Dark Fantasy RPG Hellslave Available for Free on Steam

Alright, here goes nothing. Picture this: you’ve got a morning coffee, a half-eaten bagel, and you stumble upon a random internet whisper about free things. I mean, who doesn’t perk up at the word “free,” right? So, Hellslave — this gnarly, dark fantasy RPG — suddenly up for grabs on Steam. No price tag. Zilch. Nada. And it’s like, yes please! (Cue airhorn sound, metaphorically, of course).

Okay, quick detour here: I remember once seeing a poster of Darkest Dungeon at a friend’s place. Didn’t think much of it back then. Now, I totally get it. Hellslave’s got this whole “sell your soul to the devil” vibe, which, let’s be honest, sounds completely unwise but is strangely tempting. In the game, you’re basically making deals with demons, picking your poison… uh, I mean demon class, and diving into all sorts of nightmarish chaos. And skill trees! Those addictive little branching things that make you feel like you’re actually going somewhere in life.

So, typical dungeon crawler stuff here — top-down view, pointing and clicking like you’re navigating a medieval Google Maps. Every stop might clue you in on the lore, or maybe hand you a sweet new skill, or just say “Hey, fight this nasty creature now.” And fights? Woah, not your granny’s turn-based snooze-fest. Sure, there’s turn-taking, but it kicks up a storm later on with a buffet of abilities to mess with. It’s chaotic. Think Darkest Dungeon’s younger, wilder sibling.

Anyway — backtracking — encounters get hectic. You’re slinging supernatural punches, and your enemies? They’ve got the same playbook. You might fight one big bad, or they might throw an unwelcome party of adversaries.

And don’t let its underground status fool you. This little gem rocks an 81% love rating on Steam. Nice, huh? Plus, Ars Goetia (the brain behind all this madness) is not slowing down. They’re cooking up a sequel that’s supposed to drop some serious story bombs when it lands in 2026. Fingers crossed for some epic narratives there.

Right now though, Hellslave is yours for the taking. Well, until June 16th, and then it vanishes like my willpower before morning coffee. Quick clickfest required over on Steam. If you finish it with a grin and want more, there’s Hellslave 2, waiting for a loving wishlist add.
