About This Game

A fast arcade action roguelike built entirely around spell combos: you equip a loadout of arcana, then chain and cancel them through waves of enemies, with relics reshaping how the set behaves. The appeal is the combat's speed and fluidity, and unusually for the genre it supports two-player couch co-op, a direct answer to something Hades lacks. Critics settled in the high 70s, calling it fun but not top-tier.

Reception is a little polarised. Players praise the spell variety and flow but split on the combat's weight and the shallow sense of progression, and the loudest recurring grievance is that co-op is local only, with no online option. The console versions are solid, though the Switch build drew notes about frame dips. It is for a Hades player chasing pure combo-driven combat, ideally with someone on the couch. A PS4 title.
