June 2025
An absolute underappreciated gem that was very, very welcome when it was pointed out to me. Like many games these days I went in fully prepared for disappointment only to be completely struck by surprise. Hellslave is a strongly focused single player, single character RPG where the moment to moment gameplay is contriving multiple synergistic abilities for overwhelming combat advantages. This seeming imbalance is absolutely and utterly necessary however as your character will be fighting through multiple back-to-back fights with crowds of enemies that often call in reinforcements. Imagine going toe-to-toe in the ring with Mike Tyson only after you land the knockout punch he gets back up and summons two clones of himself. The power fantasy in this situation is that they need this imbalance of numbers to even stand a chance against stopping a well designed character. Added to the strongly compelling gameplay, Hellslave has a wonderfully dark artstyle that brings to mind Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame, or the similarly styled Darkest Dungeon games. Perhaps the most criminally underrated aspect of Hellslave is it's music; while the art is gorgeous and the gameplay compelling, the music is what kept sucker punching me out of nowhere. Mid-dungeon I found myself nailed in place as the backing track for that dungeon played out. Tracks varied from darkly foreboding to ominously unsettling which aided the game's mood quite well. As of writing this review the game is 100% free to own forever during the current sale; to anyone that's availed themselves of this absolute bargain of a deal I'd endorse wishlisting the upcoming announced sequel since that helps with the developer's metrics and if you have some money to spare, throw it at buying the OST. I bought the game at full $20 price tag and surprisingly don't feel at all put out by missing out on paying nothing for it instead. Ars Goetia is a developer I'm strongly looking forward to seeing more content from.

I like the "sell to soul to devil for power" fantasy and this game with your build making opportunities is immensily enjoyable, not to mention the ART oh does it look wonderful! The landscape is beautiful, dark and desolate creatures are macabre and more lovecraftian the further you go. This is dark power fantasy at its best

Hellslave is a very solid turn based RPG. It has a dark atmosphere and an entertaining story. I was impressed by the amount of "classes" and build versatility this game offers. I really enjoyed the crafting mechanic as well (although you must be careful because there are some missable ones) About 10~15 hours to clear the game, then you unlock some sort of new game+, about 10~15 hours to clear that one as well. If you planned (checked the crafting guide) early on, you could 100% the achievements by now. I had to do a brand new run to 100% the achievements. But overall, I really enjoyed my time in Hellslave. Easily recommended!

Cool game - like playing a slideshow of a D&D style game. Yeah - I wasn't sure I'd like that either, but it turns out to be one of those "one more turns" kind'a games
