Hades, the roguelike game about operating away from your private home in Hell, has launched a brand new replace immediately. This one known as “Welcome To Hell” and regardless of the title, provides methods to make the usually irritating style tougher or simpler.
Supergiant Games’ newest has been in early entry on the Epic Games Store for just below a yr and the Welcome To Hell replace is simply the newest of many chunky additions. This summer time it acquired a final battle and Steve Hogarty was already quite impressed with Hades earlier than all of the patches started rolling in. As with any roguelike, Hades has you battle monsters with rising issue till you die (and even if you happen to don’t) after which tells you do do it yet again. And once more.
Welcome To Hell provides two further difficulties to the game, “God Mode” and “Hell Mode,” which work about how you’d count on.

If you occur to be somebody who actually enjoys Supergiant’s different games and also you additionally occur to be very dangerous at roguelikes and also you simply so occur to be me, now is perhaps a good time to provide it a spin once more, you coward.
Say what you need about straightforward issue modes in games, however I simply couldn’t be bothered to beat my head in opposition to the partitions of Hell in Hades when it first launched the way in which I can muster endurance for one thing like Dark Souls. God Mode could also be precisely what I have to take one other crack at Hades and truly take pleasure in it with my restricted time.

Supergiant notice that this patch brings “more new narrative events & voice lines than any previous update.” You may also fee the House Contractor so as to add furnishings to the underworld that enhance the effectiveness of pickups present in every run. Your protagonist can now additionally discover a particular parchment that allows you to fulfill the prophecies of the Fates for a reward. This nonetheless simply skims the floor of what’s been packed into the most recent replace to Hades.
You can learn the line-by-line patch notes on Supergiant’s blog. Or, as is now apparently custom, you’ll be able to hearken to Supergiant’s voice man Logan Cunningham learn them to you because the narrator of Hades.
