This is an excellent game. Please Subscribe lol
I haven’t played Hades but the Astronaut says I should so I will
Best solo game I ever played, bought it on first day of early access then two more because it is that great a masterpiece.
@Captain Astronaut keep up the good work 😉
Fun fact: there's another supportive shade in the Asterius fight, but they don't have a special dialogue or color. Hades is a certified hunting blades/10
Hunting blades is alright I guess
What perfect timing, I had just finished Hades after getting a physical copy on sale during the Holidays. Great video,Captain!
Glad someone else like the shield. Ah EM4 described perfectly. And I knew the end would be 'that' song. Perfect vid my good man.
i want to finish this game but i still haven't because iiiii am bad at video games despite having played them my whole life. i am almost 30 runs in and have gotten to elysium like… 3 or 4 times maybe. but my favorite weapon is the bow with the right upgrades that thing can be unbelievably broken
Hunting blades is kinda meh
i got Hades as a Christmas present and have been playing it nonstop since. it's just… so good. supergiant has a track record of good games (you can pry transistor from my cold dead hands), but this one takes the cake personally
I was also the mythology guy on my high school's academic team but that paid for my community college so it's a W
Still mad percy Jackson never showed up😭
Came (👀) for the muscle men, stayed for the killer gameplay and excellent art style.
Probably my new favorite video from you! Great jokes, loved the toga, and excellent topic. I was literally JUST playing Hades before I saw this come up lol. I'm over 60 runs into the game and this vid STILL managed to show me things I hadn't seen before (I've never even SEEN Hunting Blades but I'm going for them on my next run now)! Would love to hear your opinion on other Supergiant Games games sometime!
Cerberus is best boy times 3
my favorite thing about hades is lament of orpheus
It's not just a gun…..
It's a gun that looks like Falco.
I love this game because its narrative is just so good on top of its already really good gameplay. I love rouguelikes that incorporate your death into the ongoing narrative. A lot of other rouguelikes don't always have amazing persistent stories that span multiple runs. They're usually more abstract or self-contained. That's not a bad thing mind you, but I just love the way that Hades nails the ongoing narrative.
Every time you play the AoT ost in the background of these videos I absolutely lose it. Hades and AoT are my favorite things ever of all time.
Great video as always. Keep up the good work!
You talk about Supergiant’s attention to detail, but can we talk about you pointed out the reference to the hit game Among Us? 5:56 Also I love Hades and everything about it! Truly a mastapiece, Hunting Blades/10. And this video had me cracking up too, love all the jokes in it!
I enjoyed this game a ton, its great. Sadly i got turned off it a little since it felt too repetitive (i reached the surface a 3x and had no motivation to go for more) and the story progress was too slow for me. 20 mins of combat for like, 2 lines of dialog per character. I also maxed 3 relationships and was bummed out that you get next to nothing for it story wise
That being said i 100% recommend giving it a try. If i had bought the game instead of playing it on gamespass (where other games like yakuza0 took preference) i would have finished it, probably have gone through the effort to 100% it too since its a great game
Actually beat hell dad the first time with Chaos Shield and cleared the most times with it, it was my fave. (I also main dual blades in MHR so I'm glad you have excellent taste.) You have defensive blocking. You have close-combat hits. You can throw it. You can do your little invincible rush thing. IDK what else you want from a weapon. I'm kind of shit at action games, so the fact that I beat Hades eventually at all (first clear at attempt ~60) probably says how good it is.
The Unseen Ones might be the best single track of any videogame in the past few years, and I'm extremely glad that Captain took notice
Not just because it's an absolute BANGER AMONSGT BANGERS, it also fits perfectly into the fight as a whole
Sharing it melodies with God of the Dead, but up-ing its BPM and intensity mirrors how much of a different beast Extreme Mesures Hades is to his regular version
Both the fight and the song escalating further and further in a desperate scrap of a boss battle to see if you come short of the final challenge, or if you barely seized an amazing victory
I like fists with artemis and double charge crits for day, also shield spin + zeus = thunderSTORM
I want to echo that if you don't like rogue like games, then don't be put off by this game. I don't like rogue likes but this game kept winning so many awards I said well I have to try it and I was really glad I did. This game is amazing.
I literally just bought this last week haha
This game is not even in the top 2000 best games ever, so please try to avoid doing that, games are personal experiences, some might dislike the game, some other might enjoy It, but an indie Game has its limitations and generally they are short games and not replayable, especially narrative games, where once you know the story you dont care anymore
I'm here for prequel quotes
I love hades for the art style and gameplay loop. The mythological origin and made up story is amazingly mixed and I want to see games of other genre with other mythology setting like hades. Egypt, Norse etc
Also glad to see I'm not the only one disliking the poopy spear, I get that they are trying to differentiate it with Excalibur but come on the one weapon with Chinese origin got absolutely shitted on
Looking forward to starting a fresh file in this a year or two from now. This one's gonna be evergreen as hell (…haha). Great video!
Comment for algorithm
"the narrative"
Thaaaat sounded like it was not recorfed correctly
You haven't unlocked the true potential of Quan yu spear….Artemis special…easy run. Your welcome. Great video by the way! Love your content!
what bass u got?? i'm looking at ibanez basses (because of paul gray from slipknot)
I want to play Hades, but I am pretty bad at videogames so I am intimidated.
The shield was the first weapon I managed to beat the game with, and it's honestly a perfect crutch if you don't care much about the time you're taking. If you get the hammer upgrade that makes so charging your shield fires a laser instead of making you dash, it's even easier.
Zag is so cute >.< Also Artemis…. Also Dusa, also Cerberus….. I just love everything. Achilles and Patroclus are so cute together.
Man I seriously wished I like this game, I think the art is gorgeous and the story is awesome but I absolutely hate the gameplay, and I'm a huge roguelike guy, my favourite being Isaac.
Captain Astronaut: I’M ONE HIT AWAY FROM DEATH
“takes a hit and is still alive”
Me: “doubt”
My favorite thing is the quality of the characters- actually no, I gotta go with the gameplay- scratch that, the music-
FUCK
The fact that the game lets you get into a threesome with both Meg and Than, and everyone involved wants it? Yes please.
hades was really good just a bit too easy for me
