Amazing port, only nitpicks
This is an amazing port of the original game and I really love it. I saved my review until I pretty much beat the epilogue and I have really only nitpicks
1. The default joystick control is great, but for me I wish there was a control scene where the joystick wasn’t completely fixed on touch, as your finger can drift away from the center of where you originally pressed and you can end up moving rightward when you intended to move downward, etc. Just a personal thing
2. There are some minor bugs: Opening the keepsakes container sometimes leaves the shine texture from the chthonic companions on the screen after closing until room transition. Once the Elysium bosses start doing the shockwave attack, I noticed that sometimes after the Bull Horn attack the Bull remains in the windup for the attack after throwing the other guy for a couple seconds.
3. Other minor things: it would be nice to treat Poseidon’s boon where you get a bunch of loot as prioritized over a door, because sometimes if you pick that boon near a door you can end up leaving when you intended to pick everything up.
Thank you so much for this port and all the hard work that went into it! Hope this review is helpful!

Requires a Netflix account
Thank you Netflix, Supergiant
The Nintendo Switch struggled to run this game at full res, but the iPhone can do it really well and with way better colors. Way to go!
The game was perfect until…
Incredibly smooth gameplay, storyline is deep and captivating, but at 30 escape attempts (two successful) the game starts glitching and lagging. If I step away for some minutes or hours, I completely lose my progress of the day. I made it to 32 escape attempts and either the local or cloud save file corrupts and boots me back to 30 escape attempts. If I save and quit, I immediately lose my progress back to the House the next time I turn the game on with no option to reload from saved local which virtually always has more progress than cloud. ::shrug:: now, there’s no way to beat the game unless I marathon for as long as it takes.

Beautiful art, smooth & intuitive game mechanics. The plot keeps you hooked through each re-run as it reveals more about your circumstances and how to improve at the game itself.
One of the best mobile games
Very good game, there’s a story and the graphics are amazing. Thera are also many things that you need to explore and try such as all the weapons. You will love this if you also played dead cells

Love the game when I boots up
Sometimes the game just won’t turn on and I will just be met with a black screen. Shame cause I love this game.

This game is awesome
I originally beat hades on the Nintendo switch. When I first heard about it coming to mobile I was doubtful, if mobile devices would be able to handle the fast paced action that was present on consoles. This game is nothing like that. It is extremely similar to that on the console. The only issue I had was getting used to the controls other than that, this game is great. It’s perfect that when I’m on the go I can play my favorite game. Thank you so much supergiant games and Netflix for the effort you put into making this game great on mobile. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Hi M-BOT666, thank you for your kind words! Really great to hear that you had a blast with your journey in Hades. We hope you continue to have fun exploring the game!
New fav :)
Addictive, deep lore, compelling story, actually got me into Greek mythology. This game will last you a long time. Highly recommend.
Response from developer
Hey Something178! Thanks for the awesome review—so glad you're diving into the lore and loving the Greek mythology twist! Enjoy every escape attempt!
Fix the app starting please.
After enjoying this game fof quite a while, Netflix introduced a start of the Hades app in form of a Netflix other games “menu”. What a mistake. 90% of the times it prevent the game on its own to even start or load the welcome screen! Please add an option to disable this screen or fix its background loading. If I want to see more Netflix games I go to Netflix app - not HADES. This ‘new’ feature does not make sense and it is dragging the game down. I’m happy to edit my review once this issue has been addressed. Please do look into this.
