Reviews

“Pathway encapsulates what makes “Indiana Jones” so fun to experience ... If you’re yearning for a new adventure where everything falls together and just works, then you can’t go wrong with Pathway.”
9/10 – TechRaptor

“Pathway is FTL meets Indiana Jones with a sprinkling of Jagged Alliance, and I cannot stop thinking about it.”
9/10 – The Indie Game Website

“Good strategy RPGs are rare these days, and rarer still are ones that weave together so many disparate elements as effectively as Pathway does.”
Kotaku

Just Updated


Adventurers Wanted is a free update to Pathway which introduces exciting changes and all new content to the game.

Changes in V1.1.4 - Hardcore Mode Update:

Hardcore Mode is a new and challenging way to play Pathway! All adventures play in one long sequence one after the other. Everything carries over to the next adventure and you have to survive with only the equipment and characters you find during your travels. Beware: If a team member dies, they are gone for good!

Changes in V1.1 - Adventurers Wanted Update:

  • Tactical Improvements: The update adds 18 new unlockable character abilities bringing a range of new tactical options to the combat. The AI as well as the general balancing have received lots of tweaks.
  • New Loot System: The loot and item system has been reworked to be more rewarding and satisfying!
  • New Combat Arenas: Adds more variety in combat scenarios including farms, airfields, nubien pyramids and other fun surprises.
  • More To Explore: The update adds numerous new adventure-specific events to better flesh out the story context. A lot of existing events have been reworked to present more interesting (and dangerous!) choices.
  • New Languages: Pathway is now also be playable in Chinese and Japanese!

About This Game

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, mysterious artifacts, and even 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, each attempt generating a new web of events...
  • TOUGH CHOICES - Explored locations often present a brief, hand-crafted story event. 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 team's abilities and equipment in order to defeat the enemy!
  • BUILD YOUR TEAM OF ADVENTURERS - Each of Pathway’s 16 unlockable characters has their own set of skills and quirks which can impact combat and story encounters.
  • HIDDEN TREASURES - Trade-in your high-value loot in order to upgrade your team's arsenal with increasingly rare weapons and armor.
  • RECOVER & REPLAY - Experiment with different team combinations until your foes have been vanquished!
  • THRILLING VISUALS - Classic 16-bit pixel art enhanced with unprecedented depth, lighting and shadows using Pixel/Voxel Hybrid Technology.
With soundtrack by the critically-acclaimed composer, Gavin Harrison of Halfway fame!
