## About Pagan: Absent Gods

Pagan: Absent Gods is a 2019 hack-and-slash action RPG set in Slavic mythology, developed by Mad Head Games and priced at $19.99. The game offers wave-based combat with class-locked weapons, ability trees, and a hero rotation system tied to a legacy ranking progression. Players describe the experience as dark and contemplative, with brutally hard combat that punishes mistakes and heroes featuring wildly different playstyles. The WASD movement approach feels fresh compared to typical point-and-click ARPGs, while reviewers highlight that Slavic mythology remains underused in the genre. The game runs at a challenging difficulty across a medium length and supports play on Steam Deck. The title holds a 46% positive rating from 1,034 Steam reviews.
