Kind of off topic, but how many times do i have to actually clear 1 to get the full story of what happened to Zag and who who marries and impregnates before playing 2. Because Ive cleared it twice now and I still feel like I dont know anything. I kinda hate how the game drip feeds you tiny bits with every clear. Just fucking tell me whats going on so i can play the second game

the game is explicitly designed to give you incentive to play through it 50+ times to savor the roguelike aspects, so yeah
maybe look up a summary on youtube if this is the literal sole reason you're playing a video game
>>723517574
its not the sole reason but now that ive beaten it i kinda just want to play 2... if i do have to beat it only 10 times to know... then thats ok... i can keep going to the credits. I was just worried it was going to be another 100 times or something.
>>723520250 >Yes, most builds are strong when you consider Duos
That boon isn't even a duo though. It's a regular Zeus boon that you can appear after any other Blitz boon is acquired.

The campaign is about three same length- but divided into different paths so I'd say there are about three times the amount of content if you want to unlock eveey path. Its a rouge like so the encounters are different each time (other than the bosses) and there's a new game plus. Only 4 playable characters, but you can change some movesets.

Nta but combat is thight and challenging, music is fantastic (made by composers of games like Dark Souls, Doom Eternal, Ori). The art while granted a bit tumblr-esque, its still pretty good and looks hand drawn.
Room for combo expeesiom, lot of content to unlock. Just a fantastic game imo. Criminally underrated.

if you didn't care for supergiant games to play the first one all this time, why the fuck are you speedrunning it now for the sake of 2?
>>723523147
i didnt realize i would like the game until i got the 2nd one as a gift, played it for a bit, fell in love with the gameplay and art style, decided i wanted to play 1 to get all of the context. im sorry i didnt realize i would like it but most roguelite games just arent very good. supergiant is just really fucking talented.

My one typhon kill was cause I lucked out and got an insane survivability build.
Tough gain, Brave face, Defensive Posture. and probably some others. It was bananas good.

I'm at night 100 and still waiting for prometheus to talk about the fates. Just unintentionally did a rivals 3 fight so probably going to have him talk about that for the next few visits.
Prom and Cerb rivals weren't as bad as people were making them out as, but I did do them with range spam
Serious question how do I get good at Hades? Is it really just banging your head against a wall until you feed the mirror enough to be strong enough to escape?
>>723526645 >Is it really just banging your head against a wall until you feed the mirror enough to be strong enough to escape?
No, there are videos of people beating hades at "lvl 1"
>>723526651
zeus is pretty good, static shock is a top 3 boon, top 1 if you get the heph duo and the one that bounces more and does extra damage on each bounce
finished it a couple days ago, aside from some conversations not progressing in a timely manner, looking at you medea and arachne, thought the game was a complete blast
i love chain lightning in any game so i was kinda sad to see zeus changed from the first game, but blitz is insane and easily my favorite build to go for
hestia boon to make your cast ranged was my overall most picked boon with hermes attack speed coming in 2nd
ares was very underwhelming but hes the best "2nd" god in a build imo with the blood orb things and omega enhances he gives
the crow and the mongoose are the best also

Blitz procing every 120 damage dealt means that even just doing 120 damage with it is double your DPS, much less once you start getting big numbers and double proc chances, so it very quickly outscales any other source of damage amp on attack unless your build has come together so well that the .6 second cooldown between proc and application is hurting your DPS significantly, which is simply not the case. Zeus is the best damage by a mile.
at 56 hours and have 4 achievments left. these story quests suck ass, you need 20 fucking different conversations for arachnes quest and for some reason you have to bring knuckle bones everywhere twice for odysseus's quest. still havent progessed hercules relationship at all.

It is so far. But only other game that released this year that I've played was silksong. Dunno if I want to play E33 soon. >>723527572
How many hours did it take?
>>723515340 (OP)
No Bananza is but Hades 2 is a close second. Might even have been my goty if it wasn't just an improved Hades, even if it's more impressive it doesn't have the initial wow factor behind it
>>723515340 (OP)
Itβs just as good as the first one, gameplay wise anyway. Halfway through beating the second βNightβs Championβ challenge and Iβm wondering how tough the β32 Heatβ is in this game.
