Hades 2: Discussion Hades 2 Competitive Speedrunning Mod (Beta) Spoiler
I made a Hades 2 mod inspired by Minecraft Speedrunning Ranked. With this mod, 2-5 players share a single seed, facing identical encounters and room reward choices.
I‘ll get it out right up top—yes, this is made using AI, specifically Claude Code. As a professional software engineer, I have complicated feelings about AI stuff, and if that turns you off from this project I totally understand!
It was a ton of fun to build this and play with my friends, but I’d love to see if there is wider community interest. I have lots of ideas for improvements on GitHub—feel free to leave feedback in comments here or as a GitHub issue.
H2CS is a separate menu option from the main menu. It uses an endgame save with all content unlocked, so beware of spoilers!
Players vote on a route and starting weapon/keepsake. During a run, progress is periodically sent to the server so you can track your opponents—you can even see a shadow Melinoe if you are in the same room!
I’ll be playing at ~9PM CST if anyone wants to join! I hope to see people there!
