Hades 2 x Tony Hawk’s Underground is the Game You’ve Always Needed in Helskate

Ever since it first entered Early Access on Steam, Helskate has continued to enamor fans of Tony Hawk games and Hades 2 with a premise that is as bonkers as it can get in gaming: ******, skate, ****, repeat.

With the ongoing Steam Summer ***** and the devs firmly sticking by its roadmap, now may be the best time to get your hands on the game and skate your way through an arcadey hellscape while facing off against the Gods of Skating.

If You’re a Fan of Hades 2 or Tony Hawk’s Underground, Then Helskate Is the Game for You

If you find yourself wanting a break from the endless runs of Hades 2 or practicing different moves in the Tony Hawk titles, then give Helskate a shot.

Combining Supergiant’s rogue-like design philosophy, which they are now masters of, with Tony Hawk‘s Underground’s gameplay mechanics, it is a perfect game concept that continues to attract players who want to try something new.

The game currently has an 84% positive rating on Steam, indicating that the devs are doing something right with it. The reviews, too, echo this sentiment, showering praise on the game and how committed the devs are to improving the game and adding more elements to it.

One of the best parts about it is that it is also the perfect game to play on the go. If you own a Steam Deck, it’s a must-have, as nothing beats pulling it out, slapping a few moves, slaying a few enemies, and then returning to whatever you’ve been doing. It can sit right alongside Hades 2 in your library.

So, Helskate Sounds Like a Great Concept for a Game, but What Does It Actually Play Like?

Set within the city of Vertheim, your task is pretty simple – pull off different moves to power up your attacks and slay all enemies that come your way. More importantly, unlike Hades 2, it won’t demand 100% of your attention and is, in reality, quite a laidback and fun experience.

But for people looking for something a little more *********, the skating moveset isn’t shallow either, as the game expects you to pull off grinds, ollies, flips, and so much more to make it all work. Once you get the hang of it, it’s up to you and your creativity to flex the system’s muscles.

The rogue-like mechanics are pretty neat, too, as the game requires you to combine different weapons, gear, and tapes to develop the best possible builds. There are also permanent upgrades in the form of tattoos—yes, your upgrades come in the form of your character getting inked up.

Lastly, the aesthetics are completely harmonious with the game’s overall themes and design, tying the whole package up like a Christmas gift. So, check out the
