Hades News

Supergiant Games and Netflix have announced the popular action RPG Hades will arrive for iOS on March 19.

To play it, all you need is an iPhone or iPad running 16.0 or later, and a standard Netflix subscription. To get the game, sign into the Netflix app on your device, navigate to the games row, look for Hades, download it, and start playing.

The roguelike has you playing as Zagreus, the son of Hades, attempting to escape the Underworld with the help of various Olympic deities. In Hades, you’ll fight to escape the regions of Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, and the Temple of Styx before facing the God of the Underworld in a final battle.

Hades, one of the best games from 2020, will be joining Netflix's lineup of mobile games next year, alongside a number of other titles.

It's currently Netflix Geeked Week, meaning the streaming giant has been announcing all sorts of new shows - including a Witcher anime that's bringing back Doug Cockle as Geralt. But, Netflix had more than just shows up its proverbial sleeve this week, as it also announced a slate of games that would be joining its gaming side of the service across 2024. The biggest and most exciting announcement is easily Supergiant's incredible roguelite Hades, which honestly feels like one of the most fitting titles to come to Netflix so far. It's got action, romance, comedy, all the right components for a Netflix hit, so maybe this will be the one that convinces users its games are worth playing (especially considering less than 1% of subscribers actually play its games daily).

Hades isn't the only game joining Netflix next year either. Death's Door, a tough-as-nails action game that isn't quite a Soulslike but certainly does have similarities to the genre's combat, is also coming to Netflix. Again, this one feels like a great fit for Netflix, I could easily see a show about a crow reaper going around collecting souls. There's also Katana Zero, a neo-noir action-platformer with "instant-death combat," and some stylish pixel art.

Hades might just be the best roguelike game ever made. It all comes down to personal taste in the end, sure, with Dead Cells and Enter The Gungeon also on my roguelike rotation, but Hades will always take the cake. So with the Hades 2 release date looming, now's the time to pounce on this Steam sale and bag the grueling Greek dungeon crawler if you haven't already, or if you just want to play it on your Steam Deck.

Hades expert Jade 'AngeL1C' has just made history by becoming the first Hades player to beat the game on its hardest setting with no mods or prior seeding - a challenge that was previously considered to be basically impossible. The incredible roguelike game took over when it was released in September 2020 following two years in early access, and ever since then its top players have been striving to defeat its ultimate challenge.
