Adventure into the strange unknown with Pathway, a strategy RPG set in the 1930s great desert wilderness. Outwit your enemies in daring turn-based combat, raid occult tombs and make tough choices in a procedurally generated grand pulp expedition!

The year is 1936...

In a time of global turmoil, Nazi influence spreads inexorably across Europe and the Middle East. Rumors are abound of secret excavations and mysterious artifacts, not to mention the odd whisperings and tales of gruesome occult rituals...

It's up to you to assemble a team of bold adventurers to journey through the desert. Explore bunkers and temples of Northern Africa to discover their hidden treasures and secrets before they fall into the hands of Nazi forces.



Pathway is a turn-based strategy game designed to provide players with approachable, fast-paced and fun squad skirmishes in an early 20th century pulp-adventure setting. Quickly run for cover, flank enemies and utilize your team’s special abilities to turn the tide of battle in your favor!



On the way to the mission objective, your team will trek through a randomized map, encountering a series of brief, ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ stories. The key to a successful mission will be to manage the risks that you take during these encounters, but remember that missions can be repeated at any time - with a new series of events to encounter each time you restart.

Features:

  • DYNAMIC ADVENTURES - Discover 5 different campaigns of varying difficulty, with each and every attempt generating a new web of encounters and unique storyline.
  • TOUGH CHOICES - Every explored location presents you with one of over 400 hand-crafted story events. Search the well? Save the villagers? It's up to you!
  • DECISIVE CONFLICTS - Use cover and positioning in exciting turn-based squad combat. Learn to make the best use of your equipment and your team’s abilities, to vanquish a relentless foe, in ruthless and clever ways!
  • BUILD YOUR TEAM OF ADVENTURERS - Each of Pathway’s 16 unlockable characters has their own skills, weaknesses and quirks, from the almighty melee strength of Brunhilda, to rifle expert daredevil Jackson, and knife-wielding huntress Shani.
  • HIDDEN TREASURES - Unearth riches untold, from common weaponry to rare and unique items with special abilities. Perfect your load-out and cash-in on your high-value treasures for a tidy profit.
  • THRILLING VISUALS - Classic 16-bit pixel art enhanced with unprecedented depth, lighting and shadows using Pixel/Voxel Hybrid Technology.
  • RECOVER & REPLAY - Sometimes failure is the best path to winning. Progressively explore the procedurally generated world, and grow stronger and learn more with each defeat, taking your loot with you even after death.

With soundtrack by the critically-acclaimed composer, Gavin Harrison of Halfway fame!

9/10
Pathway throws in a lot of different gameplay elements, but it does everything well. The strategic combat is simple and fluid, and doesn't outstay its welcome. The vignette-like adventures are palatable and entertaining. And perhaps best of all, it's one of the best looking pixelized games in recent memory.

Pathway is a workmanlike XCOM-lite whose breezy tone stumbles into some tired tropes.

Pathway brings together RPG tactics and roguelite progression with a unique Indiana Jones setting, but it doesn't have the depth to feel replayable.

Vastly inferior FTL

This is Raiders of the Lost Ark skinned FTL with more annoying, less satisfying combat

A throwback to Fate of Atlantis.

Great game. Hope they expand it more ... a lot more. Definitely will buy an expansion or second instalment.

Proper review to follow soon

For now, all I can say is, I've started playing the game, and I've got a huge problem right from the get-go. It is not made obvious to the player when you move into hard or soft cover. It really feels like the enemi AI knows where you are from the get-go. There must be gaps in the walls, but the PLAYER does not know where these are and how to avoid them. I get constantly shot. THROUGH WALLS. At this point I really don't know what to do anymore. There is no point in having walls if they're basically not there. You cannot hide behind them at all. You cannot use them for cover. And this is the very first battle I encounter. What the deuce? I'll put a proper review later, but this game would benefit from making it clear to the player when they move about, if a wall actually does something, or not. The "shield" icon certainly didn't tell the truth, because I got short right away, standing there. So far, beautiful and sweet sounding game that I can't play properly.

Pretty but terrible

1 star for the great pixel art but 0 for the rest. This game is garbage I don't know why GOG is even promoting it. GOG staff really sucks at curating.
