Adventuring and rulership share the focus in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, an isometric, party-based RPG set in the Pathfinder fantasy universe. You explore tombs and ruins while claiming territory in the Stolen Lands, a wilderness contested for centuries. Establishing a kingdom means facing rival nations and threats within your own court.
In this single-player game, companions have their own alignments, agendas, and goals, and your choices help shape their lives. Ruling involves diplomacy, politics, and kingdom development: expansion opens territory for new towns, while decisions, policies, and alliances physically change your capital.
