    Back once again with a review I didn’t intend to make but a few days back you all just started to ask for it. I bought it. Couldn’t stop playing and well...the rest is history!

    NIce review. Would like your opinon on how well games play when docked and when in handheld. Some games when in handheld have difficult text to read, controls are not as good or the sound isnt as clear. The Switch lite cant be used docked so a comparison would be great. The characters in this game look small on the screen, does that affect handheld gameplay ? Again, nice review.

    One thing that blows my mind is how, despite constantly dying and having to restart, it always feels like the story is progressing, because all of the dialogue progresses as you die. For example, the first couple of times I met and fought the first real boss of the game I was defeated by her, and each time I met her she commented on how I kept losing to her. Then, when I finally defeated her (and eventually died to another enemy further in), I found her to talk to back at the beginning, and she was mad I beat her. Further time Is reached her she'd comment on how sometimes she wins and sometimes I win. It was so refreshing to see something that wasn't just repeating each and every time. It felt fresh every time! I've done about 20 attempts so far, and I have yet to see any dialogue repeated!

  • @Plerion

    Indeed. I have like 10 hours in, and not one single line of dialogue has been recycled. In a 6 GB game, I cannot believe it. I also wonder if people who are better than most will just skip some dialogues due to advancing too fast? With such an epic script and voice acting, that'd be a big miss!

    Something that was missed in the review is the "God Mode" feature you can turn on in the settings. It reduces the damage that you take by 20% and every run after that reduces the damage by 2% until you hit 80% total damage reduction. Helps those that can't quite finish the game due to taking too many hits.

    The weapon variety really adds to the replayability. Whenever I got stuck on a boss I would switch my weapon and see what happens. It makes the emphasis less on progression and more on experimentation, which goes a long way for a rogue like.

    Just purchased it! Already deep into my 4th hour of play - and to say I’m hooked is an understatement! This game has such an incredible story loop - that even as a rogue-like game it feels connected between each death/rebirth. The story flows right into each death - as you are the son of Hades and death can’t ‘keep you in your room’. I find that hilarious and charming - and dark. Also the feedback - it feels SO GOOD. As good as any AAA ARPG - devs deserve this - another huge win for Supergiant! Also love me some Greek mythology

    Absolutly love this one. I have been playing it for a long time via early access on the PC and loved seeing the game grow. Just when you think you have gotten use to how everything works, the game introduces a new feature that shakes up what you know just enough. Also just wanted to hilight, if you are interested in the narrative (which as stated, is drip fed to you as you progress) but are not a "get gud" player, you can turn on a god mode option which makes the experience a bit more forgiving.

    @@hioe04 It's actually not a new term or type of gameplay but is really one that has lain dormant for a while. Basically the levels are sorta randomly generated if you die. So, whereas in most games, if you die you'll just know exactly where to go back to and there will be the same layouts but in a roguelike things will change from death to death. I personally don't like that formula of gaming but there are tons of people that do. If you like Castlevania or Spelunky or Dead Cells I'm assuming this game is in the vain of those. I've not played it though but have heard glowing things about it all around. I'm still playing back through all the Mario's on 3d All Stars again. I hope this helps you out.

    There is a lot of fulfillment in this game's progression system, but the game also has a huge emphasis on experimentation. The weapon variety in combination to the unique buffs you acquire each run gives you a lot to play around with. I found myself wanting to start a new run because I wanted to try something new. The permanent acquisitions are nice, but the game play holds up very well on its own.

    this is my favourite Supergiant game, and I loved transistor. It's also my first roguelike. I am not very good at it, but they implemented a god-mode (which was actually suggested to me in game). The god-mode is implemented so that you get a 20% resistance to attacks, and that goes up by 2% for every death after that. It's a balanced approach that works really well. After doing that, I managed to get past the first boss (with only 3 health). I love how all the weapons are different with strengths and weaknesses, and the same with the upgrades. If you get something really good early on, (i love knockback with the shields special attack) and just upgrade it a few times, it's very gratifying. The refinement of this game reflects the pedigree of all their previous games.

    Always love you guys, been watching since the start, and was excited to watch your review for the game! Given that, I felt this one was rushed and cobbled together. You’ve praised supergiant in the past, especially Transistor, so it was surprising to hear that you had no intention to review this game. You also talk highly about the story elements in Children of Morta and I truly feel Hades nails it and the scope is far more impressive than the former. I know the game was shadow dropped but don’t feel the need to rush the reviews! We’re fans because you take deep looks at games (specifically indie games), when many larger review outlets won’t!
