Dark Fantasy RPG Hellslave Available for Free on Steam Now

Alright, so you know the drill—here we go again with the “free game alert” siren. Honestly, no idea why these things excite me so much, but hey, free stuff! Anyway, there’s this game, Hellslave, handing out zero-cost copies on Steam for a bit. Yup, it’s rocking that dark fantasy dungeon crawler vibe. Kind of has this Darkest Dungeon flavor—structurally, emotionally, all of it—but with its own twist. Grab it now and it’s yours, like, forever. No strings, just games.

Now, let’s get into the weird plot. No advice on dabbling with devils, but Hellslave asks you to do exactly that. To fight back Hell’s forces, you sign up with the devil and nab powers from demons. Weird, but cool? These demons are your classes, essentially. You pick skills, tweak your abilities, and dive into this demonic playstyle like it’s nobody’s business.

It’s got this old-school dungeon crawler thing going on. You’re checking things out from above—click here, click there. Totally random and also not. Either you uncover lore, snag an ability upgrade, or—bam!—jump headfirst into combat. Fight scenes can pop up out of nowhere. Threat level’s up? Expect skirmishes. It’s a bit like a game of chance, honestly.

Fighting is turn-based—but not slow. Not even close. By the time you’re knee-deep in, your arsenal is insane. It’s chaotic, in a good way. Anyone get what I mean when I say “Darkest Dungeon energy?” Ah, it makes sense if you’ve played it. Anyway, your demonic powers? Game changers. But don’t get cocky—enemies have nasty surprises, too. Might be one enemy, might be a crowd. Expect the unexpected.

Meanwhile, there’s a YouTube link here. Not sure why I always focus on these things, but thumbnails sure are neat. And back to the game! So, Hellslave hasn’t been grabbing headlines, but it’s still like an 81% favorite on Steam. Not bad, right? The solo developer, Ars Goetia, is already cooking up Hellslave 2. A sequel! Promises to up the narrative game, and it’s hitting in 2026. Which feels forever, but whatever.

To hype things up and keep us eager beavers occupied, Dear Villagers is generously throwing the first Hellslave at us for exactly zero cents. Like… free until June 16. Grab it or regret it. And listen—if it tickles your fancy, go slap Hellslave 2 onto your wishlist. Easy-peasy.

More visuals here—YouTube looking crisp. And if you’re craving the same combat thrill, there’s this ultimate list of turn-based RPGs. For penny-pinchers like me, the free Steam games guide is a gem.
