Essentially, there are infinite combinations of fighting mechanics to try and I haven’t even mentioned Duo Boons (Gods’ combined powers) or the six different weapons you unlock throughout the game OR that those weapons each have four different forms? I haven’t covered everything still, so let this preface just how abundant the game’s content truly is. Every Greek God has at least 12 Boons to offer - twelve unique abilities from their domain (Aphrodite offers Love-based status effects that weaken enemies Zeus gives you lightning attacks Poseidon puts the power of crashing waves in your hands, etc.). But that’s not all… though Hades himself has rebuked all contact with the rest of the pantheon, his godling son receives fleeting gifts of power from the likes of Zeus and the rest of his extended family.Īnd that last detail is one big way the game keeps itself fresh. With the aid of Nyx (the night personified, mother of the fates, the furies, death, and sleep) and the fabled hero Achilles, our young hero passes the point of no return, battling all manner of shades and monsters to reach the surface. This truly comes to a head when Zagreus discovers the true nature behind his birth and seeks to escape the underworld - a feat not one soul has ever accomplished since its inception. The relationship between the prince and his father has been strained and often hostile for his entire life. #NintendoSwitch /7BcS6zr0ynĪ bit of background: In simple terms, Hades is the story of prince Zagreus, the son of Greek god Hades and heir to the domain. Polygon, IGN, The Verge, Eurogamer, independent pundits – even Forbes has taken notice of this game’s star power. While ultimately losing out to The Last of Us Part II for Game of the Year, the indie darling has been dubbed such a title from plenty of others. It has an absolutely thriving fanbase online, posting art and cosplays in abundance on a daily basis, and it swept an impressive number of nominations at the 2020 Video Game Awards. Many words have been said about Hades already.
