Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Raises $2 Million on Kickstarter

Gone are the days when it was commonplace for video game developers to raise millions of dollars on Kickstarter: Wrath of the Righteous shows. This is Owlcat Games' next project, a top-down RPG using the same setting and rules as Pathfinder: while Kingmaker raised $900,000 in crowdfunding three years ago, Wrath of the Righteous raised $2 million before campaign closed.

Wrath of the Righteous promises to be a dark and harrowing tale of a demonic invasion. It can also be a laiche. Instead of managing a kingdom, he would be in charge of a crusade and put the officers within it in charge of their work.

The stretch goal set at $2.1 million was not met, but there is a slacker-backer option for those who did not make it, and the dinosaur and hunter classes could still be unlocked. Many of the stretch goals achieved will add mounted combat, dismemberment, warpriest and skald classes, evolving animal companions, additional attack animations, Heroes of Might & Magic 3-inspired tactical battles, and additional romance options.

The game will also allow players to choose between turn-based and real-time/pause-based combat.
