We got hands-on with Hades 2's Technical Test, and the game seems to be shaping up to be a herculean sequel.
among the best games in recent memory and spent dozens of hours scouring the Underworld, I was curious about what compelled Supergiant Games to make their first-ever sequel with the upcoming. It didn’t take long to get an answer to this question: top to bottom, their latest effort whips.
This general format remains in the sequel, but its progression systems have been replaced with new ones, and its battles have some compelling additional layers. Melinoë is a witch, and so each type of attack can be powered up with Magick to access new abilities. These require expending mana but can be quite potent, and while using the Witch’s Staff, I got access to powerful crowd-clearing skills that let me melt foes at a distance.
As for the changes to its overarching progression systems, nearly all of these have been overhauled in some way. For instance, instead of using the Mirror of the Night to purchase permanent upgrades, you instead buy Arcana Cards that grant important abilities, like additional lives and Magick regeneration.
