A rift to the Abyss has unleashed demons across the Worldwound, and you take the role of a hero drawn into the war against them. Your decisions shape your character’s place in the conflict and the course of the story.
Create a character from a choice of 25 classes and 12 races, then explore, fight, solve puzzles, and follow quests with a party of recruitable companions. Combat can be switched between real-time with pause and turn-based play.
Develop your party with spells, feats, and abilities, and choose a Mythic Path that grants extraordinary powers and influences the story. You also lead crusading armies, taking part in tactical battles as you challenge demon forces and claim territory.
Many supplied reviews praise the far-reaching story choices, mythic paths, and opportunities to role-play very different heroes. Players also frequently value the depth of character building, the companions, and the scope for replaying the campaign differently. Some enjoy learning the detailed rules and tactical systems, while others find the complexity, demanding fights, and added campaign tasks tiring.
Your path will lead you to the Worldwound, where the opening of a rift to the Abyss has unleashed all-consuming terror across the land. For over a century, the neighboring nations have fought fearlessly, trying to drive the enemy back — but to little avail.
Now, you have the chance to put an end to this conflict, but the path to salvation is far from clear-cut. Will you become a shining angel, backed by noble paladins? Or a powerful necromancer with hordes of immortal undead in your thrall? Or something else entirely? Lead your army and challenge mighty demon lords. Your crusade will set in motion a chain of events that will leave you — and the world itself — forever changed.
Create any character imaginable with the flexibility, richness, and depth of the Pathfinder First Edition ruleset. Choose from 25 classes, 12 character races, and more than a thousand spells, feats, and abilities to suit your personal playstyle.
Your decisions have more weight than ever before. Your goal is clear, but you must forge your own path to it. Who will die, and who will live? Who will stay, and who will go? Make your choices, and watch the world around you change.
Enjoy two combat modes as you slay your enemies – real-time with pause or turn-based. Switch between them on the fly, so you can always take things as slowly — or as quickly — as you like. The unique Pathfinder ruleset also allows you to perform advanced combat maneuvers, like mounted combat. Use them wisely!
A cast of more than 10 unique companions is ready to join your cause. Earn their trust and respect, and they will have your back no matter what dangers lie ahead. And if you get on their bad side, well… Maybe it’s time to part ways.
You will need much more than a party of adventurers to cleanse the land of its demonic scourge. Take command of the crusaders and lead them to victory – both as a strategist, controlling the battle from above, and as a field commander, in a new tactical combat mode.
Explore nine unique Mythic Paths: obtain extraordinary abilities and shape everything that comes next. Your decisions might transform you into a celestial Angel, a raging Demon, a powerful Lich, a cunning Trickster, an otherworldly Aeon, a rebellious Azata, a wise Gold Dragon, an insatiable Swarm That Walks — or remain mortal and walk the arduous fantasy path toward becoming a living Legend.
