Games like Hades on mobile
By the Lootero team. Published .
Hades isn't on phones anymore. Supergiant Games brought it to iPhone and iPad through Netflix in March 2024, it never came to Android, and it left Netflix in July 2025 when the license ran out. Hades II is out on PC, Mac, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, and we found no version of it on the App Store or Google Play. If you want that kind of game on your phone today, you need something else, and below are the ones we would pick.
Hades is what people call a roguelite: every attempt, or run, starts over from the beginning, but you keep some upgrades when you die. You fight your way out of the underworld, and on the way the gods of Olympus offer you boons, where you choose one of three powers and it lasts for the rest of the run. When you die, you go back to the House of Hades, spend what you brought home on upgrades that stay, and the story moves on through the people you talk to there. We looked for games with quick, tough fights and a run that changes with your choices, plus some progress you keep when you die. One pick is here for the story instead, and we say so on its card. Every card says what you pay, except ours, which has no price yet. Two of the games are on iPhone only, and the last card is Lootero, the game we are making.
Short answer
- Closest to Hades, with a family home and a story between runs: Children of Morta, $6.99.
- Fast fights built on spell combos, paid once: Wizard of Legend, $7.99.
- First floor free, with dodge rolls and bullets everywhere: Enter the Gungeon, $6.99 for the full game.
- The fighting we like best, in a side-scrolling game: Dead Cells, $8.99, with expansions sold on top.
- Free, with simple controls that turn a few taps into big combos: Otherworld Legends, which has ads and in-app purchases.
- The cheapest to buy outright, with a family line that grows stronger after every death: Rogue Legacy, $3.99, iPhone only.
- For the story and the narrator rather than the runs: Bastion, the first game from the studio behind Hades, free to start and $4.99 for the full game, iPhone only.
Children of Morta
- Made by
- Dead Mage, published on phones by Playdigious
- On phones
- 2024
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- $6.99 on the US App Store, paid once (both expansions included)
Why you might like it
Children of Morta is the game on this list that feels most like Hades between the fights. You play the Bergsons, a family who guard Mount Morta from an evil called the Corruption, and after every run you come back to the family home, where the story moves on and new conversations open up. The dungeons change every run, and the fights are close-up brawls against crowds of enemies and bosses.
How it differs from Hades
You don't play one hero. You switch between seven members of the family, each with their own way of fighting, and when one of them levels up, the rest of the family gets stronger too. Two players can team up online by sharing a code. It costs $6.99 on the US App Store, with both expansions included and no in-app purchases listed there. On Google Play it costs $6.49, and that listing says it has in-app purchases, though it doesn't show what they are. Pocket Gamer gave it 9 out of 10, with one honest warning: on a touch screen, you can sometimes attack by accident when you only meant to move or aim at one enemy.
Wizard of Legend
- Made by
- Contingent99, published by Balor Games (formerly Humble Games)
- On phones
- 2023
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- $7.99 on the US App Store, paid once
Why you might like it
If what you loved in Hades was how quick and sharp the fighting felt, try Wizard of Legend. You fight through a magic contest called the Chaos Trials with over 100 spells and relics, and the fun is in chaining spells into combinations that suit you. It rewards quick movement, and every dungeon is laid out differently.
How it differs from Hades
There is very little story, only the contest as a setup, so the game is mostly about getting better at fighting. What you keep between runs are Chaos Gems, which you spend before the next run on new spells, relics and robes. You pay $7.99 once on the US App Store, and the listing shows no in-app purchases. A friend can join you on the same Wi-Fi, in co-op or fighting each other, and there are aim assist options for touch screens and full controller support.
Enter the Gungeon
- Made by
- Dodge Roll, published by Devolver Digital
- On phones
- 2025
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- Free to try, then one purchase for the full game ($6.99 on the US App Store)
Why you might like it
Like Hades, Enter the Gungeon has you fight floor by floor toward one goal. A band of misfits heads down through the Gungeon to find a legendary gun that is said to be able to kill the past, and each of them wants it to put right something they did. On the way you dodge roll through bullets, flip tables for cover and buy items from shopkeepers.
How it differs from Hades
It is a shooter, and the rooms fill up with bullets, so dodging is most of the game. The first floor is free to play as often as you like, and one purchase of $6.99 on the US App Store buys the rest of the game. The listing says you can also team up with a friend in co-op. We wrote more about it in our list of games like Soul Knight on mobile.
Dead Cells
- Made by
- Motion Twin (later updates by Evil Empire), published on phones by Playdigious
- On phones
- 2019 (iPhone), 2020 (Android)
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- $8.99 on the US App Store, paid once (expansions extra)
Why you might like it
Dead Cells is the one we would pick for the fighting alone. You play a failed alchemy experiment in a castle that changes every time you go in, with a big pile of weapons and skills to learn. The runes you win from elite enemies stay with you, and they open new paths through the castle on later runs.
How it differs from Hades
It is a 2D action platformer seen from the side, so you jump between platforms as well as fight. It costs $8.99 on the US App Store, and four expansions are sold on top: Return to Castlevania for $6.99, and The Queen and the Sea, Fatal Falls and The Bad Seed for $3.99 each.
Otherworld Legends
- Made by
- ChillyRoom
- On phones
- 2020
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- Free, with ads and in-app purchases
Why you might like it
Otherworld Legends is free and drawn in pixel art. You pick a hero, such as an archer or a kung fu master, each with their own way of fighting, and the controls make big combos easy with a few taps. You mix the items you find into a build, and the dungeons change every run, with secret rooms and hidden shops.
