Almost every book, film, or video game franchise has a body of lore to form the backstory and improve player immersion, but some games lean into the practice more than others. Hades, the runaway Roguelike hit from Supergiant Games, is one example. Not only does it contain its own unique story and characters, but it also includes the rich and exciting lore of the ancient world, with Greece being the focus but other locations and cultures making appearances as well.
