Hades II

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Roguelite
  • Action
  • Narrative

Melinoë, Zagreus's sister, takes on the Titan of Time. It keeps the precise combat and the story that advances with every attempt from the first Hades, and adds magic, gathering and a camp to upgrade between runs. More systems and more content than its predecessor.

Why play it now

When you have energy and 30-45 minutes: a full attempt fits in one session and you always return to camp with something new.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoyed Hades and wants more, or who is looking for the most polished action roguelite around right now.

When not to pick it

If you're exhausted: the fights are fast and demand reflexes. Better to start with the first one if you don't know the series.