How it differs from Hades
It is free, and both the App Store and Google Play say it contains ads. It also sells heroes, in-game currency and bundles; the top in-app purchases on the US App Store cost from $0.99 to $3.99. The listings don't say how far you can get without paying. Up to four friends can team up online, and the listing promises offline play when you are on your own.
Rogue Legacy
- Made by
- Cellar Door Games
- On phones
- 2019
- Platforms
- iPhone and iPad
- Price
- $3.99 on the US App Store, paid once
Why you might like it
Rogue Legacy is about the part of Hades where dying still moves you forward. Each time your hero dies, one of their children takes over, and each child has their own traits, like being colorblind, which turns the game black and white. The gold you bring out pays for upgrades to the family manor, so every heir starts a little stronger.
How it differs from Hades
It is a platform game, so you run and jump through a castle that changes with every life. Before you go back in, you hand your leftover gold to a gatekeeper called Charon, so it pays to spend it first. It costs $3.99 on the US App Store, the lowest up-front price on this list, and it lists no in-app purchases. It is on iPhone and iPad only. The listing hasn't been updated since May 2021 and asks for iOS 11 or later, and we haven't tested how it runs on the newest iPhones.
Bastion
- Made by
- Supergiant Games
- On phones
- 2012
- Platforms
- iPhone and iPad
- Price
- Free to try, then $4.99 for the full game on the US App Store
Why you might like it
Bastion was Supergiant Games' first game, years before Hades. A narrator tells the story as you play and comments on what you do, down to how you handle each weapon. You carry two weapons at a time, picked from more than 10, and you improve them at the Bastion, the hub you return to between levels.
How it differs from Hades
Bastion doesn't play like Hades. It is an action game with one story from start to end, so you play its levels in order instead of starting new runs. We put it on this list for anyone who loved Hades more for its story and its narrator than for its runs. You can play the beginning for free, and the full game is one purchase of $4.99 on the US App Store. It is on iPhone and iPad only; we didn't find it on Google Play.
Lootero
Our game- Made by
- Lootero (that is us)
- On phones
- Coming November 2026 (not out yet)
- Platforms
- iPhone, Android
- Price
- Not announced yet
Why you might like it
Lootero is our game, so read this card as our own pitch. You play a young archer on floating islands. Each island is split into areas, and you spend the coins you earn to open the next one; some areas trap you until you beat the waves of monsters inside. Every level-up deals you three upgrade cards, and after every second fight a Norse god appears at a shrine and offers you three of their own powers to choose from.
How it differs from Hades
You play one world at a time, and each of the 55 worlds ends with a boss you summon when you are ready. If you fall before you win, you start that world again: the island has the same shape, the cards you are dealt change, and the hero experience you earned stays. Each hero level gives you a point to spend on upgrades for fighting, gathering resources or staying alive. It is single-player, it has no co-op, and you can't play it until it comes to iPhone and Android in November 2026.
Can you play Hades on mobile?
You can't play Hades on a phone anymore. It came out on iPhone and iPad on 19 March 2024 as a Netflix game, so you needed a Netflix subscription to play it, and it left Netflix in July 2025. Netflix has said that games leave its service when their licenses expire, as films and series do. When we searched the App Store for Hades on 29 October 2026, Supergiant's game wasn't there.
Is Hades on Android?
Hades never came out on Android. Even in Netflix's list of the games leaving in July 2025, it was marked as only available on iOS devices. If you play on Android, Children of Morta, Wizard of Legend, Enter the Gungeon, Dead Cells and Otherworld Legends are all on Google Play.
Is there a Hades II mobile version?
Hades II hasn't come to phones so far. It came out on 25 September 2025 for PC, Mac, Switch and Switch 2, and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on 14 April 2026. We found no version of it on the App Store or Google Play.
Which games like Hades can you buy once?
Children of Morta, Wizard of Legend and Rogue Legacy are one purchase on the US App Store with no in-app purchases listed. Bastion and Enter the Gungeon let you play the beginning for free and sell the rest in one purchase. Dead Cells costs money up front and sells its expansions on top. These are the US App Store prices on 29 October 2026:
| Game | Price | On Android |
|---|---|---|
| Rogue Legacy | $3.99 | Not that we could find |
| Bastion | Beginning free, $4.99 for the full game | Not that we could find |
| Enter the Gungeon | First floor free, $6.99 for the full game | Yes |
| Children of Morta | $6.99, both expansions included | Yes |
| Wizard of Legend | $7.99 | Yes |
| Dead Cells | $8.99, expansions $3.99 to $6.99 | Yes |
| Otherworld Legends | Free, with ads, and heroes and currency sold in the game | Yes |
What else from the makers of Hades is on phones?
Supergiant Games has two of its earlier games on the App Store. Bastion is on the list above. The other is Transistor, a science fiction action game. In a fight you can freeze time to plan a string of moves and then watch them play out, and you build your sword's abilities by mixing powers the game calls Functions, which the listing says gives thousands of combinations. Like Bastion, you play it through as one story rather than in runs, which is why it isn't on the list. It costs $4.99 on the US App Store, works on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and we didn't find it on Google Play.
Lootero comes out in November 2026
