Pagan: Absent Gods is a single-player hack-and-slash action RPG developed by Mad Head Games and released for PC in 2019. Set in an ancient, mythologically flavored world, the game follows an eight-act story campaign centered on uncovering the mystery of absent deities. Combat is fast-paced and designed to be approachable but difficult to master, supported by three difficulty settings — Normal, Hard, and Master. Players can choose from up to ten distinct heroes, each featuring a unique ability tree and playstyle; the roster includes a blind, bear-accompanied warrior, a blood-consuming cult survivor, and a gunslinger who deploys rat-assisted turrets. Progression is deepened through enemy loot drops, a crafting and reforging system, set bonuses tied to different Schools of Magic, and Legendary and Fabled weapons. Cosmetic customization is also available through skins, pets, and collectible item sets. The game supports WASD, click-to-move, and controller input.
