- Supergiant games brings a new major update to Hades - 7 August 2019
Supergiant Games' early access roguelike Hades has had its next major update, which includes a final battle at the Gateway to the Underworld. The BIG BAD update went live yesterday, and the patch notes show there's loads of new content to keep fans busy, as well as a bunch of bug fixes, of course. Some of the update's highlights include a brand new biome - the Temple of Styx at the very edge of the Underworld, a Final Battle that may let Zagreus escape at last, and some brand new enemy types to face on your journey.

- Hades and the texture of the world - 10 May 2019
Hades is the latest game from Supergiant, a studio that sometimes seems to rival Klei Games in terms of classiness and poise and sheer polish. Hades is all about ancient gods smashing things up in the underworld. It's a Roguelite in which you fight your way through a shifting maze of classical horrors again and again and again. There is so much that's good about it I'm aiming to write something more comprehensive next week. For now, though, I wanted to talk about something I probably don't think about enough in games: the texture of the in-game world. This is mythology, right, so it's all ancient temples and grandeur. What makes Supergiant's spin so memorable, though, is that the art really delivers a sense of what this world is like to touch. And what it's like to touch is slightly surprising. Everything around you in Hades is made of stone, but it's stone that seems to shatter like gl…

- How Hades brings Greek mythology into the modern day - 27 February 2019
Supergiant's Hades is in many ways a departure from the studio's earlier work. Unlike Bastion, Transistor, or Pyre, it's a roguelike dungeon crawler, and it's also the first of the team's games to be put out in early access. One thing that ties all of Supergiant's work together, though, is a strong narrative. Hades' protagonist is Zagreus, a blurry member of the Greek pantheon who is seen only through fragmentary texts that identify him as the son of Hades, lord of the underworld. (He may have later been merged with the myth of the god of wine, Dionysus, further obscuring his original tales.) The developers took this loose foundation and built up their own character, a rebellious young man who wants to escape his father's underworld, tasking the player with battling through an ever-shifting maze of enemies in an attempt to reach the surface. Creative director Greg Kasavin has worked on…

Now that I'm older, I'm finding I no longer have the continuous time required to play and enjoy it. Hades' Star is my attempt to capture some of the promise of Master of Orion, in a way that's compatible with my current time limitations. In Hades' Star, instead of starting a new game every time, you continue building on your previous progress - regardless if you last played 30 minutes ago or months ago. Instead of requiring hours to enjoy a session, most missions last from 5 to 20 minutes. If something happens and you have to go away from the game, your ships will carry out your orders in the meantime. Depth comes naturally over time as you progress your Empire, not by requiring you to naviga…
