I'd actually argue, that Zagreus, of all characters was the least ideal (the only one not ideal?) In that he was bouncing between 80%perfect to 20% rather horribly off with incorrect emotions/ the complete lack on any, where they were seemingly necessary. The rest of the cast was, however, pretty on point. Especially Hades, Nyx, Dusa for me.
I KNEW it! I was watching someone playing this game & the music immediately brought me back to Bastion ( a great game I convinced my friends to enjoy too ). Thank you for sharing.
Seriously. Buy this game. It's worth every penny. The random generation of boons keeps it fresh, weapons have four forms to keep things fresh. The voice acting is amazing. There's a lot to do in the game and you don't really hear the same thing twice until you hit around the seventy hour mark, and even then it's automated dialogue for meeting the hydra. Haven't seen repeated dialogue elsewhere.
Man, Zeus really messed up his reputation. I just pictured Hades being thankful he had a son rather than a daughter, because Zeus would probably hit on her.
@@AhmadAhmad-xv5cr Well... technically it is possible for Zagreus to compete with Thanatos on certain levels (his half-brother, if I remember correctly) so I'd somewhat consider that a (brotherly) fight :D
@@vagabond4576 oh well that was not what I meant! XD unless they changed their relationship to a more romantic scenario in the final version :D (which I haven't played yet; but also I think Zag would actually rather have some romantic affection towards Aphrodite instead as you can put up her poster in Zag's room) but correct my if I'm wrong! (I haven't played the game in quite a long time..)
Making the protag ridiculously hot was an incredible marketing strategy. After watching 0:34 I felt extremely compelled to drop everything and buy the game immediately
he's an Olympian. Except for hephaistos they're all hot. Sadly they didn't do my girl Aphrodite justice. But Ares is by far the best portrait they made. If i'd ever had to put "happy, glamorous, murderous" into a picture, it would be their version of ares lol.
@@BoosterUM the version just released is the full version and this game is awesome. If u are into rogue-lites I mean. I play some like rogue legacy, neuro voider, and other but apart from dead cells I don't get into them much. This one has me hooked.
The game has such lovable characters and charm i would relate it to a high school anime. You even start having a soft spot for a certain boss at one point.
@@kayaeki wtf do u mean looked down upon. we call men hot, men say “booba” a hundred times then proceed to make 10000 nsfw pics of any character that is female
The fact that the game has better voice acting and story writing than most modern day AAA’s is a testament to how much the studio cares about its products. Not to mention the amazing gameplay.
Can confirm this is an amazing game. I got it a few months ago in early access and put like 40 hours into it the first 2 weeks (I also work a full time 40 hour a week job lol). It has an addicting and engaging combat loop, plus all the lore and voice acting and music is A+ material that always leaves you wanting more. Can't recommend it enough
@@punchforpound2808 So I really love the plot. It is obviously based around the Greek mythology characters, but you play the role of a brand new character, the son of Hades named Zagreus. You are bound to the realm of Hades but you want to leave and go up to mount Olympus with the other Gods since you don't like it in Hades and you're rebelling against your father. But you're not supposed to leave and you have to battle thru Hades to try to leave. And so whenever you die, you get sent back to the heart of Hades just like any other newly dead. And along your journey you get to meet and interact with a TON of characters. Sisyphus, Orpheus, Achilles, Thanatos, etc. The story snipits that you get spoon-fed each time you talk to characters is part of what makes the game so addicting
@@punchforpound2808 Well you have to remember, Greek mythology is very different than Christian. Hades in the Greek mythos is not a bad person, he's just the ruler of the underworld as his 2 brothers Posiden and Zeus are rulers of the sea and mount Olympus respectively. So don't think of Hades as a villain. He's just a strict ruler and father. And while Zagreus is the protagonist of the story and does some heroic feats (and is generally a kind and caring person) think of him more as a rebellious teenager than a classical hero.
About damn time this absolute gem left early access..... Switch-ers, if you haven't already heard of this, you're about to have something really special in your hands...
With the new RUclips feature, it's kinda funny to see that the most viewed part of the video is when Zag pulls his hair back after respawning, cuz honestly? ... yeah... he looks THAT hot
Hades: Look i know that you want to go back to the world of the living, but its against the rules and nothing can help you with that and it will give more paperwork to do. Zeus: I'm going to help this mortal to go back to the living again and blame my brother for letting that happening lol.
I love this game.. just bought a switch since I’ve wanted to play it so badly for so long. And now that I’m getting to play it.. I cannot put it down!! The soundtrack and voice acting is off the charts.. the story and characters all have their own little personalities that only grow and get better as time goes on.. this game is truly the embodiment of “one more run”
Funny that you should say that. The voice actors and in-game animators were mostly from inside the company and had nothing to do with Castlevania, but I believe the lead animator for _this_ trailer was behind that previously.
That was one of the most epic game trailers I've ever seen. The protagonist seems cool and reckless, and the animation and character designs is top notch.
@@ohawwgeez3112 It's still in early access. It will be out of early access this fall. After that they will port to ps4 and xbox one. Also future consoles because this was project was test to try out the early access model. They have never done that and we will see if they take that same approach to future games. Early access or build the game for years.
It was hilarious when Zag asked the Bone Hydra is it was okay being called Lernie. The fact that Zag only refers to it as Lernie and the name above the healthbar changed every time afterwards just made it better. .... Tisiphone still can't say Zagreus though, all I get is a Zaaa...aagggg....erder...but progress is progress. Lernie just hisses alot.....
This game has been a blast to play in early access. I highly recommend it if you like games where you get a little stronger and better each with each attempt. Decent weapon variety, a fun cast of characters, and constant progression. I personally think it plays better with a controller vs keyboard and mouse.

