Who Is Hades?

Before moving on to the game review, I would like to talk a little about Hades' real identity. Of course, anyone with a little interest in mythology will know who he is when they see Hades, but it is still worth talking about him. Because he is the darkest god of the underworld, in other words the god who rules the dead. While sharing the earth with his brothers, the underworld fell to Hades, and he became the god of the land of the dead. His wife is Persephone, the daughter of Zeus. Hades is depicted in many places with a helm of invisibility and his three-headed dog. The land of the dead is guarded by Hades' fearsome three-headed dog Cerberus. We also saw this three-headed dog in the first installment of Harry Potter, a film series we all know and love. If you think about it a bit, you will remember. Anyway, let us continue our story. Hades does not get along with his other brothers on Olympus. The biggest sign of this is that one day his brother Poseidon plants his spear in the ground, and with his planting of the spear, Hades' underworld emerges. Angered by this, Hades makes a counterattack plan with the army of the dead he built himself. That is the answer to the question of who Hades is…

Hades Game Review: What Are Its Similarities to Mythology?

Almost every element found in mythology is in the game. Gods, mythological creatures… In particular, it is possible to see nearly all the gods and goddesses we know in Hades. Hades, Nyx, Persephone, Achilles, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Artemis, Ares and Dionysus are only some of them. Our main character Zagreus fights these gods and goddesses from time to time. Also, the gods and goddesses in Hades are stylized in a way unique to the game. It is also possible to see Hades' three-headed dog Cerberus in the game. But unlike the story in mythology, Cerberus can stay calm when you pet his head. Hades is a game that can be played not only by gamers but also by people interested in mythology. With its extremely broad script and sound effects, it is one of the games that must be played.
