Pathfinder: Kingmaker 2018

Is it still worth playing?

Owlcat Games' 2018 isometric role playing game based on Paizo's Pathfinder, in which a hero is offered a barony in the Stolen Lands if they can defeat the bandit leader known as the Stag Lord. The hero becomes the ruler of their own kingdom and has to handle threats from neighboring lands, various factions and an otherworldly threat. Combat can be pausable real time or turn based, and you recruit party companions, including established Pathfinder characters and new ones. Realm building is central: settlements can be upgraded from village to town to city, and you assign advisors to kingdom stats, who run projects and handle kingdom events. Crisis Points tokens raise the chance of success. Even now, a kingdom you run through advisors, and combat you can pause or play turn by turn, give you two kinds of decisions to make.
