Supergiant Games have announced the release date for action-roguelite Hades when it leaves Early Access, and will be coming to Nintendo Switch.
As previously reported, this action-roguelite is loosely based on Greek mythology, and places you in the shoes of the Prince of the Underworld as he tries to defy his fate. The gods of Olympus are on your side, and through them you will gain access to a wide range of special abilities, buffs, and permanent upgrades that persist between runs.
During the Nintendo Indie World Showcase, it was announced the game would support cross-save support between Windows PC and Nintendo Switch. Whether the game supports cross save between Steam and the Epic Games Store is unknown, though we speculate it is unlikely.
You can find the launch trailer below.
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.
Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
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.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A 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.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. 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.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
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.
Hades launches Fall 2020 on Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store, and Steam), and Nintendo Switch. The game is currently in Early Access on Windows PC.
