      Not at all like hades. Outside them both being isometric.. hades does not have a game world that is at all focused on exploration. Deaths Door having a more linear narrative that guides you through the game world while Hades, being a rogue-type game, is sorta the opposite of that, where it is your progress forward in the game world that results in progression through its narrative. The two titles have almost nothing in common past the possible illusion you may get at first glance seeing the isometric camera angle. Both games are gems though!

      Probably because of regional pricing. In my country (Canada) the Steam price is 23$, on the Switch it's 26.50$. I can't really compare with Colombia because I know that the price is quite intense (also Brasil). There is also the Switch Tax to consider.

    Try not to speak for everyone because that was not a good way to start this video at all. Just because a clone of an original game looks "bad" because of the same design and gameply and doesn't "capture what this game can originally do" doesn't mean everyone will be a sheep and automatically hate it. Some will like it some won't. It's simple. Implementing new ideas to a game isn't easy since another company could be using the same idea without knowing. For example I hate Dark Souls games a lot, but they all play the exact same with only just a few new things for each installment which the fans don't mind. How many 2D Super Mario games were made from the last to now that were exactly the same, but introduce a few new stuff? A lot. As long as a game is fun to the player then it literally doesn't matter how "bad" or good it is. Anyway I already have this game on the Playstation and it's a fun one.

    I can never finish these type of indie games because I get bored and play something else. They just feel empty and copy-pasted. I prefer the lower budget indie games to be short and sweet, like Toree 3D or A Short Hike. Just my opinion.

    The first thing you get to fight in the game is a boss and it's too difficult to avoid and you only have low health so no chance, avoid this game

    It looks pretty drab and ugly looking, could do with more colours
