The variation does at least keep things fresh so your not always seeing the same rooms, enemies and even bosses each time. Each run is randomly generated because of course, the underworld can’t be that easy to escape after all. The game plays as hack and slash adventure at an isometric view. From the fires of Tartarus to the beauty of Elysium Hack and Slash Your Way to Freedom Just in case you’re in a waiting area and you forget your headphones as I did. Should you need to turn the volume down everything is also subtitled in text. There is a fully voice-acted cast which brings all of the characters to life in this game. Accompanying this is an appropriately tense score though it was hard to fully enjoy it since I was spending most of my playthrough desperately trying not to die, again. The colours stand out vividly yet it never slipped my mind that I was still exploring a very dangerous and unfriendly place. The animations of the characters are smooth and I never encountered any graphical oddities. The artists of this game really brought the world to life with a sort of mix of oil and graphic novel style design. I don’t remember a video game where the Greek Underworld looked so colourful. Hey, if this game convinces you to read further into Greek mythology I consider that a massive win! Hypnos happily re tells how you failed in your previous run A Beautiful Underworld There are plenty of laughs to be had but what impressed me more is the fact Supergiant has poured a lot of time to educate you on the areas you visit as well as the characters themselves. I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology myself so this general setting easily sold me but it’s worth pointing out this is, of course, Supergiants somewhat humorous interpretation of Greek mythology. You usually get some brief dialogue with various characters and it adds more depth to the story, adding further incentive to keep braving the trip through the underworld. Also, there’s Cerberus and yes you can pet him! It’s ok folks you can pet the guardian of the gates of the underworld Here you have the chance to talk to a variety of famous characters from Greek mythology such as Achilles the legendary warrior, Hypnos who mostly just mocks how you died the previous playthrough and of course your father who just generally mocks you period because he’s Hades. But it’s this smug personality that makes Zagreus a very likeable protagonist.įortunately, death is not the end of the world for Zagreus as each time he meets his maker he returns to the main hall. Zagreus is a little overconfident and just a bit big-headed for his own good. Unfortunately the journey out is not an easy one and death is a certainty. Zagreus has just about had enough of the underworld and has decided to leave.
You play as Zagreus the son of the God of the underworld, Hades. Time to escape the Underworld and never look back The Great Escape But in the end, was this long journey worth the wait on the Nintendo Switch? It’s time to dive into the underworld and find out. It was a fascinating journey seeing the game go from something in development to a fully-fledged release. It was actually the first game I ever purchased in early access and I was not disappointed. Hades originally released in early access all the way back in December 2018 on PC.
