After a great deal of support and feedback from our community, Hades exited Early Access development this fall, and has become our most popular, most highly acclaimed game yet! If you've enjoyed your time with it, and feel Hades stands out even among the many fantastic games released this year, then please consider nominating it in the Steam Awards for the year's top honors: Game of the Year.
You can only nominate Hades in a single category, so if it's not your Steam Game of the Year pick, we would be grateful if you considered it in other categories, such as Outstanding Story-Rich Game, Best Soundtrack, or Outstanding Visual Style.
When we first envisioned Hades, we were drawn by the idea of creating a rogue-like / rogue-lite game with rich atmosphere and storytelling, that could create a unique experience for you every time you attempted to battle your way out of hell. Your support in Early Access meant we were able to make this game much bigger and better than we could have on our own. It's already been nominated for eight awards in The Game Awards (including Game of the Year!), earned Critics Choice Game of the Year and Best Indie Game in the 2020 Golden Joystick Awards, and most recently been named TIME Magazine's #1 Game of 2020!
We are honored to have earned that recognition. Yet, the Steam Awards are uniquely meaningful to us, as longtime Steam users ourselves. We know you have many excellent games to choose from. So, having your vote would mean an awful lot. Thank you for your consideration.
