Hades is a roguelike dungeon crawler developed and published by Supergiant Games. Players control Zagreus, son of Hades, as he attempts to escape the Greek underworld through fast-paced isometric combat. Each run through procedurally arranged chambers offers different weapon loadouts, power-ups called Boons from Olympian gods, and story progression that persists between deaths. The game brilliantly integrates narrative into the roguelike loop, with relationships and storylines advancing with each attempt. Six distinct weapons with multiple aspects provide enormous combat variety. Hades was the first video game to win a Hugo Award and received near-universal acclaim for its gameplay, story, art direction, and voice acting. It sold over 3 million copies in its first year.
