7 Games Like Hades With Cloud Gaming Options

Looking for games like Hades? These seven alternatives offer different combinations of repeatable runs, expressive combat and lasting progression. Some move into side-scrolling platforming, while others make room for a story or co-op. Each has a positive PC cloud catalog entry in our 27 October 2026 check.

1. Dead Cells — fast side-scrolling combat

Dead Cells turns the repeat-run appeal into a side-scrolling action-platformer. Exploring a changing castle and learning its enemies make each attempt feel purposeful. Choose it if you want responsive combat and new routes, rather than another game with Hades’ particular storytelling structure.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam / Epic) · Boosteroid (Steam / check store). View Dead Cells listings.

2. Curse of the Dead Gods — dangerous temple runs

Curse of the Dead Gods sends you through a hostile temple of traps, monsters and tempting rewards. It is a strong fit when you want another action roguelike built around risky decisions. Its cursed setting gives the journey a darker, more oppressive identity.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam / Epic) · Boosteroid (Steam; install-to-play). View Curse of the Dead Gods listings.

3. Ravenswatch — folk-tale heroes and co-op

Ravenswatch brings heroes from familiar folk tales into a world threatened by nightmares. Different characters give you a reason to rethink your approach between runs. Pick it when you want an action roguelike that can also become a shared online adventure.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Ravenswatch listings.

The game supports online co-op; confirm invitations and each player’s account requirements with the provider.

4. Children of Morta — a family story between battles

Children of Morta follows the Bergson family as they face a spreading corruption. Its appeal is the connection between action and the people returning home afterwards. Choose it if character relationships and a sense of family matter as much as the next fight.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam) · Boosteroid (Steam). View Children of Morta listings.

5. Skul: The Hero Slayer — a different platforming perspective

Skul puts a small skeleton at the centre of an action-platforming rescue mission. It is a good change of perspective when you want another demanding roguelite without repeating an isometric view. The contrast between its unlikely hero and formidable opponents gives it personality.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Skul: The Hero Slayer listings.

6. Have a Nice Death — dark workplace humour

Have a Nice Death casts you as an overworked Death trying to restore order among unruly employees. Its 2D action makes it a different physical experience from Hades, while the macabre workplace premise offers another way to mix supernatural combat with humour.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam / check store). View Have a Nice Death listings.

7. Ember Knights — a lively group option

Ember Knights combines action runs with weapons, skills and relic combinations. It is especially worth considering when your next roguelite needs to suit a group as well as solo evenings. The focus is building useful combinations while taking on the sorcerer Praxis’ forces.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Ember Knights listings.

The PC game supports up to four players. Cloud support for your intended multiplayer arrangement must be checked separately.

Which should you try first?

Start with Curse of the Dead Gods for another run through dangerous rooms, Dead Cells for side-scrolling action, or Children of Morta for a stronger family story. Ravenswatch and Ember Knights deserve a look if playing with friends matters most.
