《黑帝斯II》（英语：Hades II）是由Supergiant Games开发并发行的Roguelike动作角色扮演游戏，为《黑帝斯》（2020）的续作，于2024年5月6日释出抢先体验版，并暂时在Windows上独占发行，此后正式发行时则将扩展至其他平台上。有别于以扎格柔斯为主角的前作，《黑帝斯II》改为讲述其妹妹——冥府公主墨利诺厄欲籍奥林匹斯十二主神的帮助，打败时间之神柯罗诺斯的故事。
游戏玩法
编辑如同前作一样，《黑帝斯II》亦是一款迷宫探索类动作角色扮演游戏[1][2]。故事时间设在阿特柔斯引发的一连串事件后[3][4]，他的妹妹兼冥府公主墨利诺厄[5]与其导师黑卡蒂一起[6]密谋刺杀时间之神柯罗诺斯[3]。游戏新增了一个只要墨利诺厄使用魔法便会消耗，但会在战斗开始时回满的“魔法条”（Magick Bar）[7]，而原有的每次玩家死亡后都能更强能力“上帝模式”（God Mode）也宣告回归[8]。
开发与发行
编辑2018年首先以抢先体验方式发布，并在两年后由Supergiant Games正式发行的《黑帝斯》尽管被广泛评为2020年最佳电子游戏之一[9]，但该作的首席编剧格雷格·卡萨文在2021年接受《新音乐快递》访问时称团队仍未做好推出续作的准备[10][11]。Supergiant普遍在完成一部作品之后会选定一个最为令他们振奋的项目，随后开始开发工作，但团队大部分人都认为希腊神话中尚有许多值得探索的故事和人物，使得续作计划变得可行[9]。这是Supergiant第一次打造续作，制作团队希望以有意义的方式延伸《黑帝斯》的故事，同时又不失原作的核心价值。工作室创办人兼总监阿米尔·拉奥（Amir Rao）表示《传送门2》与《暗黑破坏神II》两部成功续作是他们试图仿法的对象[9]。《黑帝斯II》的开发工作最终在2021年初开展[12]。
卡萨文表示团队在开发初期就决定不再让阿特柔斯担当主角，而他们亦加紧研究希腊神话，并偶然发现了奥菲斯教为数不多仍然留存的诗作《俄耳甫斯祷歌》，该诗讲述哈迪斯和珀耳塞福涅膝下除了有儿子阿特柔斯之外，还有一名叫墨利诺厄的女儿，但除此之外便没再多加叙述。《黑帝斯》中完全没有提及她，因而给了Supergiant撰写全新故事的契机。墨利诺厄的故事设定称她与希腊神界的魔法方有联系，魔法这一游戏机制凭此得以实现，以及加入暗月女神黑卡蒂为其魔法导师的设定[9]。
珍·齐继前作之后回任艺术总监[13]，达伦·科布亦再次操刀配乐[5]。已公布的配音阵容包括声演伊卡洛斯的阿萨·巴特菲尔德、艾米莉亚·泰勒（Amelia Tyler）为黑卡蒂献声[14]，而洛根·坎宁安则除了为柯罗诺斯配音之外，还再度声演哈迪斯等神话人物[15]。《黑帝斯II》的第一条预告片在2022年12月8日的游戏大奖颁奖典礼上首映[16]。并在两年后的4月进行技术试验，以为同年5月5日的抢先体验作准备[17][18][19]。该作的原声带在抢先体验的同一天于Supergiant的YouTube频道上公开[20]。
反应
编辑发行前
编辑当《黑帝斯II》的技术试验版释出后，《Paste》的伊利亚·冈萨雷斯（Elijah Gonzalez） 如此评论道：“《黑帝斯》将出色的表演、风趣幽默的对话与令人信服的角色塑造熔于一炉，而这些元素在它的后继之作中都能找到。我很喜欢《黑帝斯II》改进过后的游戏玩法，但最让我兴奋的是其角色与世界观建构”[21]。冈萨雷斯又认为虽然墨利诺厄的最初目的较扎格柔斯的更为明确，但也被自我怀疑和被视为救世主的压力拖垮，使得她成为一复杂且引人入胜的主人公[21]。Kotaku的艾莉莎·梅尔坎特（Alyssa Mercante）赞扬该作的角色设计十分性感，并称性感特质已与他们的神性融为一体[22]。Polygon的安娜·迪亚斯（Ana Diaz）则特别提到希腊神话中对性别的传统表达方式，以及《黑帝斯II》如何在延伸这一古希腊观念的同时，为玩家创造出一系列既聪明强大，又懂得施展巫术的神祇。尽管墨利诺厄不算是一位巫师，但由善施巫术的神抚养长大的经历仍使她具高强的法力，其背景中的战士身份也为游戏带来全新的体验[23]。《卫报》的派翠西亚·赫南德兹（Patricia Hernandez）就指出该作与其前作一样皆以在希腊神话中微不出道的人物为主角，显得两部作品跟艾米莉·威尔逊对《伊利亚德》和《奥德赛》的现代诠释具异曲同工之妙——“威尔逊的翻译本使得现今世人能以重新概念化的角度理解希腊神话，而《黑帝斯》系列则勇于在原有的记载上再开章节”。赫南德兹形容《黑帝斯II》中的“人际（或神际）关系戏剧”将该作从一款“扣人心弦的游戏”升格成一款“难以抗拒的游戏”[24]。
On the early access, Hernandez wrote, "even in its current unfinished state, it's evident I will be spending dozens of hours in Hades II" and that "many players will be drawn primarily to the frenetic combat: Supergiant Games fills the dungeons with mobs of creatures so imposing that Melinoë has to slow down time to survive them. [...] Others, meanwhile, will be smitten with the sequel's expanded cast of alluring characters".[24] Mitchell Saltzman of IGN rated the early access game a 9/10 despite it being "a work in progress" with missing or placeholder assets.[25] Saltzman wrote that "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game. Mel is awesome, the new tweaks to the combat and progression are excellent, and it's just unbelievably feature packed with twice the content of the first. [...] But even with all that it's currently missing, what's here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat".[25] Tyler Colp, for PC Gamer, also recommended the early access game and viewed the "current state as like playing part 1 of the full game; all the characters are fully voiced, the combat is already well-balanced, and several features are up and running. A few of the character portraits and environmental art look a little work-in-progress, but otherwise Hades 2 plays like a polished demo".[26] In contrast, in a separate review for Polygon, Diaz commented that players "super invested in the story and characters might want to wait" as many characters and story interactions haven't been added yet – "when Hades was in early access, the story changed a lot throughout the development timeline. If you want a fully realized story, and don't want to be around for the process of the team figuring it out, then early access might not be for you".[27]
