Hades Nintendo Switch Review – Hades is a roguelike action role-playing video game developed by Supergiant Games. Have they done it again? In a word – Yes! Check out our in depth nintendo switch review of this awesome game.
About the game:
Defy the god of the dead as you hack and slash out of the Underworld in this rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion and Transistor.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience thousands of unique story events as you learn about what’s really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that’s been core to Supergiant’s games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.

The fact that you can PET CERBERUS, THE GUARD DOG OF THE UNDERWORLD EASILY MAKES THIS A 10/10 GAME
This game is phenomenally good.
love this game Supergiant are genius
I feel like this is a game that anyone who even slightly enjoys roguelikes/roguelites should pick up. Especially while it's on sale! I'm doing a blind playthrough on my channel if anyone would be interested in givin me a looksie. What's everyone's favorite weapon so far?
I am not a fan of roguelike games, however I do love Greek Mythology, so I bought the game and once I played it, I couldn’t put it down. It is a 10 out of 10 from someone who doesn’t like roguelike games. I want DLC.
3 of us got this on our switch. Loving it so far.
I don’t normally play games like this, but I randomly picked it up yesterday and I’m so addicted!! Also does anyone know how to check how many runs you had/deaths? Unless everyone just counting in their heads?!
Thanks guys.. bought it for 19.95 US on the US eshop.. first switch game I have bought in ages.. I was going to buy it on steam but decided I wanted to play this one handheld in bed. Cheers and keep safe!
Hades managed to de-throne Dead Cells as my all time favorite rogue-lite within the first couple of runs. There's just something special about Supergiant Games and their style that immediately hooks me and won't let go. There's so much to unlock, so many small details you come across in each run and in the hub, each character is uniquely charming with awesome voice acting and i've rarely come across a rogue-lite that is as fair and motivating when it comes to progression. As close to a perfect game in the genre as it gets for me.
10's all round ! – perfect game score and 10k views . Top stuff indeed!
A mili weapon.
Great review 👍 I'm in love with this game! I can't fault it. I love Diablo and dead cells so for me this is perfect.
The 676th review of this game saying the same thing as everyone else.
Do you think there be DLC in the future like Dead Cells?
I think this game got the "one more run " mechanic down . Do also enjoy when you character quips "Just one more" when you start the next run.
How much variation is there between the weapons? Is it just the 6 weapons in the beginning or can youi find more in the runs?
after 10 hours of play my game data has been corroupred due to erro so i lost all upgrades
this game gave me nostalgic feeling of back when i used to try and solo dungeons in mmorpg where i see how far i can go.it’s also amazing how selecting a different weapon feels like i just changed classes. best part is every room is different from the last run.
I'm hoping for a physical Supergiant Games Collection that includes Pyre on the Switch someday
I can't stress enough how important it is for me to see the actual handheld gameplay in a review. Keep up the good work guys!
Bas-ti-on? It's Bas-tion!
One of the best games ever! Do not miss it guys!!
666 likes fit perfect with this game LOL! I did not like it to not ruined it
I'm trying to decide between Hades or Neon Abyss. I've had my eye on Neon Abyss for so long & it is now on sale but I've heard great things about this recent switch drop
The is best indie game of 2020.. I literally can’t stop playing it.. I find myself needing that one more play through.. What a fantastic game
This might be my favorite game that I've ever played on my Nintendo Switch.
I literally can't stop playing this game!
I'm a little late to the game as I just bought it tonight. I can't put it down! I sadly just missed the sale but it's the best $25 I've spent on a game in quite some time.
