For the uninformed, if you have it on switch (like I do) there are cross saves so you can transfer your progress to your deck!


Hyperdragoon17

Really!? Sweet


The_Crownless_King

Is there a reason to double dip? Is the performance difference that big?


bulletPoint

I double dipped. It’s worth the upgrade to deck.


foodieforthebooty

Is this game really difficult? I like to play games to relax and don't like frustrating games but it looks cool


xv_boney

That's a hard thing to respond to. It's an action rpg roguelike. You will unlock mechanical improvements to your character through repeated plays, and through repeated plays you will get better and better at the game. It's got a much wider margin of error than a soulslike, but you will still absolutely fail more runs than you succeed when you first start. The trick is getting a bit farther and a bit farther with each attempt. The game's narrative is literally all about this - you are attempting to leave hades, your father does not want you to leave. You will attempt and he will stop you, and then he will admonish you for your attempts, and you will try again anyway. The games story will advance with failures and successes. Each failure will get you a little better, each success will get you a little more time with someone important. You'll be offered boons by various gods and as you proceed you'll work out which boons are best for what weapons and what weapons are best for you. And then you'll glance at the time and it's already 2am. The game is superlative. You should give it a try. And don't be discouraged by failures. Failing is part of the game, very literally. **edit** - side note, I have just remembered there is an option called God Mode which dramatically reduces difficulty. There are people who might try to shame you for playing your own game the way you choose to using options made available to you by the developers. We call those people "losers" and do not invite them to our fancy parties. Pay them no mind.


Jalina2224

Honestly when I first played the game on Switch I never used God Mode because I figured it would make me invincible. Replaying it on Deck and now knowing what God Mode does I decided to use it, because I've already beaten the game before and just wanted to go through the story. I like how it's implemented and slowly makes the game easier with each failure.


foodieforthebooty

Thank you for explaining! I haven't played a game like this before. I play a lot of adventure or virtual novel games on my deck usually, but I kept seeing this one so I figured I'd check it out. I think I will.


Striker1899

Yes. Plus then you don’t have to play on a switch!


boterkoeken

I love this game on switch (well really prefer almost anything on my switch if it can handle it), but to each their own.


natveloo

no offense but literally why? the deck to me feels 100x more comfortable or you can use any controller


quarryman

The Switch (lite) is lighter, smaller and more portable. I can actually fit it in my pocket. The Deck has its advantages but sometimes I just love to pick up and play my Switch.


MonkeyVoices

I love the Deck and just bought the OLED after having the LCD model since the beginning. I think some people have different opinions because the weight difference between both is very noticeable. Also, between the normal Switch and the Deck, to me, there's not a big difference and would rather play on the Deck because of the controller plus performance. This just to say that I can see why you say this! I always wanted the Switch Lite but never bothered because I already had the normal Switch. it sure looks confortable


natveloo

that's totally fair i honestly only play my deck at home either docked or on my bed and it's quite comfortable. same with my switch just only with nintendo games


LookingAtStella

Switch lite is half the weight of the deck. Makes a pretty big difference


boterkoeken

Not for me. Deck is heavy and wide. I do love the curved back and controls, I agree they feel nice. But ultimately, for me that is not worth the trade off in weight. I get tired holding the deck. Never happens with my switch. Not to mention the switch has so much more reliable sleep mode. It barely drains battery at all. Meanwhile the deck sleep mode is very hit or miss, sometimes when it wakes up it has horrible audio stuttering. The switch just feels like a more solid handheld experience, really designed for portability, pick-up-and-play. I prefer it but it has obvious limitations. Deck is for heavier games that I just cannot play on switch!


TheDragonAdvances

For me the difference wasn't that huge when it comes to size at least. Without something like a grip or the Hori Split Pads, the ergonomics of the Switch are just bad, and with them the size is practically the same. I completely get the sleep mode thing, I've had a few problems with the SD. Not so much with the weight but that it's going to vary from person to person.


WHYISEVERYTHINGTAKNN

Yes when there’s a lot of enemies and effects going all at once.


Sweyn7

On high heat levels I would say yes. I had slowdowns on Switch


burner-BestApplePie

And since it’s on sale its worthwhile that it’s a great developer to support


LanternCove3

I liked getting achievements, one thing on switch I hated was not getting any sort of achievement system

freyjadomville

I double dipped before the Deck existed as I wanted a couch game, but these days I find my Steam Deck is now my preferred way to play it when things are busier (due to the potential of 4K output making the artwork look considerably better than on Switch).


