The much-anticipated roguelike dungeon crawler, Hades, developed by Supergiant Games, has recently made its soft launch debut for iOS users in the Philippines. This follows an exclusive publishing agreement with Netflix, which was revealed in November 2023. The PC version of this action RPG has already captivated the hearts of dedicated roguelike enthusiasts. The question now is: Will the mobile iteration achieve similar acclaim?
What is Hades?
Hades is a critically acclaimed rogue-like dungeon crawler video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. It was released for PC in September 2020, and now Netflix Games has planned to launch the mobile version of this game.
In Hades, players take on the role of Zagreus, the immortal prince of the Underworld and son of the god Hades. Zagreus defies his father and attempts to escape the underworld, battling his way through the various chambers of the underworld in an attempt to reach Mount Olympus. Each escape attempt is a new run with procedurally generated levels and enemies, ensuring a fresh experience each time.
Despite being rogue-like, Hades features a rich and engaging story that unfolds as players progress through the game. Zagreus interacts with a cast of colourful characters, including the other Olympians, the denizens of the Underworld, and even his own family. The story explores themes of family, rebellion, and self-discovery and is told through a combination of in-game dialogue and beautifully illustrated cutscenes.
The Mobile Version of Hades Is Now Available Via Netflix
Netflix Games Soft launches the game for iOS users in the Philippines to give a hands-on experience of the mobile version of the game for the first time. Those who have a Netflix subscription and live in the Philippines can access the game through the App Store, as the game is presently only available for iOS users.
What’s Next?
Since Hades Mobile is currently launched in a single region, you might want to know when it will be launched in other parts of the world. The answer to this question is still unknown, as the developer and publisher have maintained silence regarding this matter. Hopefully, they will launch the game in other regions as well in a short time, as they do not want to lose the hype among the fans.
