While Hades 2 is available in early access nowyou can play the original award-winning roguelike game Hades Netflix games. This means that if you have Netflix subscription (which starts from $7 per month) you can play Hades before the sequel, Hades 2, is released to the general public. However, developer Supergiant Games has said that the original will be exclusive to iOS and iPadOS, as the studio is more familiar with those operating systems – sorry, Android fans.
Supergiant Games originally released Hades in 2018 to near universal acclaim. The title won various awards, including Game of the Year and Action Game of the Year 24th Annual DICE Awards. It also made history as the first (and so far only) game to win a Hugo Award — an accolade usually given to science fiction and fantasy literary works, but created a special category for video games in 2021.
In Hades, you play as Zagreus, the mythological son of Hades, as he tries to escape the underworld and reach Mount Olympus. And since it’s a cheat game, you’ll face a different set of challenges every time you play. This unpredictability makes roguelike games especially difficult, but Kasavin said that’s what makes them enjoyable.
“The real fun of roguelike games is starting over,” Kasavin said. “If you get too angry or upset when you die… you’re missing out on what’s so special about the genre.”
As you play the game, you learn how to overcome different enemies, but you also learn more about the different characters you meet and the world. You’ll meet mythical characters like Achilles and Patroclus — who are very much in love — and Sisyphus, who affectionately calls the stone he’s chained to Boldi.
Each god-like figure becomes more basic with each interaction, ultimately revealing them to be more human than they’d probably care to admit. So while the gameplay of Hades is addictive, these interactions between the series are where the title really shines.
If you’ve watched the Netflix mythological series The blood of Zeus and you were hoping for Easter eggs in Hades, you’ll be disappointed. Kasavin said the Supergiant Games team’s priority is to ensure the title works well on iOS and iPadOS without adding content beyond what’s already in the game.
“With the game being as well received as it is, we didn’t want to mess with it too much,” Kasavin said. “The really big investment was trying to make it as efficient and smooth as possible, and making sure the controls felt as good as possible on mobile.”
The cellphone’s touchscreen controls feel pretty good, but I’m glad it supports Bluetooth controllers. With the touchscreen controls, I lose track of where my left thumb – which normally controls the character’s movement – is on the screen during crucial moments in the game. I ran into this problem playing Hades, but less times than usual, which is a plus. As soon as I connected a Bluetooth controller, this problem disappeared and I hacked and hacked my way through rooms full of enemies.
Here’s how to get Hades on Netflix Games
1. Download the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Open the Netflix app and sign in to your account.
3. Tap the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the screen.
4. Type Hades in the search bar.

An additional pop-up from the Apple App Store opens asking you if you want to download Hades. After you confirm this action, the game starts downloading to your device, like other applications.
