Anyone looking for cool games that capture the feeling of tabletop role-playing games should definitely check out these two representatives on Steam. Because now is the perfect opportunity to get both titles for under €10.
What games are we talking about? Anyone who enjoys role-playing games in the style of Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3 should not overlook the two Pathfinder games from Owlcat Games. Both Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous not only offer hundreds of hours of gameplay and an authentic tabletop feel, but are also included in the current Winter Sale on Steam.
Here’s how you can currently get them for the following prices:
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker Enhanced Plus Edition for €2.99
- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Enhanced Edition for €5.99
- Both games in the Bundle for €8.08
There are also variants with DLCs on sale if you want to go all in and are sure that the game is right for you.
Both games are based on the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder, which is built on the 3.5 edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rule set and come with several DLCs for those who can’t get enough with the hundreds of hours of base game. Both feature a certain old-school look and text-heavy presentation, but provide a sophisticated depth with their scope.
Several hundred hours of content and an intricate combat system with a twist
What is special about the two Pathfinder games? The story of both games is based on the namesake campaign books, and you create your own character like in Baldur’s Gate 3, who is accompanied by various selectable companions. You will experience a comprehensive, in-depth story that you can influence and engage in tactical battles from an isometric perspective.
The twist is that you can choose at any time whether to fight your battles in a turn-based manner or prefer real-time combat. For this, you can choose from numerous races and classes, and in WotR you can pursue additional legendary paths, each bringing you exclusive storylines and abilities.
Both games also offer additional modes and features outside of the story, such as your own castle in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which you must manage and expand, or the ability to lead crusades against demons, as seen in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. In WotR there is even a kind of roguelite mode.
With its scope, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is even larger than the genre hit Baldur’s Gate 3. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus even lost his entire vacation to it. In his article, he tells you why it was more than worth it: One of the best role-playing games is finally complete and larger than Baldur’s Gate 3, it cost me my entire vacation
