About This Game

Pathbreakers: Roaming Blades is a turn-based tactical RPG in which you lead a company of mercenaries through the harsh lands of the Stormtossed Isle.
Select one of many origin stories, or create your own and make your mark. Hire your crew, train, and outfit them.
Choose your company’s path and your companions’ future. Will you favor the traditional mercenary life or focus on the lucrative trading opportunities on the Isle and become a renowned businessman? Or, perhaps, you'll don the mantle of a consummate explorer and discover and chart the numerous dungeons and secrets. Then again, why not a mix of it all?

One thing is certain: it'll be a dangerous and bloody journey on the Stormtossed Isle, and you had better prepare your company, and prepare it well. 

The world of Pathbreakers: Roaming Blades consists of a procedurally generated world map teeming with enemies, dungeons, towns, and secrets to discover. Assemble your company and roam the lands, looking for opportunities, fortune, and bloody combat.
Maintaining a mercenary company is costly, so you'll have to earn some coin on the way. Contracts, trading, looting, discovering, and pilfering will all serve you well on that front.
But not everything can be obtained with coin alone, and dangerous dungeons will ofttimes lead you to epic treasures! Select a small elite force from your crew and delve into a dungeon. You will face traps, hidden paths, vicious enemies, and your ever dwindling oil reserves as you explore the darkness, hoping for treasures and renown.

Deploy up to 8 units, each with their own class and skill tree, and engage a variety of enemies intent on seeing your crew lie face down in the dirt. During tactical hex grid turn-based battles, strategy is king, especially when you are fighting against scores of different types of enemies, each with unique abilities and weaknesses that you must be prepared to counter with your party.

• Build your own Company

  Assemble and customize your roster from a selection of 8 classes, each branching to 2 different advanced classes and with their own skill tree. Mercenaries start with background traits and can learn new ones, adding an extra layer of customization.

• Multiple Company paths

  Your company can amass reputation on 3 different fronts: Mercenary, Trader and Explorer. A high reputation grants new opportunities tied to its field. More contracts, trading options, and special commissions become available to those who have proven themselves.

• Never quite the same

  The campaign's open world, dungeons, and most battle maps are procedurally generated, making each new game a different experience. Nothing is ever quite the same and it will keep you on your toes.

• Multiple origin stories

  Select one of many origin stories, or create your own. Each origin character has their own custom plot and story events, with different strengths and weaknesses and different goals and objectives.

• Interesting enemies and tough encounters

  The game features a large cast of enemies, ranging from opposing mercenaries to a multitude of unique monstrous creatures. Enemies have access to their own classes and abilities and understanding them will be a key difference between victory and a shallow grave.

• Dynamic events

  Contracts and story events have multiple resolutions and branching outcomes, never being quite the same from playthrough to playthrough. You'll face some hard choices that will influence how your company is perceived.

• Modding

  Pathbreakers has been designed to be modder friendly. The game features Workshop support, a map editor, a spell editor, and data files relying on easy-to-edit-and-understand json files, which facilitates adding classes, skills, and new languages.
