| Short DescriptionSHORT DESCRIPTION
You find yourself |
| in on an overgrown mountain pass. You are equipped with a melee-weapon and an |
| intriguing ominous mask which gives you unique abilities and bonuses. The only way forward is to jump down into the misty |
| depthsabyss. Once you land on something stable, you start to see |
| walkable paths and traversable gaps within the foggy darkness. Enemies and platforming challenges will be scattered along the path you take. Once you get to a larger area, numerous enemies will await you. Defeating all enemies with your abilities and combo attacks will reward you with a powerful item that will help you in the quest to reach the grounds of the abyss. The deeper you go, the better your rewards will become. But be careful! As you go deeper, the more dangerous the world around you becomes. Whenever you die you lose all your temporary progress. You will be able to improve your mask with all the items you collected throughout the run to make you stronger for your next jump into the abyss. Afterwards you will wake up in your base, where you will be able to choose new masks for your adventures, buy new upgrades for yourself or the game world, refine your combat expertise in the training ground or just loosen up and enjoy being safe until your next attempt to reach the heart of the void.

| Du befindest dich in einem alten verwucherten Gebirgsriss wieder. Du bist ausgerüstet mit einer Nahkampfwaffe und einer faszinierenden Maske, welche dir einzigartige Fähigkeiten und Boni gibt. Der einzige Weg nach vorne, ist ein weiter Sprung in die nebeligen Tiefen. Sobald du landest kannst du durch den Nebel in der Dunkelheit zahlreiche begehbare Flächen erkennen. Monster und Herausforderungen werden entlang des Weges auf dich lauern. Sobald du ein größeres Gebiet erreichst erwarten dich eine große Anzahl an Monstern. Besiege alle Monster mit deinen Fähigkeiten und Angriffskombinationen und werde mit mächtigen Gegenständen, die dir in deiner Suche nach dem Ende des Abgrunds helfen werden, belohnt. Je tiefer du gehst, desto besser werden die Belohnungen. Doch pass auf! Je tiefer du gehst, desto gefährlicher wird die Welt um dich herum. Jedes Mal wenn du stirbst verlierst du all deinen temporären Fortschritt. Du wirst in der Lage sein deine Maske mit den gesammelten Gegenständen für deinen nächsten Sprung in die Tiefe zu verbessern. Anschließend wachst du in deinem Hauptstützpunkt wieder auf. Dort hast du die Möglichkeit eine neue Maske für deine Abenteuer auszusuchen, neue Verbesserung für dich selber oder innerhalb der Spielwelt zu kaufen, deine Kampfexpertise im Übungsgelände weiterzuentwickeln oder einfach nur zu entspannen bis du den nächsten Versuch wagst den Mittelpunkt der Leere zu erreichen. |

| Steam Description Excerpt:SURVIVE AN ALIEN PLANET Over a dozen handcrafted locales await, each packed with challenging monsters and enormous bosses that oppose your continued existence. Fight your way to the final boss and escape or continue your run indefinitely to see just how long you can survive. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game.
DISCOVER POWERFUL NEW ITEMS More than 110 items keep each run fresh and full of new challenge. The more items you collect, the more their effects combine, the more surprising some of those combinations might be. The more items you encounter, the more lore (and strategy) you’ll discover through the logs.
UNLOCK NEW WAYS TO PLAY Unlock a crew of ten playable survivors, each with their own unique combat style and alternate skills to master. Learn the secrets of the Artifacts to toggle gameplay modifiers like friendly fire, random survivor spawns, item selection and more. With randomized stages, enemies, and items, no run will ever be the same. |

| Steam Description Excerpt:Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant's critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre. BATTLE OUT OF HELL As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt. UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go. BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE Permanent upgrades mean you don't have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test. |
