I have been on something of a Pathfinder kick these past few months, likely due to a desire for some good old fashioned Dungeons & Dragons-style tabletopping. On top of this itch, I managed to really get the dungeon master itch when reviewing May's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 6 which had me spiraling into the Pathfinder universe. Coincidentally, shortly after Bestiary 6 released, Obsidian Entertainment, studio behind titles you might be familiar with like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Tyranny, Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity also released the Pathfinder Adventures PC game, which is what we are bringing you today, and boy is it great.
Obsidian's card game/RPG Pathfinder Adventures will be coming to PC next month.
When one thinks of Obsidian Entertainment, typically one thinks of sprawling role playing games like Pillars of Eternity and Fallout: New Vegas; games that eat time and tell an engaging story. One tends not to think of a free to play card game for tablets.
The primary drawback of the resurgence of board and card games is that it can be tough to get a full group together. Everybody has their own schedules and needs that it can be exceedingly difficult to get a game on. Fortunately, this renaissance also brings about digital adaptations of the very best. Paizo’s Pathfinder Adventures happens to be one of them. This card based title has managed to gain such a following that even those that don’t follow the genre have heard of it. It was only a matter of time before this one made the jump to ones and zeros. What really brings attention to the title is the fact that RPG powerhouse, Obsidian, is at the helm.
