Plot

Playing as the descendant of an ancient-God-turned-mere-mortal by Hades, the player and up to three co-op mode friends (online or offline/LAN) must blast their way through the Maze of Hades and its demonic denizens using an arsenal of firearm weaponry and deity inspired magical 'special attacks' in order to avoid eternal damnation.

God Mode received a generally mixed reception from critics. Aggregate website Metacritic rated the PC version 58 out of 100 based on 16 reviews, the PlayStation 3 version 60 out of 100 based on 5 reviews, and the Xbox 360 version 58 out of 100 based on 8 reviews.

IGN reviewer Richard Corbett praised the level design and co-op, but criticized the game's technical issues and limited replay value.