expectations for Zagreus from the trailer: edgy quippin' bad boy
Zagreus in the game: wholesome himbo who loves his mom and his dog
It's his quest to meet everyone he possibly can and be incredibly polite to all of them, while showering them with gifts.
Accurate, tho he's more like an edgy quippin' wholesome himbo

Lets take a moment to appreciate the fact that you can pet cerberus in this game
THAT'S IT. I'M BUYING THE GAME!
Every time I get sent home I pet him without fail

you can pet the dog, i'll take my goty thank you
And as long as you want

Well yes but actually no
Its basically the plot of Tangled
Ah, so quarantine but with extra steps?
@@hakimthechosen1836 And Repo!
Never has a game nailed voice actors so much, like this game.
Every single voice is flawless to its character.
There’s quite a few games that I can think of where they nailed the voices on every character.
I'd actually argue, that Zagreus, of all characters was the least ideal (the only one not ideal?) In that he was bouncing between 80%perfect to 20% rather horribly off with incorrect emotions/ the complete lack on any, where they were seemingly necessary. The rest of the cast was, however, pretty on point. Especially Hades, Nyx, Dusa for me.
It's a shame tho it don't have animated expressions. That would be perfect for this
And most of the voices are the same guy.
crazy how a game with around ~40 in its development studio managed to have pretty much perfect voices just from the developers themselves.
"Bastion is probably the only game we're ever going to make"
I'm so glad they decided to keep making games.
supleted right!? I’m so glad they went on to make Transistor and Hades!
Indeed great ideas all around on their part
the Pyre dialog & relationship approach on this game is what make the game evolved into a masterpiece.. and the artwork of soundtrack is beyond AAA
Transistor, Hades AND Pyre
I KNEW it! I was watching someone playing this game & the music immediately brought me back to Bastion ( a great game I convinced my friends to enjoy too ). Thank you for sharing.
So you think just putting a *hot* protagonist will make me play this game... you are damn right.
Thats pretty much the case with most of the frachises, pop and ac for example
and hot antagonists too!
Seriously. Buy this game. It's worth every penny. The random generation of boons keeps it fresh, weapons have four forms to keep things fresh. The voice acting is amazing.

does my guy get his bident and queen?
And...
The...
MUSIC.
"Touch me, and I'll have your head(s?)" is the only dialogue I've ever gotten twice 30 hours in
@30l8 Pro u find out early in the game
Agreed, this game is perfect for people who love rogue likes, masterpiece.
Zeus being helpful well thats a first.

Been playing it for a while on Early Access. It is fantastic, highly highly recommend.
Its a Great game, although I would recommend for you to wait for the final release since its not long
In my opinion, its their best game to date. It is utterly breathtaking in the roguelike genre.
