Hades II is a roguelike action role-playing game video game developed and published by Supergiant Games, serving as a sequel to Hades (2020), making it their first project as a sequel. It was announced in December 2022 and was released in early access in May 2024 for Windows and in October 2024 for macOS, with the full game released alongside console versions for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in September 2025.[1][2] The game follows Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to Zagreus, the protagonist of the first game. Melinoë aims to defeat Chronos, the Titan of Time, with the aid of other Olympian Gods. Like the first game, Hades II is a roguelike dungeon crawler game.[3][4] Set "some time" after the events of Hades in the same universe,[5][6] the sequel stars Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to the protagonist of the first game, Zagreus.[7] Alongside her mentor Hecate,[8] she aims to defeat Chronos, the titan of time, who returned to enact revenge on all gods and mortals who opposed him in the past and took her family prisoner.[5] In this video DreamcastGuy does a Brutally Honest Review of the game HADES 2 on PC and Nintendo Switch 2.

Returning from Hades is "God Mode", which allows the player to gain more power after each run.[9] New to the game is the "Magick Bar," a combat resource used for moves that recharges by attacking enemies.[10] Unlike the original game which had a single path from Tartarus to the surface across four different biomes, the sequel introduces two different paths, one from Erebus to Tartarus and another from Ephyra to Mount Olympus also with four biomes each.
