What is Hades 2?
Hades 2 is a new third-person isometric rogue-like dungeon-crawler RPG game being developed and published by Supergiant Games. Hades 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game, Hades, released in December 2018. This time, players will be controlling Melinoe, Zagreus' sister, as she journeys through both the Underworld and the heavens above to complete her task of slaying Chronos, the Titan who personifies time.
Similar to the previous highly-acclaimed game, players will have to traverse multiple rooms of different environments, each filled with a variety of different types of Enemies, and possibly be protected by different Bosses. As a Rogue-like game, it will give players a chance to choose between different aspects of their build after clearing each room. These can range from increasing Melinoe's maximum health and magick or gaining Boons from the different Gods and Goddesses of Olympus.

Hades 2 Everything We Know So Far
Hades 2 Lore
As with the previous game, the prevailing story in Hades 2 is not given much introduction or premise and must instead be discovered by the players as they go through the game. The only thing we're sure of is that it takes place sometime after the events of the previous game's story. Melinoe's family - her parents Hades and Persephone along with her brother Zagreus - seems to have gone missing. The trailer suggests that they have been abducted, or at the very least either Hades or Zagreus is being held captive by Chronos, the Titan of Time, and the primary antagonist of the game.
These abductions have come to create consequences that seem to have affected the whole Underworld itself in certain ways. In the previous game, Enemies in the Underworld were ordered to bar your way to stop Zagreus from leaving his home. This time around, the souls of the Underworld seem to have been affected negatively and seem to be attacking you not out of any command but almost instinctively. You'll also be able to shepherd some lost non-hostile souls as you journey from room to room as the princess of the Underworld.
Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Witchcraft, the Moon, the Night, and of Crossroads serves as Melinoe's mentor and trainer. While Zagreus was more of a warrior type in combat, Melinoe makes use of witchcraft and magic to burst through her Enemies, as per the teachings of her Headmistress. This isn't to say that she's limited to just casting magic spells, however, as she has a variety of Weapons to use.
Hades 2 Gameplay Mechanics
What are the Weapons in Hades 2
Just like in the previous game, Melinoe will have a couple of Weapons at her disposal to master, called the Nocturnal Arms. She starts out with a plain staff for players to get used to. If Zagreus in the previous game mostly used melee weapons but had a special bow in the mix, Melinoe would instead have mostly ranged weapons that specialize in magic, with a few melee options in the mix.
Melinoe's Nocturnal Arms are all unlockable in exchange for special in-game currency that the player will get to accumulate as you attempt to complete her task over and over again. Each one will have a different style in terms of their basic attacks and their charged attacks. Their different aspects can eventually be improved further whenever you pick up Deadalus' Hammer during your journey.
Casting Spells in Hades 2
New to this sequel game, you now have an additional resource meter to manage with Melinoe, called Magick. Magick is essentially this game's version of mana - this resource depletes itself whenever you cast spells outside of your basic attacks, and whenever you use your Nocturnal Arm's charged attack.
Magick provides an additional layer of difficulty and strategizing as you may want to save your magick for stronger waves that will eventually appear in the room. Magick replenishes itself after every room. However, within a room, you'll only have scraps that you can randomly pick up to replenish it. Certain Boons and upgrades may help your Magick management as you progress.
Hades 2 What are Boons from Gods and Goddesses
As you go through the game, you'll have to make decisions with regard to the rewards you'll get after clearing a room of all its Enemies or Bosses. Often times you can get a Boon as your reward. Boons are improvements you can get that can give you passive boosts, improve your attacks, enchant them with certain elements, and even change your entire build drastically.
Boons are given by the Greek Gods and Goddesses. The nature of Boons and the different bonuses they grant will be in line with what God or Goddess is granting them. Whenever it's possible to choose a Boon as your reward for clearing a room, you'll be able to see which of the pantheon will grant your reward based on the symbol in the orb.
