Quick text summary

Hades scored 87/100 on Steam Analyser — Excellent for a Action Roguelike capsule. Top priority fix: [contrast_color] Brighten or add a subtle dark vignette halo behind the character to better separate the protagonist silhouette from the similarly valued serpent bodies and background at tiny size.

Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Brighten or add a subtle dark vignette halo behind the character to better separate the protagonist silhouette from the similarly valued serpent bodies and background at tiny size.
  2. [composition] Pull the flanking monster heads slightly inward from the upper frame edges to improve crop resilience across Steam's various display contexts.
  3. [contrast_color] Increase the saturation or brightness of the purple monster eye accents so they register as a visible complementary color pop at small and tiny sizes.
  4. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a very subtle atmospheric particle or ember effect in the foreground at full size to reinforce the underworld dungeon environment without adding clutter at small sizes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add a line explaining the core meta-loop: 'Each failed escape strengthens you permanently—explore new god boons, upgrade your weaponry, and uncover more story with every run.'
  2. [genre_clarity] Expand on weapon variety in the UNLEASH section: replace or extend 'mythic weapons' with explicit mention of multiple weapon types (e.g., 'wield six unique mythic weapons, each with distinct playstyles') to compete with combat-focused roguelikes.
  3. [uniqueness] Add a differentiator line after the Supergiant comparison: 'Only Hades gives you story progression that evolves with every playthrough, rewarding both exploration and mastery.'
