Hades II (Nintendo Switch 2) Review


With the release of version 1.0 of Hades II arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, the already stellar rougelike sequel makes its case for another contender for game of the year.





The roguelike genre can be a hard nut to crack for those who find the idea of persevering against the often difficult barrier of entry to be too much. Hades II, like the first game in the popular God-like simulator, features a rich and multi-layered story that makes each and every run feel rewarding in its own right. In other words, even if you are unfamiliar with the series or new to the roguelike genre, Supergiant Games has made the narrative in Hades II accessible enough to enjoy for all players.








Even after countless failed runs during the first couple of hours with Hades II, I was never frustrated with the game due to new story beats and gameplay mechanics that moved the needle forward, inching me towards the depths of the Underworld against my plight against Time itself.

The Hades 2 1.0 launch is locked in, and it's just a couple of weeks away

The Hades 2 1.0 launch date has been confirmed, and it's very soon. We've been waiting for a while to find out when the sequel's early access journey would come to a close, and now developer Supergiant has written it in stone. On Thursday September 25, new protagonist Melinoë's battle against the titan Chronos will finally be complete, and as someone who's been trying to avoid spoiling myself since the game first came out I'm very excited to finally get started.

Hades 2 sneaks in one final early access patch before it hits 1.0

Hades 2 version 1.0 finally has a release date, praise Zeus and the rest of them

Supergiant Games have finally done The Thing, following some patch teases that'd left things in a bit of an 'either go or get off the pot' situation. Hades 2's full release is nigh, with version 1.0 set to drop later this month.


I'm pleased, because the sequel to the horniest ancient Greek roguelike of all time was already very good in early access form. I'm also terrified, because it's not like September hasn't already had enough games to fight for my attention, between Silksong and Borderlands 4. I mean, I've not gotten around to playing either of those yet, because basketball, but hey.

Among the additions coming in v1.0, Hades II offers cross-saves between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions and the version here on Steam. If you've been playing in Early Access and wish to continue the journey on Nintendo's game consoles, you'll be able to transfer your save data through a simple in-game menu.

Hades II is our team's first-ever sequel, and we've been giving it everything we've got for more than four and a half years. Since May of 2024, we've been developing in Early Access, taking feedback from our player community to try and fully realize this game's potential. The result is the biggest game we've ever made, and one we hope you'll find to be a worthy successor to its namesake.

To all our Early Access players, thank you so much for all the inspiration and support! And to all our prospective players, thank you for your patience. We can't wait to share the full game with you later this month!