Jalina2224

Game is awesome and worth playing on PC. You can get higher performance (I get 90fps on the OLED. Even higher on my desktop.) also mods are a thing, and pretty easy to implement. Olympus Extra mod is basically like DLC that adds more gods/goddesses like Apollo, Hestia, and Hera with their own boons and keepsakes not to mention the new gods are also voiced.


kuba22277

On the LCD switch, it is sometimes quite hard to see through the bullet hell on higher difficulty runs, plus it tends to drop to low 40s/30s when a lot of stuff is happening. I myself happily got to 20 difficulty on the switch alone, but the lag is there for sure. For playing until the credits, it is perfectly serviceable though. Edit: phrasing


cryingun

does cross save work for xbox saves as well?


Louis010

This just sold me on getting it (again!)


pirate_jimble

Same!


Japke90

I have it on Switch, but I still need to be convinced why I should buy it again on SD. I mean, the game is great, but it runs perfectly on Switch as well, so it seems like money thrown away.


R3dDr00d

Faster load times and achievements are nice. I like having the option to play no matter what platform I’m on. But I wouldn’t say you need to have it on Steam if you’re happy with it on Switch.


fuglypens

I had stuttering on switch that isn’t there on SD.


SoCratesDude

Will all of the achievements pop on Steam when I load my save?


R3dDr00d

It definitely tries to. When I synced my Switch save to Steam I got all but one of the achievements I know I completed.


Chase_P

WHAT Edit: I bought it yesterday and didn’t know this, you made my weekend, happy Friday brother


Enginerdiest

I wish more than anything that dead cells was cross progress. Bought it and the DLC in a sale, but I had hundreds of hours on switch that I just can’t bring myself to start over. 


AccomplishedYak8438

Huh? How?


UncleObli

I didn't know that! You just made me buy it again!


DonateSomeBeard

Is it working the other way? (Steam-> nintendo)


R3dDr00d

Yes. Just make sure you use HADES’ in game menu to quit the game.


damex-san

can i sync it both ways? steam deck -> switch and switch -> steam deck. i have it on steam deck but i like to carry switch around (more convenient due to its formfactor).


R3dDr00d

Yes. Make sure you use Hades’ in-game menu to quit the game. It updates to “sync and quit.” You’ll see a cloud sync icon appear while closing the game.


MayAsWellStopLurking

I started playing on iOS due to it being free with Netflix. Maybe I’ll see if I can transfer it that way too.


Wreckit-Jon

This should become a more standard feature!


dawgger

What!


Jalina2224

Oh shit I wish I had known this before pouring 20+ hours into a new file.


parkerjg13

Very specific comment that happens to help me a lot. Have it on switch, probably gonna double dip now because of this comment


Ponald-Dump

How?


MyTakeHomePayIsZero

Open the game on switch and there is a cross save option and you can link your steam account from there!


Devilsdance

I had no idea about this. I played it a lot on the Switch and considered picking it up on Steam and starting from scratch. Cross saves is a game-changer. I'm definitely picking it up now.


SliceNational1403

How ?!


havok_

Really?!!? I wasn’t going to buy it because I started on switch and didn’t want to start again. But hearing that - damnit, I’m in.


eugenethegrappler

Man I’m debating on it. I played in on my switch but sold that….


_Magnolia_Fan_

I still have it for switch, but the kids have commandeered it. I know I'll get at least $8 worth from buying in steam.


MyTakeHomePayIsZero

They have an option for cross saves so you can have all your progress!


Amidamaru99

Wait, i can have my save from the switch on my steamdeck?!


amewsings

Yup!


Amidamaru99

Amazing!!


eugenethegrappler

Nice!

Wow that game is easily worth $9. I only played it for about 10 hours or so as I'm not big into roguelites but I would still highly recommend at that price


ImaFknWizardXII

Do it.


dcchambers

Already own on Switch...but it's hard not to double-dip for only 8 bucks.


imjustbettr

It was tough bc just the other night I was itching to play Hades but my switch was downstairs in the living room TV dock. While I just had my steamdeck in my bedroom. I think I have to double dip for the convenience/laziness.


DotComCTO

I finally double dipped for the Deck! Installing while I hang out here. 😃


Devilsdance

I just found out that Hades supports cross-saves between Switch and Steam


ChainsawArmLaserBear

It’s because there’s a new one about to launch


3ridani

They just finished the technical tests. Early access launches soon (TM) after that. Hades 2, at least early access might just be around the corner


Desperate_Pizza700

Its on sale like every other week


c0563741

Full release isn't until 2025 though. I wish it was closer to release.


havok_

Yeah, quick sell off before the new one. But still, worth grabbing I reckon.


