The creators of Supergiant Games’ first sequel have taken only the best elements of the original roguelike to create a completely new, action-packed adventure that’s sure to replay. Explore the underworld of Greek myth and discover the origins of witchcraft. Hades II received critical acclaim for its gameplay, art style, music, and voice acting, although its ending on release received some criticism.
GO BEYOND THE UNDERWORLD.
New horizons await the immortal princess of the underworld: with the support of the denizens of Olympus, you will face the titan of time himself. Victory or defeat may mark the next step in this captivating story.
MASTER THE ART OF WITCHCRAFT AND COMMAND DARK MAGIC.
Ancient magic will infuse the legendary weapons of the night; it will allow no one to stand in your way. Over a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus, will bestow gifts upon you and make you stronger. There will be no boundaries for you.
(NEW) ENCOUNTERS WITH GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS.
You’ll have a dozen encounters with memorable characters, including both new and familiar faces. Unexpected encounters and a multitude of surprising events combine to create a unique story that will be special to every player.
- Witchcraft & Magick: Instead of the standard cast from the original game, Melinoë uses magick. By holding down attack buttons, you can channel “Omega” versions of your moves to unleash devastating, larger-scale attacks.
- Single Dash: Combat is slightly tweaked; the double dash is removed in favour of a single tactical dash paired with a dedicated sprint, making positioning against aggressive enemies crucial.
- Weapon Variety: Choose from an arsenal of night weapons, including unique tools like the Witch’s Staff, Sister Blades, and a battle axe.
- The Boon System: Over a dozen Olympian gods (from Apollo to Zeus) offer boons to customise your abilities, returning mechanics like Duo Boons to create unique run synergies.
