    Pathway offers a lot of content. The first hours aren´t easy to get in but highly addictive. The art direction and sound are marvellous too. But after the first impressions, the game becomes a bit repetitive and seems slightly unfinished. Fans of Indiana Jones will cheer!

    Positives

    -Novel Idea -nice story -lovely old school visuals Negatives -Gets repetitive fast -Characters have fixed skills and or perks which means you end up getting the same 4 people all the time(unless rng dosent give you the other 2 you want) -Game is short -Despite gearing your heroes with teh best items when you find them during a stage they have the starter gear    Positives

    Negatives

    -Gets repetitive fast
    -Characters have fixed skills and or perks which means you end up getting the same 4 people all the time(unless rng dosent give you the other 2 you want)
    -Game is short
    -Despite gearing your heroes with teh best items when you find them during a stage they have the starter gear
    -Various "Instances" are 8 9 and they also get repetitive after a while eg truck appears follow or not etc and the outcomes are the same 2 always(either negative or positive)
    -You might finish all 5 campaigns and never find a legendary or epic weapon despite exploring every single stop at the map or you might start a single campaing and end with 2 3 legendaries
    -some weapons are totally useless,and i mean useless,even an epic zapper or whats its name does underwhelming dmg whereas with a knife you can kill an enemy in full armor and hp

    Its a diamond in the rough,With a bit more love this could be an awesome game,but the repetitiveness of it leaves you with a bitter experience at the end.If you find it for 7-10 bucks get it otherwise move on    … Expand

    Needs more content, gets boring easily, too repetitive, it needs more options and differences between fights and events.

    Great tactics RPG its simple to follow but hard to master. Lots of characters, nice pixel graphics and a cool story in the style of Indiana Jones.

    Good 8 bit game , procedural, with modern gameplay.
    Entertaining, simple to play and learn, low demanding, turn based rpg-adventure that takes inspiration from indiana Jones setting (Nazi, Mystery, Ancient artifacts with strange properties, Pulp Adventurers...) .
    It is not one of those games that you'll play for days......it could be repetitive ....but it is perfect to play (unnoticed)    Good 8 bit game , procedural, with modern gameplay.

    Ótimo RPG, jogabilidade simples mas que faz você quebrar o coco com as situações, finalizar os inimigos rápido ou ser furtivo, várias opções de estratégia, grande jogo.

    this game would've been pretty good if it wasn't for the amount of repetitiveness in the game itself, every single time in a round you click on a spot, you don't know whether if it will be an attacking spot or not, and every time it is, it doesn't give a feeling that you would keep going and going forward, which makes you close the game.

    the beginning starts off REALLY good, but when    this game would've been pretty good if it wasn't for the amount of repetitiveness in the game itself, every single time in a round you click on a spot, you don't know whether if it will be an attacking spot or not, and every time it is, it doesn't give a feeling that you would keep going and going forward, which makes you close the game.

    Pretty fun for a short period of time, but after that it gets tedious and boring very fast.

    An enjoyable game that leaves you longing for a bit more depth and complexity. While it may feel like it’s a missed opportunity at a great concept, it may yet turn out to be a real gem.

    Even a great setting can’t save the game that’s mediocre in every other regard. [Issue#238, p.46]

    Pathway is an aesthetically gorgeous tactical roguelike that feels oversimplified and never achieve the right level of engagement or strategic depth.
