Epic Deal: Original HADES on Steam, Cheaper Than Ever

May 03, 2024 1:19 PM

The gaming community is abuzz as Supergiant Games' critically-acclaimed title, Hades, goes on an unprecedented sale on Steam. With a 66% discount, the rogue-like adventure has hit its lowest price ever, making it a prime opportunity for gamers to dive into the rich narrative and enthralling combat for a mere €8.33. This comes just in time for fans to catch up before the much-anticipated release of its sequel, Hades 2.

Beyond just the price cut, it's noted that Hades is fully compatible with the Steam Deck, providing a seamless portable gaming experience, albeit with some small text size issues. The discount is not just a treat for gamers' wallets but could also hint at the impending early access launch of Hades 2. Speculations arise due to the sale ending on May 13th, which could indicate a possible release date for the sequel.

Why should you consider buying Hades during the Steam sale?

Hades offers an exceptional blend of storytelling, action-packed gameplay, and replayability benefits from the roguelike genre. Combined with the deep discount, it’s a fantastic time for new players to experience what is considered one of Supergiant Games' best releases, especially with perfect compatibility on the Steam Deck for gaming on the go.

Hades is an action role-playing game developed by Supergiant Games, first released in 2018. It quickly garnered attention for its innovative take on the roguelike genre, compelling story, and polished gameplay mechanics. Players assume the role of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as they fight their way out of the Underworld to reach Mount Olympus, aided by gifts from the Olympian gods. The game’s unique approach to narrative, which unfolds more with each repeated playthrough, along with its distinctive art style and voice acting, earned it numerous awards and commendations.
