The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that's been core to Supergiant's games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test. Permanent upgrades mean you don't have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home. New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.Ī fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience thousands of unique story events as you learn about what's really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family. The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. You can see Paige's creative talents run through characters that include Achilles, a demi-human hero known for his role in the Trojan War, Charon, the boatman of the river Styx, responsible for ferrying deceased souls across the river and into the underworld, Eurydice, a deceased oak nymph and the former wife of the musician Orpheus, Hypnos, the embodiment of sleep and one of Nyx's many children, Nyx, known as the "Mother Night", who is the personification of night and a resident in the House of Hades, and lastly Thanatos, the personification of death.As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt. Here we see Paige take Hades' character concept illustrations and brought them to the surface in-game whilst also breathing life into Supergiant's vision of the Underworld of Hades, where her well-honed skill soon took the look of their fourth game to the next level. Last in the wonderful artwork of Hades is Paige Carter, 3D Artist at Supergiant Games who has previously worked at Daybreak Games on H1Z1 and Just Survive and also modeling assets for Disney Merchandising. For those who enjoy a less punishing adventure, Supergiant implemented a feature called God Mode which will make you more resilient to damage and a little tougher still each time you die. While Zagreus will often die, the player can use gained treasure to improve certain attributes or unlock new weapons and abilities to improve chances of escaping on subsequent runs. Each run challenges the player through a random series of rooms populated with enemies and rewards, and the player uses a combination of their main weapon attack, dash power, and magic ability to defeat them while avoiding damage to progress as far as possible. For those of you that maybe haven't heard much about Hades, allow me to give you a quick run-down: players control Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape from Underworld to reach Mount Olympus, at times aided by gifts bestowed on him from the other Olympians. Having played the game myself, I can honestly say that I happen to agree with the folk who can't get enough of its rich artistic endeavors and its array of striking Olympian gods. Thanks to Kotaku, we get to have an in-depth look at The Art of Hades in which many believe it to be one of the best-looking games of 2020.
