Don't bother getting this game. It was originally an online service game with multiplayer as early access and was pulled and changed to single player little over a year later. I guess the only thing that makes sense in the game is it changing from Pagan Online to Pagan Absent Gods aka the devs abandoned it so they are absent. It is still crazy how this game is basically full price 2/3rds of the original price despite it being ABANDONWARE.

While the game struggles with certain balancing and technical issues, its intense combat system and strong atmosphere allow it to remain a surprisingly engaging experience for fans of fast-paced dungeon crawling and loot-driven progression. The game immediately establishes a grim tone through its world design and lore.

Rather than embracing heroic fantasy filled with optimism and adventure, Pagan: Absent Gods leans heavily into darker themes of destruction and suffering. The environments are drenched in decay, with ruined temples, cursed wastelands, and blood-soaked batt…
