Damn you to Hades!
Prior to September of 2020 that would have been a worrying phrase to hear, but now I don't think we'd mind it!
Yes, this episode we are talking about SuperGiant Games Hades (and also Hades 2 quite a lot, actually!)
Described on Steam as 'a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler' (so that settles the lite/like debate) players take on the role of Zagreus, son of the titular Hades, a teenager hell-bent on escaping the underworld and making it to the surface to talk to his mother.
Does it deserve a spot on the pantheon of the gods, or is the murky underworld actually where it deserves to reside?
Take a listen and find out! Plus we talk briefly about the Concord disaster, and how it is possible for a game to fail so spectacularly.
Enjoy!
