Pagan: Absent Gods plunges you into a dark, folklore-inspired world where fairy tales meet double-handed battle axes. From the moment you step into its eight-act story campaign, you’re met with relentless hordes of demons, supernatural beasts and vengeful spirits—all eager to carve your name into the underworld’s finest hall of shame. Combat is satisfyingly brutal and fast-paced: simple to learn, fiendishly difficult to master. Whether you prefer WASD strafing, click-to-move precision or a trusty controller, every encounter feels weighty, visceral and, yes, occasionally downright punishing—especially on Hard and Master difficulties.
