Devil May Cry vs Hades
Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry is an incredible hack-and-slash action game from an iconic series where you get to assume the role of Dante (as in Dante's inferno), the offspring of an angel and a demon caught in between the very two worlds his parents are from. The game retells the famously-compelling story of Dante's origin set in a living, breathing and yet twisted world of Limbo, where monsters of all shapes and sizes lurk. Using both demonic and angelic powers that he possesses to deal with any enemy in his way, Dante sets off on a journey of discovery as he gradually come to terms with who he is and what powers he has inherited.Featuring high-octane and visceral, combos-based melee combat, a storyline that just reel you in, and a rich and constantly evolving world, Devil May Cry doesn't only do its old games justice; it actually surpasses the old, forging a new path of its own. If you like hack and slash games, this is essentially the epitome of a great modern game of that genre.
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.
