Five seconds after I clicked “play” on Pathway‘s launch trailer, I was already sold on the game. I’m a big fan of the Indiana Jones movies (well, with the exception of a certain film that I’d rather not talk about), and turn-based tactics games like XCOM are also my jam, so Pathway ticked all the boxes to get me hooked. Imagine my surprise when I learned that such a gem had been hidden from me for long enough that it’s coming out next Thursday, on April 11th! Anyway, enough about me, here’s the trailer so you can also appreciate this match made in heaven.
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!
