Yeah. It's not expensive and it will keep you entertained for over a hundred hours.

It's a fuckin' steal.

Hmmm how is the customisation in this game?
Does some of your actions affect story mode?

I just got it.
Made it to the third level’s boss and insta died because lol no health
Shield is fucking amazing

No.
Pozzed cuck shit yet again. Worse than CP2077

why would you want that ?

but if you wonder then you might get a really fast paced story if your good at the game, you will also miss hundreds of voice lines you could die to

Every time you try and climb you essentially build your own strengths and it gives you many choices.

Skill and your adaptability play a bigger role than the RNG of boons and rewards. Pirate it for a bit you'll see what I'm talking about. I pirated it at first while it was in early access and I bought it on release on steam. It's that good.

It’s fun and cheap go for it

fpbp

Does that mean you just level up as you progress and the available skill given to you is linear? Or is there like a skill tree. stats depending stuff or even npc move tutors that affect how you essentially get shit in the game.
My question was if there are multiple routes in the story or if it's a linear plot

shield is OP. My first win was with a shield. I think it is a good weapon to use while learning the game

p.s. excuse repost. I accidentally commented wrong

It's nowhere near as linear in progression as you might expect. Every time you successfully climb to the top you're rewarded for it with actual mainline story progression among other things, but you can take your sweet time before any of that and just build yourself up before you actually go for it.

Pirate the game first, it's a pretty unique experience with a lot of interaction for a single player game that you'll be pleasantly surprised with. Decide on if it's worth your money after.

How the fuck do you play with the shield? it doesnt do damage i dont get it

How come nobody told me Zag had such a cute mommer?

The daedalus hammer bull rush upgrade is a game winning boon on its own. The shield's dash strike and normal attacks do plenty of damage too

but is there some special strat im missing? like using the block a lot or something

also more special hitting targets plus apply doom is fun

fpbp
wasn't expecting to like it but now I have 258 hours in.
The weapons are fun, the boons are fun, finding new builds is fun, the art style is comfy, and after you beat the main story you get "heats" which allow you do gradually increase the difficulty of the run so it never gets too easy.

When an enemy is about to attack you, block with the shield so they can't damage you, and once they are done throwing their attack(s), let go of block and that'll cause you to bull rush towards them. After that, just keep attacking them (dash attack if you don't mind being close to them, or shield throw from far away if you're scared), and when they're about to attack you again, start blocking and rinse and repeat. That strategy carried me when I first started playing Hades. It is a good strategy to use while you're still learning how the various enemies move and attack. I guarantee you can at least get to the final level/zone with that strategy. It isn't the most fun strategy, but it works if you want to win. Blocking is so OP imo..

I maxed out the default shield and I go for Poseidon boons. I never use block or charge.
I just get the knockback boons, wall slam damage bonus boon, and the wall explosion boon. It turns you into a pinball machine that sends everybody flying into walls and exploding. You can finish 20 heat Elysium chambers in seconds with this build.
Also there's a poseidon boon that adds a DOT when enemies move which is good for boss fights

None, and No. Dude, do you have ANY IDEA what kind of game this is?

You start with a weapon of your choice and get random boons or weapon upgrades that will grant you modifiers on your various attacks or spells. The synergies are pretty much scripted in this game though, not really a con for me but still that's how it mostly keep things in check.
Afterwards you also get the ability to increase the difficulty via modifiers.
In term of enemy and boss diversity the game is really mediocre though.
Personally lasted 10h before getting bored of it. I consider it just average in this genre but a solid pick nonetheless.

I got an acer laptop and a switch what should I play this on?

probably the switch. the game doesn't offer you any video settings outside of vsync and resolution, so you could have shit frames on your acer.

What's your picks for weapons lads?

i don't use the gun

anybody find any lesser known builds that work?
everybody knows the meta now but I tried making a dodge build using Zagreus fists maxed out (increases dodge chance) the Hermes perk (dodge and speed boost increase when you finish a chamber fast) and was able to get around 50% dodge chance. Then I also got the boon where you get 30% increased dodge chance after using your Call.
the build works extremely well for 25+ heat runs. you dodge almost everything and move around so fast that you can avoid boss attacks easily

Why no guan yu love? Special build is op, requires charged skewer. Attack build is also incredibly strong when lucky with chaos.

It’s not a bad weapon but I’m a moron who needs to get hit.

i had a dumb Lucifer build that dropped 3 specials at once and detonated them instantly for mad damage with rupture into walls stacks, also twinfists magnetize into pillars with 500% wall damage but sucks for the final boss
