Pros & Cons
Pros
Hades is a roguelike dungeon crawler. The game is an isometric view hack-n-slash brawler that's also a rouge-like.
The voice work is just phenomenal and the characters are very relatable and charming. The graphics are wonderful and the storyline is superb. It's not an awesome story like last of us or persona etc, but it's not bad. It tells great tales but imo this... Read More
The artwork is outstanding and emthralling. The game's soundtrack is also excellent, and it perfectly complements the game's atmosphere. It sounds like i’m in the set of aladdin.

Price
The game itself is totally worth the full price.
Literally every major retailer (gamestop, wal-mart, target) is has this in stock and is selling it for retail price, $34.
For the price, it's worth a try because i found it very enjoyable.
Maybe not the best switch game but for 20 dollars not bad at all
Packaging/appearance
Came in perfect condition and one hell of a game
The box contains a game cartridge, a code to download the soundtrack online, and a compendium of the in-game characters.
The hardware itself is very straightforward the box the game card and to my surprise it came with two booklets one for download... Read More
It came with a small pamphlet with the characters and soundtrack download code.
Competitiveness
