honestly, the fact that it'll be periodically changing is part of the appeal, since it is a roguelike after all

The problem I have with early access is that I end up getting my fill of the game when it's incomplete, then the complete version has to add enough stuff to motivate a replay for me to come back to it and experience the whole package. With the number of unplayed games I have, replaying old ones isn't exactly a high priority for me most of the time, so I'm not a huge fan of gating the finished game behind that kind of motivational hurdle.

In practice, Hades was amazing and I'd definitely want to replay 2 to experience the whole thing, but I can also just wait for it to be done first and eliminate the issue altogether. I am hyped, but I have no shortage of other stuff to play in the mean time, so I'm fine to wait.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
We expect the full version of Hades II to include a more-complete, more-polished set of features and content in comparison to the Early Access version, along with Steam Achievements and the true ending to the story.

During Early Access, our plan is to release a Major Update every few months containing new features and content, followed soon after by patches to shore up any issues. We are looking to release the first of these Major Updates later this year.

An in-game Development Roadmap provides more context on where we're at in development and our current priorities.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
Hades II in Early Access already has more environments, foes, and fully-voiced characters than the full version of the original Hades game. But it isn't complete, and key areas, characters, foes, narrative events, and systems are still to come.

We have been actively working on the game for more than three years already. For our Early Access launch, we wanted Hades II to be far enough along that as many players as possible could have a good experience right away, yet not far enough along that it's too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive.

You may reach certain points in the game where it becomes clear that you've reached the end of the current content. Furthermore, various interface screens, HUD icons, and character art are still temporary or work-in-progress, along with various other aspects of the presentation.
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
Depending on the duration of Early Access and the scope of additional content we add to Hades II over time, we may raise the retail price at a later point.

at the very least it might not be a bad idea to even just buy it now in case the price does get increased

it's $30 right now so it's a very appealing price in general

This ruined 30XX for me. I played the first early access release to death and have barely touched it since then

Vampire Survivors comes immediately to mind as an example for me. I got in early, and for a while I was keeping up with content patches enough to maintain 100% achievements, but eventually I just lost my drive to keep doing that. It's since gotten tons more content, including a couple proper DLC packs, and I'm sure I'd enjoy getting back into it to experience them all, but because I played it enough before to be satisfied with what I played, it's hard to find the motivation to go back to it.

Heck, even with Factorio, despite it being one of my favourite games ever, I've never actually built a Spidertron because I played it enough in early access to be mostly done with regular games, meaning whenever I do pick it up again it's either a vanilla-based challenge or some giant modded playthrough that I end up burning out on before I get to endgame stuff like that. The upcoming expansion will almost certainly change that, but I'm still keenly aware that playing so much of the game before it launched has cut back on my drive to experience launch and post-launch content.

In Hades' case, I can say that I enjoyed getting the true ending, but if I'd instead played the game to the point of being satisfied before it was implemented, I wouldn't care enough to go back to the game to unlock it when it was added. If Hades 2 is mostly content-complete but just lacks an analogous true ending, I'm going to steer clear for now because I know I'd just burn myself out of seeing it later.

Have you ever considered that you smoke too much pot and maybe its impacting your memory?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/390a1c2e.jpg
Notice the personal liability icon? That's because hellmode. its not a mode for anyone looking to play babies first roguelite. Congrats on your normal difficulty skelly trophy though lmao

course you maybe didn't see that since you blocked me after I clowned on you the first time and hurt your feefees.

anyways, that was 2021. Last year I picked it back up again to see how far I could go and landed at heat level 47 - again on hellmode - again not recommended for babies.
here is my final run before I put the game down for good.

Bruh, learn to read lmao.
It also removes your invuln frames after getting hit - which makes a big difference once you exceed heat level 30 and turn on that double forced overtime. THAT is the new pact.

Lets see you rush on up to the 40s in 120 runs and THEN you can try to talk like youre actually decent at this game lmaaaaaaooooooo. You actually think youre hot shit for a heat level 5 clear, like you thought you were hot shit for a heat level 32 clear on babymode.

Seriously, stop clowning yourself and just accept it. I'm better than you.

i can just as easily say you use a trainer

actually, i can also just say your images are edited due to the artifacting around text making it look like it's from an entirely different background (weirdly enough, my images don't have that kind of artifacting despite it also being compressed using gamefaqs awful compression, shhh), but as you can see, i've given you the benefit of the doubt. i'm a pretty trusting guy tbh.

That was honestly the biggest thing that kept me from bothering with hell mode. I didn't start the game with it on because I rarely start games on whatever "hard mode" is, and once I was in a position where I wanted more challenges I couldn't be bothered starting a new file when I could just crank up the heat instead. And then I got bored of the game before really getting into it, so hell mode never happened. I'm generally a huge fan of Hades' difficulty system, but hell mode stands out as being needlessly cumbersome to activate.

holy shit axe feels GOOD

(I may have forgotten to re-equip the pickaxe until I was already at the 4th zone around 8 runs in heh)

what boons do you guys usually go for? I like scaling casts, fire and lightning are both fun. the lightning one that aims it, too. but uhhhh, how big are enemy elemental resistances in this game? cuz my ignite build last run looked like it wasn't doing shit to Cerberus

also, daedalus or boon?

the resistance just seemed very, very noticeable for a mandatory battle, and in this game I don't think I've noticed resistance mattering much before now. pretty sure i cleared the second boss with a lot of Poseidon shit!

i've definitely died to the 2nd boss the most, but after i get one of em down, it gets pretty manageable for me. my fails there are just me sucking. 3rd boss being due to a build issue feels....

snare guitarist, be aware of where scylla's facing, and then its just that goddamn drummer. imo she particularly disrupts the fight more than anyone else.
