The Hades PS4 disc brings Supergiant Games’ rogue-like dungeon crawler to PlayStation. Developed and published by Supergiant Games, with physical copies released through its retail partner Private Division, it arrived on PS4 and PS5 on 13 August 2021, after launching on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2020. You play as Zagreus, the immortal Prince of the Underworld, fighting your way out of the realm of Hades, the god of the dead. Supergiant notes it was named 2020’s Game of the Year by more than 50 publications.
Hades PS4: Table of Contents
Escape From the God of the Dead
Hades is built around one goal: escape the Underworld. Zagreus, son of Hades, wants out, and his father is determined to stop him. Each time you try, you fight through the chambers of the Underworld and, more often than not, fall and return to the House of Hades to try again. Supergiant designed the story to move forward with every attempt, so dying is part of the plot rather than a failure. Sony’s page lists around 30 fully voiced characters and thousands of story events, so conversations change based on what happened in your last run. The gods of Olympus help along the way, offering their powers. Supergiant describes it as a blend of the action of Bastion, the atmosphere of Transistor and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre, the studio’s earlier games. The game is rated PEGI 12.
Fast Combat, Boons and Permanent Upgrades
Combat is fast and viewed from above, in the style of Supergiant’s earlier action game Bastion. You choose from mythic weapons of Olympus and head into chambers full of enemies and bosses. During each escape attempt, the Olympian gods grant temporary Boons, powers that change your attacks and abilities, so no two runs play the same way. Between attempts, permanent upgrades make you stronger and help you get further next time. After successful escapes, new unlocks let you raise the challenge again. Difficulty is flexible: God Mode makes the game more forgiving for players who mainly want the story, while Hell Mode raises the difficulty for experienced players. On PS4, Supergiant states the game runs at 1080p with a 60fps target, which suits the precise, fast-paced fighting.
Single-Player, Difficulty Options and Languages
Hades is a single-player game; Sony’s page states there are no plans to add multiplayer, so there is no online or local co-op. The main structure is repeated escape attempts that slowly reveal the story. God Mode and Hell Mode let you tune the challenge. Voice acting is in English, with on-screen text in 11 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Russian, according to the PlayStation listing. Supergiant notes the console versions do not support PC cross-save.
Retail Disc, PS4 and Free PS5 Upgrade
This is a new, sealed retail physical disc of the PS4 version. PS4 games are not region-locked, so it plays on any PS4, PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro. Supergiant states the physical PS4 version includes a free upgrade to the digital PS5 version, which runs at 4K with a 60fps target; using a disc copy needs a PS5 with a disc drive. Delivered across the UAE in up to 3 business days, free on orders from AED 300.
Who This Is Not For
Hades is a rogue-like, so you will die often and repeat areas many times; players who dislike repetition may tire of it. There is no multiplayer of any kind. Voice acting is English only and Arabic is not among the text languages. Saves do not transfer from the PC version. The top-down view is not for players wanting large open 3D worlds.
