Hades, the acclaimed rogue-like dungeon-crawler from developer Supergiant – and by ‘acclaimed’, we’re talking Game-of-the-Year levels of good here – launches for iOS as part of a Netflix subscription later this month, on 19th March.
Hades, the fourth game from Supergiant – following the studio’s impressive Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre – charts protagonist Zagreus’ attempts to escape the Underworld and reach Mount Olympus, all with a little bit of help from an entire pantheon of Greek gods.
It’s an isometric action-adventure built around a wonderfully punchy combat system that follows the classic rogue-like template by offering handy permanent upgrades after an escape attempt fails, all in aid of helping Zagreus inch just a little bit closer to freedom each time.