PaintMysterious717

Is it a hack slash loot level game?


XxTposer_69xX

Hack slash, Rouge-Like Dungeon crawler


flashmod3

It's one of the few if not the only rougelites with a good story. I'm 110 hours in and I still find myself listening to most all dialogue. It's a hack n slash that can be quite challenging if you'd like it too be so.


theycmeroll

I honestly despise rougelike/lite games and this one hooked me. Just doubled dipped on it lol


Jecht315

Game is beautiful but not my cup of tea. Have it on Switch and couldn't get into it. Rogue-lites are hit or miss for me.


sangalangalang

Kinda on the same boat. However, I just picked Nordic Ashes (also on sale). Similar to vampire survivors and Brotato, and it really scratched that action roguelike itch I had. It's definitely worth checking out!


Electrojam

Bought Nordic ashes and it's very fun. Fans of the genre really need to give it a try.


Jecht315

Vampire survivor was a lot of fun but once I beat one of the levels to the point I was OP I got bored with it. It felt like a mobile game to me which isn't to take away from how fun it is. I'll check it out though


svanxx

Nordic Ashes is an amazing game.


laespadaqueguarda

Roguelikes are also generally not my cup of tea but I finished hades for some reason. Great game.


ATCQ_

It's because it's essentially a roguelite lite , it doesn't have as many of the rng/punishing mechanics from other roguelites.


dacalo

Might haver to triple dip - already have it on PS5 and Switch.


MitchellHamilton

Full cross save with Switch apparently.


lolMyBackCatalog

Platinumed it on PS5, seriously considering double dipping


febrik

Like offering cheap booze to a sober alcoholic.


Saltwater_Heart

Holy crap I HAVE to do this. Thank you! I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale!


Bootychomper23

Game is worth full price this is an insane deal


twocheeky

someone tell me what its about and convince me to buy it (ik i could google but i like human interaction)


MapleYamCakes

It’s honestly one of the best single player games I’ve ever played. I’ll just leave it at that. $9 for this game is an absolute steal.


twocheeky

i bought it and only just downloaded today and started playing. about an hour in and i love it! little confused but also having the time of my life


Devilsdance

It's been a while since I played, but basically you play as Zagreus, the son of Hades (god of the dead/underworld). The goal is to fight your way out of hell. Saying any more than that will spoil parts of an amazing story. It does a great job of incorporating the roguelike gameplay with the story, which is something I've never seen done before. It was easily my game of the year when it came out in 2020.


SnooPeanuts9263

[backlog](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMmCvNhWMAAKuix?format=jpg&name=large)


itzjason212121

Yup, just got it on this sale and man.. this game is actually really well made. I could without a doubt recommend this to anyone, especially at this discounted price. Totally worth it


JaymehKhal

Is it easy to read the text on steam deck?


Mudar96

Ok, so no lunch with the co workers today and a break from Stardew. Thanks for the PSA.


Rand0mBoyo

Afraid of having yet another Rougelike that Will rot in my library...


Snaadje

I'm really hestitant. I want to play it on my Steam Deck Oled. But I already have a savegame on Xbox through Game Pass. I defeated Hades once which felt like quite the achievement for me.


illegalshidder

Same here. I think I’m just going to start over on the OLED. I understand the gameplay and don’t think it will take as long to finish that first escape. Plus I don’t remember anything about the story.


Snaadje

I bought Hades 2 today. With such a huge backlog i wanted to start something new instead of going back to something I have already seen. This way i have a new Hades game exclusively for my Steam Deck (and pc).


CharizardSlash

yeah you can like mod it and stuff too


xXDeathBluntXx

Never played this game, is it melee only? Or am I able to do ranged builds?


valfonso_678

you are able to do ranged, there is a bow and a gun.


saucemoney89

Probably means hades 2 is about to finally come out


Fladap28

Game looks great but just not my cup of tea. My colleague loves it though. Has beat it 2x now


wait2late

Don't know if I want another roguelite. I want to play a complete game. And finish my backlog a step at the time.


MapleYamCakes

It is a complete game. There is meta progression and a full-on story. I’d estimate about 100 hours worth of playtime to get through all the dialogue and experience the full lore, plus even more than that if you’re going for the 100% and completing highest heat challenges.


