Hades will soon be out of Game Pass and you should still take the opportunity to try it out.

Like every month, new games are coming to Game Pass in August, but like every month, some titles are leaving the subscription service again. This time, Hades is a game that not only scooped numerous Game of the Year awards, but that was also able to convince me completely single-handedly of a genre that I’ve avoided until now: roguelites.

  • When is Hades leaving Game Pass? The game is available until August 31, 2022

That’s why you should check out Hades

Hades is coming out of Early Access this fall + will also be coming to Switch

Hades will be out of Early Access this fall & will also be available on Switch

  • genre: Roguelite
  • Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

That’s what it’s about: In Hades we slip into the role of the god Zagreus and try to escape from the underworld by defeating its ruler Hades – who is also our father. In the best roguelike manner, we slice our way through procedurally generated dungeon rooms and defeat bosses with various weapons. Death is also a natural part of the genre, if we are struck down we have to start our way through the levels of the underworld from the beginning.

However, Hades manages to never get frustrating. Not only is each run through our chosen weapons and bonuses called “boons” varied, even if we die we advance in the story.

Roguelikes and roguelites were never really my thing, I just always found it too frustrating when all my progress in one run was wiped out by a stupid mistake or bad luck. However, this was never the case with Hades.

Although the screen death also causes frustration for a moment, I was somehow looking forward to it at the same time. At least it said I could continue my relationship with many of the great characters. Add to that a fun and varied gameplay and, last but not least, a great soundtrack. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a roguelite grouch or an expert: I can only recommend the game.

Have you already tried Hades or do you still want to catch up?
