Supergiant Games, the developers of rogue-like dungeon crawler Hades II, have shared exciting news: the game won the “Best Game on Steam Deck” award!
During its original release, Hades II received mostly positive reviews regarding its gameplay loop and controls. However, quite a few had been complaining about the game’s true ending – so the developers got back to work, completely re-done the ending, and delighted the fans with a much deeper, narratively sound experience.
Since then, the game had been accumulating overwhelmingly positive reviews at a rapid pace, currently sitting at almost 60k user reviews total. If you were looking at a game to challenge your skills, prepare to battle beyond the Underworld using dark sorcery to take on the Titan of Time.
“Thanks so much to everyone who voted, as your votes determined the nominees in each category and ultimately the winners. So many great games are released on Steam each year that to earn one of these awards is truly a rare honor. (All the more so in our case, as this marks the first time one of our team’s games has earned a Steam Award!)
We wanted Hades II to provide a great experience on Steam Deck, and worked to get the game running as smoothly and efficiently as possible with an eye toward the portable system’s form factor. Hades II was always meant to be the sort of game you could play for a few minutes at a time or in long stretches… whatever you feel like and have time for! We’re very grateful that it stood out, and hope you all continue to enjoy the game on Steam Deck for a long while yet.”
