Current Events > I know I'm late to the party but Hades has no fucking business being so good

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bought a Switch again after selling mine like 3 years ago and it would have been worth it for this alone (yes I know it's on PC). Just stupidly fun and a great "one more run" *8 hours later* game

It's just designed like most shitty rng games honestly

Playing an actual roguelike like DC:SS would be better

Do you consider weapon choice a spoiler?

If not:
I found the shield super easy for beating her my first time (now sword and bow work fine/better). You can block her attacks then ram into her and repeat

Shield is OP when starting out but not for the reason you said. Dash+throw forever

I've been doing that lol maybe my gimp hands just aren't quick enough

yes it's very good

I've just about finished my time with that. Its good, but after about 80 rounds, I'm kinda sick of it.

The most fun part is probably finding new combinations of boons and weapons that work well together.

She only has a few moves and they're all pretty telegraphed. If she crouches down she will dash in your direction. If she rises up in place, she'll do an AoE around her. She'll have a round where she spams a bunch of small projectiles in a wide cone. And if she lays down large circles on the field, dont stand in them. You can mostly ignore the adds.

If you're ever having trouble with the game, I'd suggest using Athena's Dash boon. The one that deflects projectiles while you're dashing. The one boon is practically a gamebreaker, as far as just gimping tons of enemies.

dash + deflect anything is always too good, athena's deflect dash is just busted, you get that and then all you need is raw damage

Deflect doesn't just work on projectiles, it works on melee attacks as well. (I think all attacks except shockwaves.) This is what makes Divine Dash so amazing. All dashes are invincible, but Divine Dash will hit attacks and nullify them (plus deal a portion of their damage back) so even if you're inside the attack when the dash ends, or you use a dash attack which cancels the invincibility, the attack still doesn't hit you if you deflected it.

It's a Supergiant game. It has all the business.

Apparently a physical Switch release is coming out in March so i'm waiting for that, but i really wanna play it.

---

going for a 32 heat run now, bit of a bitch so far.

Legit one of my favorite games of all time now. I mean, I don't play a lot of games, so the list if pretty narrow, but I f'n love it

---

It's been exhausting for me. I've only played it like....a few weeks and it's my first rogue lite.

It's good though and I love the friends you can make.
