Among its many well-received elements, the fast and frenetic fighting of Hades helped it stand out from other action-based rogue-likes. As Zagreus passes the torch to his sister, Melinoe, for Hades 2, the combat is primed to continue in its satisfying tradition. One element that kept the battles feeling fresh in the original game were the additional aspects that could be unlocked for each weapon. If Hades 2 continues the tradition of unlocking hidden aspects for each weapon, it should dig deep into mythology just like the first game did.
