How Hades's Genius Design Keeps You Engaged

by



Rogue-likes can be frustrating because every time you die you’re forced to replay a part of the game and start over. But Hades manages to keep you engaged in spite of that, through two ingenious design choices that make the game even better.

  1. Hey! I know it has been a while since my last upload, especially if you don't consider the New Year's video, but there's a good reason for that. For the past weeks I have been hard at work for this video to make it as good as I could. So I REALLY hope that you have enjoyed this it and, if you want to see more videos just like this one in the future, consider subscribing.

    I'm not entirely sure when the next video will come out, but hopefully faster than this one. That's it from me for this one, take care and see you next time!
