  • Roguelite
  • Action
  • Narrative

Zagreus tries to escape the Underworld again and again. Fast, precise combat, boons from the gods that change every attempt and a story that moves forward precisely when you die. It's a roguelite that respects your time and rewards you even when you lose.

Why play it now

An attempt lasts between 20 and 40 minutes and you always return home with something: upgrades, new dialogue or story progress.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants intense action with constant progression and a narrative that keeps you company without interrupting.

When not to pick it

If you're really tired, the combat demands reflexes and attention. It's also not for you if you hate repeating areas.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 95 out of 100
  • Story: 70 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
  • Creating: 35 out of 100
  • Exploring: 30 out of 100
