Development

The game is a sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the previous RPG of the same developer, but it does not follow the same story. The sequel builds on the engine from Kingmaker to address concerns raised by critics and players, and expands additional rulesets from the tabletop game, includes new character classes and the mythic progression system.[1] Owlcat launched a Kickstarter campaign in February 2020 to raise additional development funds for the title.[2] The Kickstarter successfully raised over US$2 million of its requested US$300,000, allowing for several stretch goals to be added during development.[3] Like its predecessor, Wrath of the Righteous follows an Adventure Path of the same name, which was originally published in August 2013.

Reception

The game received generally positive reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[4]
