“The game caught my attention and I really liked the art style and the story, but something about the battles and the loot system doesn't quite sit right with me. I feel like the game can be very addictive, but at the…”
“The intro art style is cool but the game itself is 3/10. Monotonous and uninspired combat, the story's tone is incredibly repulsive for my taste that I might cut my tongue from how edgy it is. The one thing I liked…”

“Great game! Did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did when I downloaded it. Well done to the team! Was fairly easy on normal mode, a bit annoying to farm the last item for achievement, was supper unlucky with the drop…”
“Addicting af. It's punishing but not unfair. Trying out different builds is a necessity as each encounter will test your preparedness and your patience to survive. Haven't even finished the first playthrough already…”

“i've really enjoyed playing this one. The game was just enough challenging to not be a pushover but not too hard that I thought of lowering the difficulty. The only thing I would say that I expected another ending for…”
“well at first it seems hard and all but the more you experience it you can fully understand the mechanic.. the hard part about the game is the minor bugs and loot drop rate.”

“I really wanted to love this game, but had to give up halfway. I just keep getting two-shot by hordes of enemies and praying for RNGsus for the evasion chance. Got to level 13 playing a mage build.”

“The game is not "bad" but it feels rather bland and limited; loots are always the same, nothing catch the eye... too bad.”

“Fun game, brutally difficult, wayyyy too many skills for me to keep track of.”
“Short and simple RPG with great looking art and fine premise. I do like that humanity is already in that bad shape that you need to abandon humanity to try to save it. And I do liked the few builds I tried out and I…”

“What's here is great. The art, the combat, all great. But it's brought down by a number of annoying things that occurred for me on steam deck. White flashes every time a screen changed, tedious controls, bugged UI…”
“Great turn based game. surprisingly addictive. several builds, gearsets, talent trees for personal unique play styles. epic dark art. so much gear i found it hard to part with. wish you could buy a wardrobe and storage…”

“Hellslave was a surprising experience for me, especially since I’ve usually found the turn-based combat genre a bit "weird" in the past. It served as a great introduction to the dungeon crawler genre, and I was honestly impressed by how much I enjoyed the core gameplay loop. The…”

Story…”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“That stuff that looks like AI art, isn't. It's just art in a style that AI likes to rip off. The illustrations here are intentional, and they're well composed. In fact, the game overall is pretty solidly designed---it just suffers from looking like things it isn't. For all the…”
