Hades

[Lightspeed]

Fun, quick to get into game. Weaves story telling around a rouge-like isometric beat-em up. All Greek mythology and such.

You fight thru levels getting upgrades at the end of each, collecting money to buy health or more upgrades as you go. When you die you can unlock weapons and more upgrades, then start again. You've got a range of abilities and playthroughs and story telling changes depending on what weapon and upgrades you've chosen.

Sound, visuals, voice acting, game dynamics, story, all top notch.

Finally giving this a go. Cool premise nicely executed.

I'm currently 19 clears with a best streak of 5. Out of 96 attempts over 90 hours.

Plenty of late game content still to complete.

I really like how otherwise epic builds are often super-weak to one particular boss or encounter type. You'll be stomping away and then get creamed.

Hades, when you buy a painting of a skeleton: "Would that you were a painted skeleton yourself."
