Baldur's Gate vs Hades
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
Hades
Hades is an action-packed roguelike RPG by Supergiant Games, creators of the highly-acclaimed Transistor and Bastion. You’ll play as Zagreus, son of the God of the Underworld, Hades, and Persephone, daughter of Demeter. The game covers the journey of the young Prince of the Underworld to leave his home, but to be free of his father’s clutches, he needs to go and battle Hades’ many minions across the vast expanse of his realm.Each escape attempt will be riddled with battles against the likes of Megaera, Perseus and Asterius, and even Hades himself. Though the challenge will be massive, you’ll get stronger with each attempt, strengthening the Infernal Arms like the Stygian Blade, Varatha, and Aegis and unlocking more as you progress. Thankfully, you won’t be alone in this battle, since the Olympians will grant you boons that will aid you in battle. For example, Zeus will add lighting to your attacks, Aphrodite will make your attacks render the Curse and Weak status, while Athena’s boon will deflect enemy attacks.
Apart from the action-packed battles with mobs and bosses, you’ll also deal with various challenges from Thanatos, the Olympians you’ve scorned, and Chaos himself. You’ll be treated to an outstanding art style, an epic cast of fully-voiced characters, and high-octane combat. The game is widely considered a masterpiece and has won several awards. So yes, we recommend giving it a shot. If you’re not convinced, well, please note that you can pet Cerberus.
