Hades

A Rougue-like for the Ages!
Personally not really a rougue-like player, but this game... its sooo much more - i guess i was primarily attracted by the story and art style, but the mechanics are what kept me going ultimately. Unlocking the different weapons and getting through runs with each of them felt unique, even when doing multiple runs with the same one, because of the randomness introduced in boss fights, chance encounters, etc.
The only downside for me was when i finally beat Hades enough times that i unlocked Heats, and by then i had seen it all in terms of story, so it kinda fizzled out for me.
Wish there was a 'secret' ending that unlocked at the end of the Heats, which would have 100% kept me going, but for what it was, this journey of getting through hell was Hella Fun --- Highly recommend!
