Important Announcement

Dear players,

We regret to inform you that the game Pagan: Absent Gods, will be removed from Steam until the end of May 2026. If you've already purchased it, don't worry - it won't disappear from your account and will remain in your local Steam library.

For many of us at Mad Head Games, Pagan holds a special place. It was our first core game - a step that marked a real shift in our identity as a studio and our future direction. But it also wouldn't have meant nearly as much without the community that showed up for it. Your support, your feedback, and your enthusiasm for the world we built together left a mark that outlasts any platform.

Thank you for playing our game.

About the Game

Revisit your grandma’s fairy tales with a two handed battle axe. Quest for glory and the treasures of the absent Gods in this brutal fast-paced hack and slash singleplayer game.

COMBAT – HARD AND FAST

Jump into the ancient, mysterious realm of Pagan: Absent Gods and steel yourself for waves of satisfying, yet challenging combat, which is easy to pick up but difficult to master – good to keep in mind after your 108th death. Play through the eight acts of story campaign to uncover the mystery of Absent Gods. Normal, Hard, and Master difficulties await you. How confident are you feeling?

Control fate however you like – whether it be WASD, click to move, or using a controller.

LOOT – WIELD WICKED WEAPONS

We all love it and enemies love to drop it (they don’t). Further tailor your builds with items you pry from dead demon hands and the unique crafting and reforging system of the Drevna Kutia. Utilize set bonuses from the different Schools of Magic and Legendary and Fabled weapons of unbridled might.

PROGRESSION – 10 FLAVORS OF COMBAT

Play and master up to 10 heroes, each with their own unique playstyle and sprawling ability tree; from a God-touched blind kid with a beary powerful best friend, to a cult escapee who consumes blood to continue living a life of sleeping with one eye open, to a rebel gunslinger whose pet rats help him set up turrets on the battlefield.

CUSTOMIZATION – SLAY IN STYLE

Here, we’re firm believers in doing things with a bit of added flair, so suit up in your favorite skins, bring your best pet along for the ride, and collect item sets for boosts to your kit and your wardrobe.
