We couldn’t possibly be more excited to announce that we’ve completed the Early Access development of Hades II, and officially launched v1.0 of the game!! Whether you’ve been playing all through Early Access or this will be your very first foray into our take on the Underworld of Greek myth, we welcome you and thank you for joining us!
I’m playing it right now after a year of not playing early access (I decided to wait until full release). It’s so much more polished and I’m glad I waited, from the get-go I noticed combat is a lot smoother, and all the menus and art have been improved.
Anybody playing it here? What’re your impressions?
What are the ergonomics like? I’ve heard the Steam Deck gets uncomfortable after a while, and for a twitchy game like Hades…
I have fairly large hands. I usually prefer the XBOX controller to the Playstation one because of that (and the Switch kills my hands within an hour). The Steam Deck is perfect for me.
It is really heavy for a handheld though, so it is more important how you rest arms and elbows during long play sessions.
Not OP, I recently got a steam deck to play Silksong, so I haven’t used it for long, and only for two games, Portal and Silksong. It’s been great for me so far, just took some getting used to. Definitely getting Hades II after I finish Silksong.
Because I have small hands, reaching the shoulder bumpers is hard, so I have those mapped to the back buttons. Reaching the right joystick was a bit hard at first but I got used to it.
It’s more comfortable than my Switch, and for playing long sessions, surprisingly more comfortable than my dualshock too, where I often strain my left thumb.
