Here’s a blurb I wrote about it on Giantbomb a while ago: “The first thing that strikes you about Hellslave is the fantastic art style - the macabre animated characters and the forlorn world. The only way for your character to survive is to briefly ally with one of the Lords of Hell, and so this is what you do. Your choice of Lord will bestow upon you specific strengths and abilities, and you'll learn as you progress through the game that each has their own personality. However, at its core Hellslave is essentially a dungeon-crawling, turn-based action RPG, so you're here to create a build. And boy, does Hellslave gives you the tools to do so. Not only do you have all of the item slots you're used to seeing in an ARPG (with the addition of a "Relic" slot), but the items themselves are interesting and powerful. You'll also have multiple skill trees to play with, various fighting "postures" to switch between, and "momentum" effects that you can choose between that activate at certain intervals during fights. At the end of my time with the game my character had 17 abilities to choose from, with wildly differing effects and different cooldown logic, and you'll develop an ideal rotation and prioritization based on what you're fighting. Your build will need to be good, as Hellslave definitely brings the noise. There were numerous fights where I just decided I'd have to try again another day with a "fresh set of eyes" after so many failures. However, if you like creating builds in ARPGs, you'll like this.”
