Hades Mobile launch date + great games on sale & a large MiniReview update

Morning’! Here’s a quick quiz for you: The Fall Guys-inspired platformer “Eggy Party” launched in the Western markets this year. But guess how much it has earned in China? (the answer is at the end of this email).

In today’s newsletter: Hades announces its global launch date, MiniReview receives a major update some truly amazing games go on sale (including Dead Cells!), and a new adventure RPG scores 8.8 on MiniReview!

🎮 Top Story: Hades announces its official global launch date on iOS courtesy of Netflix

Hades is one of the highest-rated roguelike dungeon crawlers on Steam (with over 200k reviews), and it’s now coming to mobile on March 19th, 2024!

Great news, right? Well, yes, if you’re on iOS and you have a Netflix subscription, because the game will be both platform and subscription-exclusive.

Still, this marks an impressive feat for the mobile market. Hades’ hack-and-slash gameplay is extremely fast-paced, and just a few years ago, nobody would have dared guess the game would run and control well on mobile.

Things are changing fast, and although Hades will be exclusive, I’m very optimistic that we’ll continue getting more and more amazing PC-quality games on mobile throughout 2024 and beyond.
