Few tales are told of Hades [...]

It is time to descend into Hades! Both Sherigan and Mischief had been really excited about this episode. We've come up with the idea mostly due to our interest in the sequel, however, in the end we've decided it to be better to mostly focus on its predecessor.
It's far more chill to spoil and talk about a game that has been out for a while, than a title that's currently still in early access. However, we're both already quite enamoured with it. There was the quite egregious error where Mischief wrongly spoke of Erebus instead of Tartarus, which in itself can be taken as evidence that they had been playing the sequel...

We do go quite into detail about how the gameplay loop, which means that some more intense mythology bits will only appear in the later half. However, it had been fun trying to go through the game from a "fresh-file" perspective.

We're still trying to find a good balance between basic exposition and more detailed discussions. Nevertheless, it's always been fun to talk about how much one dislikes Theseus or Zeus.

Last, there might be some more articles in the work that will touch upon Hades and its sequel. Mischief also has a rather large comparison piece in its final stages. They did say that they'd elaborate a bit on Persephone in the near future. So if you liked this episode and wish to engage further with the Greek Pantheon or Supergiant Games, we'll have you covered.

Small addition:
A quick look into the Extremer Measures Hades fight, while using Hades' Keepsake.
