What Is Pagan Online?

The game is primarily a fast-paced, Hack and Slash top-down ARPG developed by Mad Head Games and Wargaming. It features all the classic RPG gameplay, fused with session-based PVE action, unique characters and offers players both new and veterans a real challenge. You’ll engage the main story campaign via a series of Acts, each featuring multiple chapters. They’re also voice-acted to give it that AAA feel. The game has a crafting system, and you’ll gather mats while you’re out and about in these missions. Expect to see tons and tons of loot as you annihilate scores of enemies, but be weary of boss fights though – they can hurt if you make even the tiniest of mistakes.

Here’s All The Additions Since Early Access

Today, Pagan Online launches with massive amounts of new in-game content including new characters, zones and features stemming directly from community feedback. During Pagan Online’s early access period, Mad Head Games and Wargaming have closely followed player response to further develop and polish the game. Below are the key additions thanks to that feedback from Early Access players:

Epic New Content – Headlined by two new playable characters, Hector and Eldan, Pagan Online launches with new game-changing content including new bosses, items, maps, zones, and more for all stages of the game.

60-Hour Campaign – A full campaign inspired by Slavic myths and spread across eight acts is now complete.

Expanded Control Options – By popular demand, Pagan Online now supports a click-to-move control scheme as well as gamepad support.

Revamped Systems – Item drops and recipes have received major balance tweaks to reflect higher diversity and value, while the game’s crafting system has also been overhauled.

New Skill Trees – Players can harness the power of new skill trees, allowing them more freedom to customize their builds and find their preferred path to destruction.

What The Pagan Online Team Has To Say

“Pagan Online has come a long way from when we first entered early access to now, and we’d like to thank every player that has supported the game so far for their help along the way,” said Jacob Beucler, Product Director at Wargaming America. “With major changes to controls, game balance, and skill and crafting systems, as well as a load of new content, we’re proud to present the launch version of Pagan Online. We just hope you’re all up for a challenge!”

“The amazing community that has formed around Pagan Online has been instrumental in making it the best dungeon crawler that it can be,” added Uros Banjesevic, Chief Creative Officer of Mad Head Games. “Throughout early access, we prioritized listening to our player base and have consistently taken their feedback to heart. In our eyes, Pagan Online’s launch is as much a product of our community as it is from Mad Head Games. We’re looking forward to continuing to evolve the game even further with all of you!”

For those interested, the game is on Steam and costs $29.99.

Legends of Aria

Legends of Aria was formerly known as Shard Online. The former’s development arc was prolific and garnered huge interest from the sandbox MMORPG community. Today, Legends of Aria has come along way with plenty of gameplay improvements, both to the world and the combat. It’s been in early access since late 2018, but the game will officially launch on Steam this coming August 6th. Why should you put it on your Wishlist? Because Legends of Aria is a living breathing world defined and shaped by its player community. It is a world of dangers where bonds are forged – and broken – by players writing their own stories. The team at Citadel Studios has been hard at work responding to player feedback, and have crafted a version of Aria that is able to be enjoyed by those who wish to live the quiet life and those who want to go rogue and hunt down their fellow adventurers. Much of the game world is now safe from the harsh life of open PVP, but lawless regions still exist – and in those areas, anything goes. You might uncover untold treasures out there, but are you willing to take the risk?

Pagan Online

Wargaming’s first attempt at an ARPG game resulted in Pagan Online. It has tons of monsters to bash or curse depending on what class you play as, plus hours of gameplay to be had. You’ll play missions that progress the campaign, while unlocking new classes. Pagan Online also has a crafting system for gear and itemization, and in typical ARPG fashion, loot is king. Expect to be farming legendaries and forming builds with your favorite class and their Skill Trees in order to overcome harder difficulty challenges. Pagan Online will officially launch on Steam on August 27th, and the region block will be lifted. That means yes, you can now view the game’s Steam Store page if you previously couldn’t. While it still carries the Early Access moniker, expect the game to feel like what despite the massive amounts of updates in between. That means, bugs, imbalances and maybe a rare wipe before official launch arrives.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead

If you’ve ever played Darkest Dungeon before, you’re in for a treat. Iratus: Lord of the Dead is its evil twin. You play as the bad guy, controlling your evil minions against the hero adventurers in this roguelike RPG dungeon crawler. Iratus: Lord of the Dead will challenge your strategic prowess on all fronts, with permadeath affecting not only minions but enemies, as well. Body parts and essence are finite resources in the game’s sprawling dungeon overworld, so you’ll need to think carefully about what you conjure and how it’ll help you exact revenge. The game is now officially out on Steam Early Access (as of July 25th) and you can jump into it right now. Just be warned, early reviews seem to suggest that balance is off right now, making the game fiendishly difficult.

Re:Legend

Re:Legend incorporates the best parts from games like ARK: Survival Evolved, Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley into their very own blend of co-op multiplayer JRPG. You’ll encounter hybrid combining farming and life-simulation mechanics with strong monster-raising and multiplayer features, Re:Legend invites players to build and expand their village through a huge variety of life-simulation activities, inclusive of farming, fishing, crafting and more. Set in the world of Ethia, players awake as a legendary hero, washed ashore on Vokka Island with no memories. Players must revive their hero, and find ways to remember the forgotten past. By learning how to survive – cultivating the land, breeding and catching fish, befriending inhabitants, expanding the village, crafting weaponry and training for combat, among all the available activities – players will increase the chances of taming and raising the Magnus, magical creatures that populate this wondrous world. With a Magnus on his/her side, the adventurer will be able to venture across the land, facing threatening challenges, finding even more powerful Magnus and eventually regain lost memories. Re:Legend launches on Steam this August.

“With Pagan Online, our goal is to push action RPGs forward. While we stand on the shoulders of the giants of this genre, we’re aiming to give players a fresh hack-n-slash experience that they can come back to again and again,” said Jacob Beucler, Publishing Director at Wargaming. “Early Access is the first step in getting Pagan Online into the hands of players around the world as we continue to refine and polish the title.”

“We are incredibly excited and proud to bring this project of passion into Early Access and can’t wait to hear what players think about what we’ve built so far,” said Uros Banjesevic, Chief Creative Officer of Mad Head Games. “Player feedback is incredibly important to us, and we look forward to working with the community as we continue to expand the game. We want to make Pagan Online a title that ARPG fans can really sink their teeth into and the community will play a huge part in that.”

At Early Access launch Pagan Online is a single player experience, with cooperative play coming to the title soon. Content expansions will also be added to the game in the coming months, including new zones, new enemies and extended story lines.

Pagan Online follows in the footsteps of classic top-down dungeon crawlers while redefining the action RPG genre with session-based PVE action, MOBA-like characters, and challenging combat that is easy to pick up but difficult to master. The game features:

• Intense, session-based PVE gameplay across a variety of interactive environments and procedurally generated encounters.
• Eight unlockable characters with highly unique play styles.
• Challenging combat and WASD controls that require precise tactics and skilful execution.
• An original fantasy setting inspired by pre-Christian Slavic mythology.
• A five-act single player campaign with three levels of difficulty for players of all skill levels.
• Varied game modes including daily and weekly events, monster hunts, assassinations, and more.
• Endless loot and crafting systems that let players customise their appearance and load-out for specific challenges.
