I have to give this a great rating since once it was loaded up my adulty kids have not stopped playing it.
AJBnSD –
While it’s super repetitive like most rouge-like games, the way it’s presented and the progression system is phenomenal. It’s great for quick play sessions.

Brady –
One of the greatest rogue-like games to ever exist. A true gem of storytelling and gameplay.
Brandon –
Amazing Rogue-like in a Greek mythological setting. A fun action game I can probably recommend to anybody. It’s easy to pick up and play, but it also has depth that we keep hardcore players coming.

GoY!!! I love Last of us, but this is you Game of the Year. Fun action and nice story blown away.
champy –
Amazing game with so much replay value. This is a great game to take on a long flight. Never gets old. It’s like Smash TV meets Diablo.

Tecxas –

Dano –
Solid super fun game strongly recommend 10/10 played for hours can’t put it down
Perry –
Very creatively made. Yes, you will die many times however each death actually forwards the story instead of simply respawning you and at the same point until you grind through.
gymleadertony –
If you like disappointing your Dad, well you will have something in common with this game. What wont disappoint you is trying this game out if you haven’t. Get ready to die, we all do it sometime, some sooner than others. But at least with this game you get to do it all the time. Buy it, Buy it Now!!!
Delicious –
One of the best action/RPG games I have ever played!!
Apies –
Pretty cool game, decent story, but not the greatest.
Frank –
Decided to give this game a shot and it ended up becoming my favorite indie game.

Hades is my most-played game of the past year, and even 200 hours in I’m hungry for more. If you have any interest in roguelikes, innovative storytelling in games, or Greek mythology, you owe it to yourself to play this.
Combat is the primary mechanic of Hades and it is rock-solid fun. Six different weapons are available with multiple variants of each to customize your playstyle. With dozens of upgrades obtainable from the Greek Gods as you play, no two runs will ever be the same.
The music is some of the best I’ve ever heard in a game–the composer described it as “spooky Mediterranean prog rock” and even that is selling it a bit short. Some of these electric guitar riffs go so hard my hair stands on end listening to them.
The story is both innovative and masterfully told, unfolding piece by piece as you visit the House of Hades between runs and get to know the various characters from Greek myth. They’ve been reimagined in a way that feels both modern AND faithful to their myths, a balancing act that continues to astonish me. And they’re hot. Everyone in this game is just really hot.
If you’re reading reviews of this game online you probably already own it, but if you’re on the fence, I promise this is the best video game you can possibly buy for $25. Enjoy.

I went into this game essentially blind, and was not disappointed. Scratches a TON of specific gaming itches.
Trill33 –
One of the best games in the switch highly recommendc
Samatass –
Got a download code for one of my friends. He is loving every aspect of the game.
toruokada –
Amazing game. One of the best I’ve ever played. Hundreds of hours of gameplay. Buy it.
Phishy –
Bought this on a whim based on seeing rave reviews. I mostly game on PC, but I finally got around to playing this when I unboxed my Switch to try Pokemon Unite on release day. I ended up spending way more time on Hades. The art is amazing, and you get to uncover more of the storyline as you go through each run. Testing out different weapons, playstyles, and upgrades is pretty fun and adds to the replayability factor. I have yet to beat the game, but I’ve enjoyed the experience so far.

Game of the Year for a reason. What more needs to be said?
pansa –
Good dungeon crawler, would recommend to people that like the genre
Andrew –
Fun game, if you like rouge- like games. Runs great on the switch and looks good too.

If you love any take Greek Mythology, pick up this game immediately. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard people talking about Hades around the water cooler or online. Hades tells a tale of Hades’ son trying to reach the real world to try and find his real “un-godlike” birth mother. It’s a hack-n-slash, dungeon crawling, RPG, and story driving loads of fun game!
LinkTK –
The story and interactions with the various characters is amazing
AlvesC –
Great game, very dynamic and the graphics are awesome.
marklop256 –
It’s very fun and addictive. Sometimes, it can be frustrating.

Love this game and the art style! A good challenge and fun gameplay.
harrisreviews –
This game is a must play! The addicting gameplay loop, fantastic story, and handheld option on the Switch is a match made in heaven. The initial load time on the Switch is long but once you are in, You Are In!
BrettG –
Fantastic game with near endless playability. Highly addictive but easy to play in small bursts as well.

If you havent played this game yet you are missing out! I don’t even like roguelikes and i loved this game. They really make it accessible to newcomers and pros alike, and the artstyle and voice acting cant be beat
