Hades - NETFLIX 12+

Almost everything about this port is a perfect translation from the original versions. The visuals are on point, performance is great, it sounds good and because the game is finished, there aren’t any bugs except a weird freezing/slowdown bug that occurs when launching the game. It almost feels like hades was MADE for mobile because of the quality of the port.

BUT

There is a fundamental issue with the controls that clash with 2 of the weapons that I feel could be easily fixed. You can’t spin dash with the spear because there’s no way to easily dash while aiming AND holding attack, and you can’t dash mid-combo with the gauntlets for the same reason. I believe this can be easily fixed by allowing you to drag from the attack button, to an added or existing dodge button nearby to allow the player to dash while holding down the attack and aiming. I sincerely hope this is fixed because it dramatically changes the effectiveness of certain builds in an otherwise perfect port.

Hi, and thanks for the detailed review! We're continuously improving the game with the help of your feedback so thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback on the controls. We'll take this forward, and hope you continue to enjoy the game!

The game is great, the fact that it can be played offline is even better, but there are a few issues with the port. The first issue is the difficulty of doing charge attacks like the spear spin or shield bash on mobile, potentially another button for those weapons would be helpful. Secondly, when looking at boon options, you can’t check your notebook, as that makes you unable to do anything. This is annoying when looking to see which boons are prerequisites for others, and makes completing some quests difficult. Other than those two things, great game and port, still 5/5.

This port is largely great, but is lacking in a couple things:

The game doesn’t allow you to play any external music/sound while this app is running. Try to play music from somewhere else (even if the game’s sound is at 0), and it’ll be turned off automatically. This should be changed - I love the care that was put into the music and voice acting of the game, but as someone who’s finished this game several times, I’d love to be able to listen to something else while playing this game. Related, the game audio doesn’t play when you’re not wearing headphones (at least with my iPhone).

Also, the game isn’t currently saving mid-run, and if I ever have to leave the application, I have to start back in the House of Hades. Updating the quick-save functions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
