Pathway

Pathway is a turn-based strategy game set in a pulp-adventure version of 1936. As Nazi influence spreads across Europe and the Middle East, rumors tell of secret excavations, mysterious artifacts and occult rituals. You assemble a team of adventurers and travel through the deserts of Northern Africa, exploring bunkers and temples to uncover their treasures and secrets before Nazi forces can claim them.

Campaigns and encounters

The game has five campaigns with varying difficulty. On the way to each mission objective, your team travels across a randomized map and encounters brief, hand-crafted story events. These present choices, such as whether to search a well or save villagers, and require you to weigh the risks. Missions can be replayed at any time, with a new series of events on each attempt.

Turn-based combat

Squad skirmishes focus on cover, positioning and flanking. You can use each team member’s special abilities, skills and equipment to turn battles in your favor. The 16 unlockable characters have individual skills and quirks that can affect both combat and story encounters.

Loot and upgrades

You can trade high-value loot to upgrade your team’s arsenal with increasingly rare weapons and armor. Experimenting with different team combinations gives you new ways to take on the enemy.

Pixel art and soundtrack

Pathway uses classic 16-bit pixel art enhanced with depth, lighting and shadows through Pixel/Voxel Hybrid Technology. Its soundtrack is composed by Gavin Harrison, known for Halfway.
