Hellslave, a Dark Fantasy RPG, is Currently Free to Claim on Steam

Alright, folks, listen up – it’s that time again. I was just minding my own business when this news smacked me in the face. Hellslave, that dark fantasy dungeon crawler that somehow slipped under most people’s radar, is totally free on Steam right now. I mean, did they foresee its sequel announcement and decide to go generous? Who knows, but snag it now, and it’s yours forever. Yeah, forever’s a long time, but hey, free is free.

So, about the game – you basically bargain with the devil. Yep, that’s how it goes. In this last-ditch chaos against Hell’s minions, you team up with dark forces. Yep, demonic powers are your friends here. Sounds wild, yeah? Choose a demon to pledge yourself to, and bingo, that’s your game class. You then dive headfirst into skill trees and battle skills. And, just like in those legendary dungeon crawlers from back in the day, you’ve got the top-down viewer, just clicking and exploring away.

Everything you stumble upon can bring a juicy bit of lore, some skills, or maybe just some random baddies to smack down. Some battles happen out of nowhere, while others wait until your threat level is screaming in red. It’s turn-based madness, seriously. And trust me, if you liked Darkest Dungeon’s vibe, you’re gonna get that big time here. Just when you think you’ve got your strategies pinned down, hellish creatures throw their chaotic powers right back at you. Surprise!

So, sure, Hellslave might not be in the RPG hall of fame, but it’s not a shabby title either, with players giving it a solid thumbs-up over on Steam. The solo brain behind this madness, Ars Goetia, is hustling hard on a sequel that promises even more narrative flair – but we gotta wait for 2026. Meanwhile, publisher Dear Villagers is giving us the first game free – basically as a “thanks for waiting” gift.

But hurry! Get it before Monday, June 16, and it’s yours. Stick it in your library, and maybe, just maybe, it’ll put a sinister little smile on your face. Oh, and don’t forget, you can wishlist Hellslave 2 if this whole demonic disco is your jam.

Craving more turn-based chaos? I’ve got a list of the best ones lingering around somewhere. Or if budget gaming is your thing (who’s isn’t?), check out the guide to free stuff on Steam.
