Supergiant Games' rogue-like dungeon crawler 'Hades,' a standout hit during its Steam Early Access phase, has officially launched on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Originally released in early access in 2018, the game garnered widespread praise for its fluid combat, rich narrative, and striking art style. The full 1.0 version debuted on PC in September 2020, earning multiple Game of the Year awards. Now, console players can experience the acclaimed title, which seamlessly blends fast-paced action with deep storytelling.
'Hades' follows Zagreus, the rebellious son of the titular god, as he battles through the underworld to escape his father’s domain. Each escape attempt is unique, thanks to procedurally generated levels and a vast array of divine boons that alter gameplay. The Switch and PS5 versions retain all the features that made the PC release a hit, including cross-save functionality between platforms.
Industry analysts note that the console release could further cement 'Hades' as a modern indie classic. With its addictive gameplay loop and polished presentation, the game is poised to attract a new wave of players. Supergiant Games, known for titles like 'Bastion' and 'Transistor,' has once again delivered a masterclass in game design.
