Fun things I just realized:

You kind of do the reverse of a typical dungeon crawl, starting in the lowest depths of hell and finishing up by fighting rats and gaining treasure.

Your weapons are all under a pomegranate tree.

Edit: thing I've known for a while but just ran into again playing, Artemis commits the horrible error of being horny on main.

The night material description openly says that you're bound to the underworld the mpre of it you have in you.

I think I won the game for the first time on like my 40th run? Now I'm pretty consistent.

Weirdly, there was an Ouya exclusive game with a broadly similar concept.

Zeus shield rules, I can report. Boost that sucker up a bit and then put a good special on it and watch everything melt.

ahahaha, I picked Dionysus over Artemis in a god duel and Dio cheerfully went "Wow, you're in trouble now man!"

I like that in terms of boon choice, Posideon is your fun bro uncle who also doesn't understand anything outside of his scope of interest so at a certain point he just hands you 20 bucks and tells you to have fun by yourself.

God I need to look up exactly what I had but my favorite run so far was Poseidon dash + double knockback + rupture + double damage against bosses + duo boon with zeus that makes lightning hit whoever you knock back + jolted + duo boon with demeter that means jolted keeps going for 10 seconds.

Things just...melted after I ran into them.

Someone in this thread introduced me to the strategy of picking god trinkets after Tartarus to basically seal in whatever god you want, which I like since I've been burned before.

I'm deliberately failing the Erebus challenges to get more onions. Deliberately, I say!

Also in terms of 'other things they could add to the game" one of Nyx's other kids is Nemesis, who punishes hubris. Tons of potential there!

Although I'm not sure if Zagreus could actually be hubristic, seeing as he is literally a god.

edit: also as a tip for the mouse/keyboard people, I rebound my special to my mouse and oh my god the difference in all weapons is extremely good.

One of my favorite bits is when you're chatting with achillies and he's like "yeah I'm guessing you're the god of blood probably? You've got the stones, you bleed red, eh I dunno."

Best Dusa call is her going "PLEASE DON'T BE MAD!" if you summon her against Meg

I still lol that Zag can get a pinup poster of his naked aunt on his wall

they're greek gods. there's a dialogue bit with Achilles where Zag asks him how he should feel about the threesome and Achilles basically shrugs and goes "you're all immortal deities you do you"

edit: Artemis's growing Zag-lust will always be funny to me especially in that one bit when Aphrodite shows up and Artemis freaks out trying to figure out how she tracked her and the literal goddess of love just says 'yes hmmm how did I the goddess of love find you here so mysterious'
