Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition

I`m a huge fan of p`n`p Pathfinder. This game is as close to ity as it can be. It`s either advantage and disatvantage. Everything in a game is decided by a dice roll. And you party can kill a powerfull monster with roll of 20, and can be wiped out with a wolf with series of bad rolls. The game has some UI bugs but now (1.0.8) they mostly fixed. I`m allready at lvl 7 and I`m enjoying the game so far. It`s as good in exploring and adventures as BG1 is, yet with some unique features, from camping to managing a kingdom. So despite some issues - I can strictly reccomend this game to any hardcore RPG fan.

I would rate this 2.5 stars if i could. the story and concept are great. a mix of rpg and city building, nice! However, there NEEDS to be an IN-DEPTH TUTORIAL. Figuring out how to upgrade your city shouldn't be a slog through online forums, period. There are apparently bugs as well, might want to wait on patches. I haven't gotten far past the first chapter so i havent run into much.Turorials and hints are desparately needed, i.e: i had to go back hours of playtime after realizing i had no advisors to send on a one day quest (to tell people of the ancient curse). I had defeated the enemy you needed to,but i had sent advisors on long missions and all i needed was one stupid day. If they had told me i might want to save such and such advisor(s) for this i wouldn't have suffered kingdom-crippling setbacks. I recommend waiting until little issues like this and most of the bugs are worked out. The devs are responsive,though, I'll give them that.

Excellent game in the style of baldar's gate. Rules are more advanced than most of this style of game so suits higher end RPGers than those wanting a hack'n'slash. Storyline and mix of dungeon crawler with city builder really worked for me and I cared about all elements of the game. The alignment system was far better than normal and more flexible for non-LG builds. I would certainly recommend this game and having finished both Bard's Tale 4 and this game in the past month, this one is far superior!

This game is not by any means finished. There are a large amount of bugs in the game. Some are game breaking others just slow it down so much. The first act is clean, no issues. It is after that, you are just begging not to run into something. They didn't release this game in a finished state. Added onto that, the game has super long load times, even on a SSD. Wait a year, hope they fix it and buy it cheap. Could have been great but its just so damn buggy

Is it buggy? Yes. Could it be better optimized? Yes. Am I having one of the best time EVER playing a CRPG and planning my second play-through? HECK YEAH! From the get-go, players familiar with the D&D and/or Pathfinder rule-sets will have an easier time understanding the mechanics and overall logic of the game, but despite the lack of hand-holding, all the information one needs is there, and extensive. Combat is unforgiving but very satisfying once a bit of strategy is applied and can accommodate almost all play-style and party composition. Yes, the save-scumming is real, but I have a lot of fun trying out new strategies, spells and placements when facing with seemingly overwhelming odds. The kingdom management system is not as exciting as it could be but meshes very well with the overall story and I've found myself spending entire play sessions planning my region's development, balancing neatly long dungeon or exploration runs. Regarding the reported tech issues, I haven't encountered any game-breaking bug, just annoyances here and there, so far however I've been impressed by the developers patch-releases schedule. All in all, if you're not a Pathfinder / D&D fan, you may want to hold off a bit, but keep that game on your list! It's a gem like we don't find often these days.
