Synopsis

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a 2018 isometric role-playing game, developed by Owlcat Games, and published by Deep Silver, originally for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux. Based on Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder franchise, the game sees players assume the role of a hero who becomes the ruler of their own kingdom, whereupon they deal with several problems that endanger their rule from neighbouring lands, various factions, and an otherworldly threat. The game was developed following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017 by Owlcat, and focuses on a mixture of classic RPG gaming based upon notable titles such as Baldur's Gate, and basic management involving city building and contending with various events that impact the player's kingdom. The game received mixed reviews, praising the game's story and management system, but criticizing the difficulty curve and other problems. An Enhanced Edition of Pathfinder: Kingmaker was later released in 2019, with a console version, Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Definitive Edition, released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2020; a Nintendo Switch version was also planned but later canceled. A sequel, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, was released in 2021. As of 2026, the game is currently owned by Knights Peak, a subsidiary of My.Games, with over two million copies sold.
