OpenCritic’s eight include DualShockers 7.5, TheSixthAxis 7, The Games Machine 7.3, ZTGD 7, TheBigBois 8.5, NoobFeed 65, Gamesource Italia 7.5 and Console-Tribe 83. Metacritic does not show a metascore: the critic count is under four on each platform tab. I will not write “Metacritic 72.” Steam’s 82% is the English set, not every language. The recent 59% is a different sentence and stays visible.
Is it worth buying?
Rogueliker’s review says the game follows the Hades script and gets the Arthurian setting right, with co-op as the real difference. PlayCritically calls the story thin. If you want four-player online runs, the co-op page matters more than the score: there is no couch mode. Price on the check date is on platforms. v1.2’s Boss Rush is the update those later guides are written against.