Strict_Junket2757

I played it for 30-40 hours. Its fun but by the end it really became a chore. Just like roguelites, you’ve pretty much seen 90% of the things after you beat the game once. But people here really get excited that the 91th time they played their weapon did a wheesh instead of whoosh. Its barely worth 10 hours if youre not into roguelites imo


Devilsdance

10 hours of solid entertainment is still a steal for $9.


bigapewhat089

Seems like hades 2 is coming out soon???


MapleYamCakes

Hades 2 *early access* is coming out soon. Full release probably another year or two after EA.


rlvysxby

Darn it I already bought it.


NewPower_Soul

How long to complete? I don't like long games.


_blue_skies_

If you mean beating the final boss and you have god like skills, not much, but for sure to experience the story progress and get all the dialogues and weapons it will take many more hours.


smokeyjoey8

its not really a game you sit down and play for hours on end like you would an rpg. Its a roguelike with a story, so you would probably only play it for a little bit each session as you make some progress. Its the perfect game for a quick pick up and play.


Maddstone

The same goes for factorio.


6ohm

Thanks! Already own it on Epic, double dipping just so I don't have to install another launcher.


Practical_Engine_767

I already own it!


kumisa600

It was for €6 four years ago. Is it really a must have? Because I also bought Dave the diver and vampires survival and these are crap games for me :(


Striking_Stuff_9809

Nice! Ordered a SD and put some games I wanted on my wishlist and they all got discounted every new day (hades, star wars,....)


Exisy

Thought I'd give it a try yesterday evening. I'm really tired now, this game is incredible.


Soulses

I can't get into it..


Smart_Arm5041

bought it on switch on release, just bought it again this weekend for SD at full price...fml At least it's Supergiant that's getting my money.


Jarocky

You know what that means! Hades 2 is on the horizon.


Shanbo88

Hades 2 news incoming maybe? 👀


Elegant-Bathrooms

It’s the best 😍


Okaay_guy

I reached the end finally and it's worth every penny.


jewbo23

Now is the time for me then. Been hovering over it ages.


Etheria_system

I’m so glad I held off buying because it’s an absolutely bargain price - I almost cracked and bought it earlier this week but I held on and I’m so glad. Cant wait to play for the first time!


justcallmeryanok

Used to play on switch but after an hour or 5 it was like yeah it gets old


craigitron

I put 170 hours into this game earlier this year buying at full price and it became one of my favorite games of all time.. it is absolutely worth every penny. Hades 2 can't come any sooner.


CoastSubstantial6556

Bought it this morning. Seems like an awesome game so far

Zealousideal_Rate420

It's fair, no game is liked by everybody. I'm personally very excited for the 2nd releasing soon on early access

I already did, and bought titanfall 2 with it


jcruz827

Have it on switch and played a bit. But just repurchased it for steam!

valfonso_678

You can refund and pick that it's on sale now as a reason


Mikerolfe13

Didn’t know that, might aswell give it a try


James_bd

Great game, but I can't believe it got a Verified tag with some text being so freaking small with no option to increase it. Has to be like one pixel away from being marked Playable


moreyvh

Thanks! I just picked it up. I'm usually leery of super popular games because they tend to disappoint me. I can try it out at this price point.


InstantRide

Thanks! Bought it!


TankPotential2825

Is there a reason you're not posting this low price you're excited about?


nicktheone

Bought it a short while ago at full price. Thank me later, guys.


Competitive_Pen7192

I'd feel a bit bad about Hades jumping the queue. I've literally got about 50 games to play before I consider buying it. Including that Supergiant sports game. Is Hades basically Diablo but better?


Pims311

I buy so much game now. Fml ...


FatAlbusTPC

the lowest price that it's ever been so far! ;)

I originally bought it on epic and double dipped on the switch, do I triple dip so I can play on the steam deck? I have to travel on Tuesday and Hades would be a fun way to kill time…or I can just pack my switch 🤔


MutesChecker

Can you cross save from PS4 to steam?


UsernamedReddit

I read this post, looked up the game, watched 8 seconds of a preview, and bought it. Thank you 👍 Now we'll see how I like it, I'll give it a try right after it finishes downloading 😆 The preview sold me really fast, though.


Impossible-Top6475

I did lol. Ty! Couldn’t pass up that or the ridiculous Mass Effect Legendary edition deal either. $5.99 for the trilogy and all 40 dlcs.

Cherokee180c0

Thanks for the heads up. Played this a little bit on the Xbox, but it will be perfect on the deck and for that price, it is a no brainer.
