Pagan: Absent Gods

About

Pagan: Absent Gods is a single player action RPG built around fast combat and varied character playstyles. You'll switch between heroes with distinct abilities slashing through waves of enemies and taking on large bosses. The game emphasizes timing and strategy over brute force with mechanics that demand precise dodges and calculated attacks. Each character offers a different approach to combat from melee brawlers to ranged specialists. The game's combat loop gets points for depth with responsive mechanics and a variety of difficulty scaling encounters. Community reviews on Metacritic average 84 out of 100 praising the tight action and character customization. While the 2019 release date means it's been out a few years the core gameplay remains sharp with a focus on skill based progression over grinding. The lack of multiplayer might turn some away but fans of deep combat systems should find enough variety to keep things fresh.
