- The Hades 2 rival I poured even more hours into this year just got three new bosses, and it's half price if you're quick - 14 December 2025
As good as Hades 2 is, I'd hate for fellow action roguelike Sworn to leave a legacy of being buried under the weight of Melinoë's adventure. After months being honed in early access, Windwalk Games had its 1.0 release date all planned out, only to find itself suddenly going up directly against the launch of the successor to one of the best roguelikes in years, and the game that had most closely inspired it. But Sworn is certainly worth your time if you like that style of room-clearing combat, and its new update combined with a deep discount on Steam makes now a good opportunity to give it a second chance.

New Content Arthur has brought in some reinforcements! Three new alternate Bosses have been introduced. When playing on Knight difficulty or higher, these new foes can sometimes appear at the end of a Biome instead of the Boss you normally would encounter. Lady Kay, Wall of Camelot Though corrupted, Lady Kay remains a stalwart warrior in service to Arthur. She guards the entrance to Cornwall with her gigantic shield, pummeling down any who dare challenge Arthur’s rule. Her greatshield is not unbreakable, however, and if the Soulforged can find a way to power through her defenses, they have a shot at taking her down. Sir Dagonet, Grasp of The Mire This gluttonous former Knight revels in his newfound power, delighted at any new playthings entering his swamp. His devastating hook can render Soulforged immobile, as he drags them around his swamp filled with traps and poison. Clever warriors…

If you, like me, are eagerly awaiting the launch of Hades 2 later this week, I've got good news. No, you can't play two days early, but you can play something very similar. Arthurian roguelike game Sworn borrows liberally from Hades' brand of 'one more run' action, and you can play it right now. After six months in early access, the full game is now available on Steam, and it might be just the thing to tide you over until Hades 2 drops. Read the rest of the story...

- King Arthur inspired Hades 2 rival shifts release date to dodge nightmare clash - 17 September 2025
Hades 2 finally has a date for its 1.0 launch, and that's exciting news for just about everyone. But for Sworn developer Windwalk Games, it's a bit of a nightmare situation. Of all the newcomers that draw inspiration from one of the best roguelike games around, this King Arthur-themed offering is one of the closest to Hades in form and structure. Unfortunately, its planned 1.0 release happened to be Thursday September 25 - the same day now claimed by Supergiant's titan. In an attempt to sidestep this clash, the team at Windwalk has brought its launch slightly forward, and I'd certainly recommend giving it a chance. Read the rest of the story...

Sworn transports the familiar progression and combat fundamentals of Hades out of the Greek underworld and into a corrupted Camelot, where the fallen King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table stand in your way.
