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!
