Hades II System Requirements and Recommended specs

The original Hades was a breath of fresh air for those who needed a timeless, isometric, difficult, and surprisingly thought-provoking roguelike. As you might expect Hades II has continued in much the same way, with the early-access version already amassing some impressive numbers.

So, given the popularity, you’re probably keen to give it a go and you’ve found yourself here in search of the system requirements and recommended specs, so let’s take a look.

Can I run Hades II too?

Given the refreshingly undemanding minimum and recommended system requirements, you’re almost certainly fine.

This is understandable given that Hades II, much like the original, is not a dazzling spectacle of ray-tracing, real-time destructible environments, or other standard AAA game fare.

Like many indie games, the emphasis on stylization over photoreal graphics has the positive side-effect of making the game far more accessible to those with aging machines. Of course, given that the game is in early access, specific CPUs might be designated later, but describing the CPU necessities with clock speeds mean that the system requirements are not likely to drastically change by the time full-release rolls around.

So, you’re unlikely to need any hardware upgrades for Hades II, but a few peripheral upgrades are on the cards to make sure you’re experiencing the dungeons as best as you can.

A precise keyboard like the K70 MAX, a fidelity-forward headset such as the HS80 MAX, and perhaps a gaming mouse with plentiful buttons such as the SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS are all fine upgrades for a game such as Hades II.

What kind of game is Hades II?

It’s a roguelike. What this means that that it’s an RPG where dungeon-crawling through procedurally-generated levels is the name of the game. But the gameplay itself is simplistic, yet finely tuned. This results in the ability to crank the difficulty, while keeping it fair.
