While nothing revolutionary, it's a clever remix of existing systems. Some of the cult, mercenary and big story villains get a second lease of (un)life here too, via a reworked mercenary system. As well as kicking the god of death's dog (you monster), you'll be tracking down and brutalising a bunch of dead heroes in order to convince them to fill in for the pummelled pup. There's also an increased focus on boss fights here. It's still sneaky-stabby AC action, but with a fun supernatural twist, and an excuse to use another three super-powers, which replace normal skills, but can be toggled off if wanted. It also encourages stealth, as if you get spotted before getting to the rift, you'll be hunted by invulnerable ghosts until you activate one. Activating one lets you beat up ghosts, at the cost of halving your maximum health, making for some interesting challenge missions. All those characters that you murdered in the main game are here, and largely unhappy.Ī large chunk of this DLC is dedicated to following in Kratos's footsteps, hunting unruly, incorporeal dead folks via the Tartarus Rifts. This rather grubbier, more torment-focused layer of the underworld is the polar opposite of the glorious floral blooms of Elysium, and reminds me a bit of Hell from Doom 2016, only a bit more personal. As with the previous expansion, you're off to an entirely fresh and surprisingly large environment. While I hope to make time to hack through hell itself this weekend (assuming I can get my next mod column finished early), Alice Mk.3's video below should give you an idea of what to expect. Below, a story trailer and Alice Liguori's video report on the underworld. Turns out that Hades doesn't appreciate strangers doing a Kratos on his pets, and presses you into his service. Continuing the story arc kicked off in Fields Of Elysium back in April, Kassandra (or Alexios) is headed down to the underworld, which means going through its three-headed, fire-breathing guard dog. Remember when folks wanted all the supernatural stuff axed from Assassin's Creed? Thanks to expansions like Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Torment Of Hades, which launched today, they're a bit quieter now.
