yeah, Hades is pretty good. Made it to the second boss, got my ass handed to me

@noiob I haven't gotten much farther than that myself. Game's really got its hooks into me.

@hache I like that even the most disastrous runs yield some kind of progress, and you get to talk to all your friends and frenemies back home

@noiob Honestly I think The House of Hades is my favourite part of the game...

@hache it's what sets it apart from most other roguelites

@noiob I'd compare it to Rogue Legacy, which had a similar "improve yourself after each run" mechanic, but nowhere near the character or charm

@hache I'd say some progression between runs is a feature roguelites (thus, the "lite", "true" roguelikes always have you start as a blank slate)

@noiob Yeah, I think it's one of those nice things roguelites have done to bring in new audiences who might normally be turned off by actual roguelikes.

@hache 18, can't look up how long it took me because lol, Switch, but It's probably like five hours or so?
