Hades 2, sequel to one of the best roguelikes ever made, is out now
Back in 2018, indie studio Supergiant Games put its latest project out on the Epic Games Store. While Supergiant had established a reputation by then for creating games with snappy action design, gorgeous cartoon visuals, and evocative writing, the launch of Hades, which would spend two years in early access before coming out in its final form in 2020, was a bit of a surprise. Hades took all of the action and RPG game elements that Supergiant had already so successfully displayed in Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre, and channeled them into a roguelike format that was both a departure from its past work and another showcase of its existing strengths. The result was a massive hit that's been cemented as one of the best roguelikes ever made, and a game that's created a ton of excitement for its sequel. Now, Hades 2, the sequel in question, has launched in Early Access.
