Pathfinder Video Game Series
A series of isometric RPGs with strategic elements, based on a narrative RPG system titled Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, which is an expanded and modified version of the system Dungeons & Dragons 3.5. The series was created by Owlcat Games, a Russian development studio founded by developers who have previously worked on such projects as Etherlords or Heroes of Might and Magic V.
The first part of the series, i.e. Pathfinder: Kingmaker, debuted in 2018. The item took us on a journey to the fantastic land of Stolen Lands. During the game, we played the role of the leader of a group of adventurers, whose task was to build a kingdom and take care of its safety. Watching the action in an isometric view, during the gameplay we not only traveled the world, completed tasks and fought clashes with enemies, but also managed our domains, erecting fortresses and settlements and making choices that affected the fate of both the protagonist himself and the entire land. The title was a moderate artistic success, but it sold well enough that after its release the authors decided to prepare a sequel.
The second installment of the series, titled Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, appeared in 2021. Although the project drew handfuls from the achievements of its predecessor, at the same time it added a lot from itself and corrected a number of its mistakes. This time we ended up in a darker corner of the planet Golarion, right in the middle of the battle between the forces of good (humans and angels) and evil (personified by Lord Deskari and his army). Among the novelties it is worth mentioning the mythological system of character development, thanks to which the protagonists could change into fantastic beings (such as counts or angels), much more powerful than ordinary mortals. At the same time, the creators did not abandon strategic elements, which were deepened and better adapted to the rest of the mechanics. These efforts ultimately paid off, as the title was received by critics noticeably warmer than its predecessor.
Games in the series Pathfinder operate on the basis of Unity technology. While the first installment of the series was colorful and transparent, its continuation was kept in a much darker tone.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a classic RPG developed by Owlcat Games in cooperation with the one and only Chris Avellone. The game is based on the popular Pathfinder RPG system and takes the players to a typical fantasy land where they will have to build their own kingdom and defend it. We observe the game from an isometric point of view and, as we play, control a party made of characters with different abilities. During our adventures we will explore a vast realm where we will complete primary and side quests, and fight with the encountered enemies. In combat, we can use magic and typical fantasy weapons. Managing our kingdom plays a crucial role in the game. We will have to build settlements, towns, and strongholds, and make various decisions that reflect our hero's nature.
