YouвЂ™ll still be fighting as well, but can choose an angle of attack thatвЂ™s presented to you.ДЇor the assault on Drezen, your team of advisors presents you with several options, to simply assault the front gate, to attack a weak point in the wall and aim to kill giants that are acting as demonic artillery, or perhaps to try and sneak through some dungeons and get in behind the demonic battle lines. Where Kingmaker had you ruling a kingdom, this has evolved into the Crusade Commander feature, where you oversee an army, recruiting and upgrading them, capturing strategic points in the world, and more. I say itвЂ™s the opening, but the actual assault on Drezen is still at the end of the gameвЂ™s second chapter and a good 20 hours into the game.Д«y this point you will have assembled a group of heroes to go into battle alongside you and advise you, and this comes into play as you plan your assault. The opening has us fighting to recapture the fortified city of Drezen, reclaiming it from the demons who have ruled there for years. One of the themes running through the game is that of corruption and redemption, the cost of power and the lengths that youвЂ™re willing to go to. Demons can be as war weary and disaffected with their sideвЂ™s actions as the erstwhile heroes can be bloodthirsty maniacs or use dark magics to get ahead. While that might appear to be a classic case of good and evil, there arenвЂ™t those kinds of absolutes. This isnвЂ™t a direct sequel to that game, but set at another point in the fantasy worldвЂ™s history, with a huge war between the invading demons and paladins trying to fend them off.

In particular, one thing that players werenвЂ™t so fond of in Kingmaker was the time pressure that was attached to your kingdom management, and so Owlcat have tried to capture a similar narrative tension in a different way. Oh, and just be more polished in general. The goals for Wrath of the Righteous as a new Pathfinder game is pretty simple: be more epic, be thematically darker than Kingmaker, and make some mechanical changes here and there to simply be a better game.
