It's been a while since I've enjoyed an RPG as much as this one. It starts in the middle of an apocalypse and then just tosses you into the deep end and tells you to figure it out. From then it's up to you. There's a crazy amount of character customization in terms of classes and stats so you can fine-tune your character how you want it and then you get a cast of misfits for your party with each of them being interesting in their own right.You can tell an RPG did well if I want to bring all of them to my adventures. The whole thing reminds me of Hordes of the Underdark and how quickly that went from 0 to holy bloody hell, how did we get *HERE*.So, should you play it? Yes, if you love RPGs and got experience. Maybe, if you're a newcomer, the game can be brutal ... MoreIt's been a while since I've enjoyed an RPG as much as this one.

Maybe, if you're a newcomer, the game can be brutal despite difficulty settings. No, if you're impatient. There's a looooot of text and a looooot of battle to go around.

This game does a great job of getting you to give a crap about the story without drowning you in it. You are thrust into a classic demonic invasion storyline, and your adventure gets stranger from there.High quality writing also helps keep me engaged, especially between acts where I often lose focus on CRPGs.Not without bugs, but the devs have been doing good work there. For a company's 2nd product this feels like an honest effort to deliver a quality experience.

Isometric 3D CRPG.over 160 hours of contentAdjustable difficulty levelsCustomisable starting characterFamiliarity with DnD rules is not necessary (but helpful) to understand gameplay.Playing this game requires actual planning and coherent strategy.

This game brings life to the Pathfinder tabletop RPG with it's awesome hybrid real-time/turn-based combat. I love the gorgeous art with it's charming and colorful landscapes. If you are a pathfinder or dnd fan, I'm sure you will enjoy this game as much as I do.

Its an unpolished gem.Its a great CRPG game with a lot of ambition, and perhaps one of the best content for awhile.Sadly the bugs and performance can be quite detrimental to the experience. I haven't finished it due to that. But every single minute that I had with the game while it ran well and without bugs, was stellar. That's the only reason its one star less.

So much options, so much dialogs and combat is great, every decision count as you and your adventure team travel, graphics are really nice and since this game have multiple endings to a lot of quest and character to try during your play through, replayability is a massive upside for this title

As a fan of the Pathfinder Kingmaker I thought I would give this game a shot. It took what I loved about Pathfinder Kingmaker and expanded on that while changing the Castle Sim mechanic I wasn't thrilled about into something a bit more enjoyable to me the Crusade mode. I have been loving every minute of this game, if you enjoy Pathfinder Kingmaker or Tabletop you will enjoy this game.

GREAT game for lovers of classic RTWP infinite engine-like games, such as Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Pillars of Eternity and such. Compated to Kingmaker, it feels much better, and added a TON of replayability with the mythic paths and many possible endings. It may feel overwhelming to new players, given there are almost 200 classes, but it's worth getting into if you like this genre and a lot of reading.

A Dark Fantasy World Overrun with Demons not Bugs

The Pathfinder 1.0 ruleset translates well when using turn-based combat. Traveling around area maps make strategic skill choices worth it. The voice acting, controllable companions, NPC's all work well within the main quest narrative. That said there are a lot of glass walls in the 'open world' that reflect for example the edges of a gaming table or map of a town, but can be annoying when planning out combat in a 'corner' when you thought you were at a crossroads etc. Other artistic features of terrain like ladders that lead to roofs etc are just that, so there is no 'climbing' during combat, but there is climbing in certain map areas which requires skill checks for the party etc when not in combat. You can adjust the settings to make turn based combat feel natural ... MoreThe Pathfinder 1.0 ruleset translates well when using turn-based combat.

You can adjust the settings to make turn based combat feel natural and flow quickly, at higher levels you can turn on real time combat to quickly deal with random encounters with low level opponents. Overall this cRPG is much better than Kingmaker, in that screens load faster, no crashes so far in my play through etc I'm playing in 'core' mode which adds more minions into encounters, and companions can die etc At the harder difficulty the game play is similar to real life tabletop play, where multiple characters can drop but not die in encounters. A benefit to playing in the harder mode is that there is some more random loot and ingredients. The demon invasion main quest narrative does make for a post-apocalyptic vibe versus that fantastical sense of exploration and adventure, so if you're looking for a fun bright open world filled with possibility this world is the opposite, but has its own dark souls draw.

Owlcat nails it on their second outing.

Owlcat's second Pathfinder game is a significant improvement over Kingmaker. With exciting moments, great writing, and excellent combat, this is a must-play for CRPG fans.
