Our quick verdict
One of the best-reviewed games on Switch 2: a deep, endlessly replayable action roguelike that runs smoothly in handheld and docked mode. It’s demanding at first, but each run unlocks something new.
Great for
- Switch 2 owners who like action games
- Fans of the original Hades
- Players who enjoy short, replayable runs
Skip it if
- You don’t have a Switch 2
- You dislike repeating levels to progress
Hades II is Supergiant Games’ follow-up to Hades: a fast, replayable action roguelike where you fight through the Underworld as Melinoë, building a new set of powers on every run.
Key features
- Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- New hero, gods, weapons and spells to unlock
- Every run plays differently
- Up to 120fps docked, according to CGMagazine’s review
What reviewers say
CGMagazine scored it 9.5/10 and called it the best roguelike of the year, praising the build variety, weapons and rewarding progress, with a steady 60fps in handheld mode and up to 120fps docked on Switch 2.
It found few drawbacks; even early runs that end in failure didn’t feel frustrating.
