Pathfinder: Kingmaker (Enhanced Plus Edition) | Gameplay Showcase | 4K/60FPS
Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition is an isometric, party-based CRPG (classic computer role-playing game) developed by Owlcat Games and published by Deep Silver. The original game launched in September 2018, with the Enhanced Plus Edition (a free upgrade incorporating player feedback, quality-of-life improvements, and additional features like turn-based mode) following as an updated version around 2020—making it over 7 years old as of 2026. It's still available and playable on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), with a solid community, though major development has shifted to sequels like Wrath of the Righteous. This game faithfully adapts the Pathfinder tabletop RPG ruleset (based on D&D 3.5e/PF1e) into a deep, story-rich adventure. You play as a custom hero exploring the wild Stolen Lands, building and managing your own kingdom while leading a party of companions. Expect tactical, real-time-with-pause (or turn-based) combat, complex character building with tons of classes/archetypes/feats/spells, branching narratives, moral choices, kingdom management sim elements, and epic quests against bandits, monsters, and ancient threats. It's heavily inspired by classics like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Fallout 1/2, with a focus on role-playing depth, challenging difficulty, and replayability. Key features include: Deep character customization and multiclassing
Party-based combat with strategic positioning and abilities
Kingdom building, events, and management (balance advisors, handle crises)
Rich Pathfinder lore, companions with personal stories, and multiple endings
Enhanced Plus adds QoL like turn-based mode, controller support, new abilities/items, balance tweaks, and more content
It's a love letter to old-school CRPG fans who enjoy crunchy mechanics, long campaigns (100+ hours possible), and high difficulty—though it can be unforgiving if you're new to Pathfinder rules.
