[Hades II] These deities are hotter than Hades (Early Access NOW)
Posts
Probably when Early Access ends, if past Supergiant efforts are an indication. I am waiting as well.
As for dialogue, I'm still finding new lines and character interactions at about 50 runs in so there's a lot there. The main plot is on hold a little bit but that's to be expected as the final area and 'ending' are still in development. There's some hints as to what might happen though.
Also, I saw an elevator with an option to "descend" for about a third or a half of my health gauge. Descend where? Would that have skipped a floor? If so, was there a certain trigger for unlocking that elevator, this is the first I've seen of it.
As for the elevator, it’s a special type of room. Can’t really say more than that but I’d recommend trying it. There aren’t any enemies in it and the health hit isn’t a huge problem once you’ve upgraded starting health.

I can get to the final zone pretty consistently, but.. I kinda dont want to any more. The huge change up in level design wiped away my interest in the game.
Could you elaborate on this? I was waiting for this drop to come back to try out a full run.

I believe it'll come to Steam when it's out of Early Access/whatever EGS' equivalent is. Which is probably the one type of EGS exclusivity I can tolerate.

Suddenly you're in super tight spaces that make avoiding damage near impossible. There's poison everywhere, medusa heads that just tick your life down any time they can see you, and there's not really much of a chance to heal all the chip damage.

(also their other games are on sale if you don't already have them)
Comes with a giftable copy of Pyre. Similarly, they've given away a copy of the soundtrack to those who bought it on EGS.
Is there an ETA on a 1.0 release yet?
"When it's done," but based on how long previous games took to develop they expect it'll probably leave EA in Summer 2020.
Who do I show this thing to?
I like how human the gods are in this; like a big bickering family. Dad's mad cause the son acting out has upset the dog, who's trashed the living room, except the dog is Cerberus and the living room is an entire wing of the palace.
Give the first bottle of nectar you get to Cerberus. He'll give you his choker which gives you a starting health bonus. Combine that with the first piece of advice and by the time you've fully upgraded the choker you'll be at the point where you've unlocked multiple upgrade options and will be able to go on longer runs for greater Darkness gains.

Yeah, I actually feel like the bow's special attack is stronger than its basic attack. You can use it to clear lots of enemy projectiles, clear small enemies, and actually clear large enemies and some bosses really fast if you're willing to risk getting up close and using it as a shotgun.

Its use unlocked for me the run after I got all the weapons. I haven't had a successful run yet, though, that might speed it up.
And now I have had a successful run! It looks like the Supergiant Multivariable Difficulty System (tm) isn't requiring you to clear at a difficulty before you can turn it up and reset the big rewards. Or maybe that's just level 1, but honestly, that's fine. That's enough diamonds to upgrade my remaining pickups! Eventually.
Using Bow
- Lightning on dash
- Lightning special with 4x attack from Daedalus upgrade
- Lightning strikes twice at 59% chance
- Poseidon Call
- Crit chance from Artemis
- somewhere around 250 health
Thought I had it but was gotten by the
I'm really liking the game though! I think the Bow is my favorite weapon, using the sword feels like I'm mashing buttons instead of strategically moving around and executing my enemies.

I meet them approximately never.
i got twin shot later on with Ares on main attack, Artemis on Special, and Athena on Cast with the Expose boon for what became a hilariously absurd "land shot, then hit q twice for huge damage that doesn't miss except against shield enemies"
needless to say I blew through that round
I did not expect the shield to be my most consistently-successful weapon, but that appears to be where we're at. My first time clearing Asphodel and my first time reaching the boss of Elysium were both with the shield.
Although my last run (apparently run number 8, according to the scrying pool) turned out to be a doozy, and that one was with the sword. Replace attack with a powerful overhead strike, attack and special are stronger and deflect, dash attack is stronger and hits twice, knockback explosion after a dash, explosion on wall slam, Poseidon call...it was my first time to Styx, and to be perfectly frank I have no idea what's actually up there, because I would walk into a room and it would instantly devolve into a chain of screen-filling explosions and then everything would be dead. Unfortunately I got overly dependent on dash attacks and died to AoEs in the second phase of the Styx boss fight. Soon though! Soon...
It's cool, that only happens when
The Shield is also really fun slamming people into walls.
managed a sweet run with Stygius where i went Nemesis Aspect, World Splitter + Armor Slayer as Daedalus upgrades, then Athena's backstab status and a very lucky Chaos Epic boon to get incredible crits - i was doing like ~590 crits normally and upwards of 1500 with all statuses applied + shot bonus
Just fantastic. I am shaking from the rush.
