About this mod
Local Co-op multiplayer for Hades.
Works with Steam Remote Play
- Permissions and credits
- Mirrors
Introduction
Some time ago, there were several Hades mod projects that attempted to add online multiplayer functionality. However, none were ever completed, which made me interested in taking on this challenge. To simplify the task, the following requirements were set:
This led to certain limitations:
Installing
Configuration
Mod settings are stored in "Content\Mods\TN_CoopMod\config.lua"
LootDelivery - `"RoomDuplicated"` or `"Shared"`
Player1HasOutline and Player2HasOutline - `true` or `false`
Toggles player outline effects
Player1Outline and Player2Outline - Outline settings
Local multiplayer
Remote play
Support
The project is quite complex to test, and the game itself can have many unexpected states, so bugs may still occur.
Please report bugs on GitHub
A good bug report should include:
Also, you can ask for help in the Hades Modding Discord community. You can find me in the #coop-mod-h1 channel

Some time ago, there were several Hades mod projects that attempted to add online multiplayer functionality. However, none were ever completed, which made me interested in taking on this challenge. To simplify the task, the following requirements were set:
- Local co-op with Steam Remote Play support
- Two players
- Minimal gameplay changes
- Complex mechanics can be simplified
This led to certain limitations:
- At least one gamepad is required
- Stable network connection needed for video streaming
- The Mirror of Night affects all players equally
- The second player only appears in the hub location with weapons
- The "Devotion" challenge (where you choose one god and fight another) is disabled in boon duplication mode (temporarily?)
Installing
- Download HadesCoop-X.X.X.zip (X.X.X - version) here or from the latest GitHub release.
- Open the archive
- Extract the contents of the "x64" folder to "Hades/x64/" and "Hades/x64Vk/"
- Extract "Content/Mods" to "Hades/Content/Mods"
- For online play:
- Extract RemotePlayWhatever to any convenient location
- If the included RemotePlayWhatever doesn't work, download it from the author's page
Configuration
Mod settings are stored in "Content\Mods\TN_CoopMod\config.lua"
LootDelivery - `"RoomDuplicated"` or `"Shared"`
- Shared: Boons appear normally (only one player can take them)
- RoomDuplicated: Each room spawns two boons
Player1HasOutline and Player2HasOutline - `true` or `false`
Toggles player outline effects
Player1Outline and Player2Outline - Outline settings
