So, don you think this is gonna get released on mainline consoles with extra content? I hope so. It's gotta get a physical version too right?

It'd buy this again on PS4 in a second

I'm genuinely surprised to discover this hasn't been released for PlayStation or Xbox. You'd think they're probably working on it, but it seems odd that it would be so far behind a switch version.

Doubt there'll be a physical release, though. I'm pretty sure Supergiant are mainly digital releases, and it looks like even Bastion only got a limited physical release, not even through major retailers.

Hopefully they're working on something else / taking a break, and they've handed the port over to someone capable. But yes, I'll happily double-dip when this is released on a PS console.

Sure but there are a few sites that do physical releases for indie games. Games a TON less popular than Hades.

Are Supergiant still looking to add content to this? I still need to buy it but I wonder if they have long term plans for it

Unsure but consider a physical version now exists

Digital version is up for pre-order on PSN already. Legit steal at £20. Physical version pre-orders have yet to go live.

It's up for pre-order on GAME. +£10 over the digital version. (Fiver extra from the publisher, and another fiver for postage from GAME ¬_¬)

GAME charging for delivery is awful, I don't get what they are playing at.

More people getting the chance to play Hades though :wub:

So I picked this up finally and am dying a lot. I’ve never really played roguelikes so not sure if there’s fundamental stuff I’m missing. I just made it to the first boss for the first time so I’m progressing a bit, just not sure what I should be focus’s on or how some of the abilities work.

How does this run on Switch? Is it a game that's really well suited to handheld play?

It's something I earmarked for a future purchase, and it's £15 in the sale, but also now it's been announced on Gamepass, I can get it "for free" in a few months. Not sure if it's a game that's something I'd play more of in portable mode than on the TV, though I imagine the Xbox version is going to be smoother.
