“Let me start this by saying that I haven't played Hades so I can't compare, but having played Sworn I can tell you that if Hades plays anything like Sworn, and if it had co-op - I would get it without hesitation. So…”
“This game has been a blast, very fun top down roguelite, relatively balance characters, fun randomisations and perks/unlocks. Was fully encompassed for a few weeks. I did play 95% games with a co-op friend, little to no…”
“Good game, played through with a friend but basically a bar for bar copy of Hades minus a handful of differences and not nearly as polished or well balanced. However, being able to play this in coop plus the different…”

“This game is missing two, critical features: 1. The ability to save progress and continue a solo run at another time. 2. Enabling reconnection in multiplayer. Feels really frustrating to be almost an hour into a run on…”
“It's like a really clunky Hades. If you ever thought, "I love Hades, but I really want it to feel slightly off all the time." This game is for you.”
“tons of positive reviews with a few hours that likely didn't make it past the first difficulty or two, but the more you play the more this game shows just how bad it is. They keep repeatedly updating the flow of the…”

“This game lacks the ability to join after being disconnected. Had the best run I've ever had to be soured by a random disconnect. This truly has put a sour taste in my mouth. Genuinely ruined my night. UPDATE: Day 2,…”

“I'll make it positive when you let us rejoin after disconnecting. Year 2026 and people still making games that you can not join back. You will not have a smooth gameplay with your friends I assure. Everyone I know that…”

“Definitely inspired from Hades, thus I decided to get this game in order to quench my thirst for playing more Hades. I was quite reluctant when I first booted up the game, however it managed to suck me in for the first…”

“As Hades does not have co-op, this game let's me scratch an itch. Playing with friends is quite enjoyable. It's hard at first, but you and your friends will make progress quickly once you've figured out what works and…”

“This game is lacking balance to a level that is unacceptable. This is my style of game. I play tons of these, and run Hades and Hades 2 on super difficulty regularly. Runs on the lowest difficulty should not be so dumb…”

“Maybe you will like it if you've never played Hades or Hades II. To me this game has so much potential but falls short on the mechanics and imbalanced damage. I bet it's possible to learn how to dodge everything and…”

“I got Sworn in a Humble Bundle, which is basically the gaming equivalent of opening a mystery can from your food storage and hoping it’s chili and not peaches. I installed it with zero expectations, zero hype, and honestly zero idea what the game even was. After playing for a…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Very much so "Hades at home", 90% of the game feels like a copy paste where something was lost in translation. A few mechanics are better, like the Co-op, the classes/weapon variety, but nearly everything else is just inferior. That said hades is still such a high bar that…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“This game is meant to be played co-op, but co-op isn't fun when the multiplayer networking randomly can drop and, most importantly, they did not bother to implement any way to rejoin a match. Think you are having a good run with some friends? Nope, a player lost connection and…”
