After 60+ escape attempts and 14 successful escapes I'm just now starting to realise how to avoid damage smartly, instead of dashing everywhere like a madperson. With that, I've learnt to love the Pierced Butterfly. 36% increased damage!

Facing the Champions of Elysium with 56 max health and promptly died. That Aspect of Guan Yu is reallllly hard to master.

Twelfth escape!

This game is amazing. I've been playing it non stop since it came out. 60+ hours on record and the gameplay is still fresh and evolving. Not only that, but there is still more story! The post-credit content is off the roof. The amount of game in this game is astonishing.

Last night I was having a lot of programming issued and decided to call it a day and play some Hades.

But as I was having a very bad run, I was getting my ass kicked by basic enemies all the while getting emails from Travis to inform me that builds were failing. The frustration was immense.

Two more!

Turns out I had chosen the ability that revived me once per chamber and forgot that I could chose the other one that gave me up to 3 revives in total, even if on the same chamber. Now everything is much easier!

BAM! Third escape!

That heart-seaking bow is the best. 🏹️

That "legendary" boon from Poseidon is a joke.

I got this dialogue with Orpheus about how a lof of his songs were written or inspired by Eurydice.

He insists that he always told people this and tried to give her credit but people still believed the songs were all his. It's fairly clear that Orpheus and Eurydice represent Darren Krob and Ashley Lynn Barrett (similarly to the bard …

As with all SuperGiant games, Hades' art design is top notch. I love the design of every character, but one of the standouts for me is Asterius. Those bright pinks are an incredible choice.

He reminds me a bit of Ikki

I loved the rougelike mechanics and the story. I beat Hades for the first time tonight. After 30 something runs. But I plan on going back for more after a break. Thanks to Cauli for the recommendation.

Having a lot of fun so far. Fantastic refinements on the rogue-like formula. The combat is polished and I don’t feel my deaths are unfair. The character and story interactions are fun and varied. There isn’t much of a tutorial but they do a good job of adding complexity bit by bit and enabling the player to organically figure it …
