The age of Pathfinder videogames seems to be upon us. Following solid CRPG Kingmaker and its sequel Wrath of the Righteous, just recently we saw the announcement of action-RPG Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults. And joining the party very soon, from the same developer as Abomination Vaults, is Gallowspire Survivors—the biggest divergence from the tabletop game yet. Launching in Steam Early Access on September 14, it combines the setting of Pathfinder with the gameplay of Vampire Survivors.
After picking one of three classes (the classic Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard), you're dropped into a dark dungeon full of undead endless swarming towards you. As in Vampire Survivors, your attacks are automatic, big sweeping strikes or far-reaching projectiles that are determined by the weapons you pick when you level up. The goal is to find the best combinations and buff yourself up as much as possible, to give yourself the strongest chance of surviving the game's eventual boss fights.
