About This Demo

Thousands of years of demonic warfare have torn the world to shreds. Six demon lords,
locked in an endless war, have brought ruin to all. Tired of this infernal chaos, the heavens have unleashed the Archon of Judgment, an unstoppable force set to destroy everything.

But before annihilation can begin, you’re given a final chance at salvation: destroy all the demons yourself or perish with the rest of the world and creation.

Welcome to HellSlave II: Judgment of the Archon, a dark fantasy dungeon crawler RPG where you're humanity's last twisted chance. As the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed Hellslave, this sequel takes everything fans loved, gritty lore, comic book style hand-drawn art, and tactical combat that raises the bar to hell.

Customize Your Damnation

Start as a Warrior or Sorcerer and specialize in six deadly classes from spectral assassins to plague-bearing mages. Mix and match powers in a flexible talent tree and forge your path through fire and fury.

Turn-Based Combat with a Time Twist
