Hades

Supergiant Games roguelike masterpiece with exceptional polish, replay value, and perfect execution. Among the best indie games ever made.

A roguelike dungeon crawler where you play Zagreus escaping the underworld, and it is utterly addictive with that "one more run" hook. The combat is superbly designed, with weapons and god-granted boons combining into endless build variety, persistent mirror upgrades that keep each death meaningful, and memorable bosses who remember and react to your runs. Even the isometric, fast-paced style the reviewer normally dislikes can't dampen how good it is; it sets the bar for indie games.

A fantastic roguelike in early access showcasing Supergiant's excellence with stellar combat, narrative, and presentation that will surely improve ...

SwitchUp: 91.

Supergiant''s roguelike subverts the death-loop frustration into endless possibility — every weapon, boon, and Olympian feels meaningful. Tense, satisfying, addictive.

One of the best roguelikes with exceptional cast and deeply satisfying combat that stays fresh.

Hades is a masterful roguelike whose tightly woven narrative, repeatable depth, and stellar voice cast make every run feel meaningful. Supergiant's signature blend of story and combat reaches its peak here — a game about family, secrets, and resolution that has absolutely hooked the reviewer.

Hades is Supergiant Games' greatest achievement and one of the best roguelite action RPGs to date, arriving on Switch in a near-perfect port.
