s games (Bastion, Transistor, Pyre), Hades is dripping in beautiful atmosphere and art, fast-paced action, great story-telling, and amazing soundtracks. Pre-install today with the mobile or PC Xbox App so you can start playing midnight tomorrow!
