About Hades II
Hades II is a sequel roguelike game from Supergiant Games, creators of Hades, Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre. You play as Melinoë, immortal daughter of Hades, on her quest to defeat the Titan of Time, battling numerous angry lost souls along the way. Death is a mere inconvenience for Melinoë, who returns each time to the crossroads to make incantations in Hecate's magical cauldron and try again. Receive Boons from the Gods of Olympus and find treasures to aid in stopping Time itself.

Quote of the Patch
“
'Zeus now cast his new weapon, pale and blinding, through the fabric of the sky, ripping it end to end; then he hurled another, stronger, at his father: it fell like a white-hot sword thrust with inexorable force.'
