Game Overview:
Hades 2 is a roguelike action game developed and published by Supergiant Games.
Players play as Hades’ daughter Melinoë, sister of the first game’s protagonist, who embarks on a quest to take on Chronos, the Titan of Time.
Supergiant Games will then "patch that a few times to shore up any issues and repeat this broader process...until we consider the game complete!"
Melinoë’s sprint should now have more responsive turning while dashing allows for more reliable escapes from attack recovery animations.
The patch goes live later this month, after which Supergiant will release another before focusing on its first major update.
