Netflix is shaking things up in the world of mobile gaming next year, bringing an array of indie gems and new titles to its platform. At the forefront of this venture is Hades, the critically acclaimed rogue-like game from Supergiant Games, which is poised to make its exclusive debut on iOS for Netflix subscribers.
Hades invites players to descend into the fiery depths of the underworld itself. You take on the role of Zagreus, the rebellious son of Hades, determined to escape his father's domain and reach the surface to seek answers and, perhaps, reunite with his estranged family.
Armed with an arsenal of mythical weapons and aided by the gods of Olympus, you battle your way through procedurally generated chambers filled with relentless foes and formidable bosses. Curious about the twist? Well, each time you meet your doom, you return stronger, unlocking new abilities, forging alliances with the divine, and gradually unraveling the complex narrative that weaves together themes of family, love, and redemption.
Netflix's expansion into gaming does not stop at Hades. From the time-manipulating puzzles of Braid: Anniversary Edition to the stealthy escapades of Chicken Run: Eggstraction, and the enchanting world of Death's Door, Netflix wants to make the gaming experience for its subscribers as varied as it possibly can be.
