Yo gamers, buckle up because I just found a deal that's too good to keep to myself! 🎮 If you're like me and still riding the high from finishing Baldur's Gate 3 for the umpteenth time, you're probably itching for another epic CRPG adventure. Well, guess what? Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is currently on a massive 70% off sale on Steam, and the Game of the Year Edition has literally never been cheaper! As of 2026, this is the historical low price according to SteamDB, and the discount runs until January 5th. The base game Enhanced Edition is also on sale, but the real steal is the GOTY bundle, which plummets from $49.99 down to a mere $14.99. That's less than a fancy coffee for what could be hundreds of hours of demon-slaying, mythic-path-choosing goodness!

So, what exactly are you getting for your fifteen bucks? 🤔 This isn't just the base game, folks. The GOTY Edition is a massive bundle that includes:

  • The base game's Enhanced Edition (the definitive, polished version)

  • Five extra DLC packs that seriously expand the world and story

Those DLCs are: Inevitable Excess, Through the Ashes, The Last Sarkorians, The Lord of Nothing, and A Dance of Masks. That's a ton of additional content! For completionists out there, we're talking over 200 hours just for the main campaign, plus dozens more to conquer all the DLC stories. This game is a literal time sink in the best way possible.

Let's talk gameplay. If you loved the deep, tactical combat and rich storytelling of BG3, you'll feel right at home here, but with some fascinating twists. Pathfinder: WotR is a story-focused CRPG at its heart, but it uses the Pathfinder tabletop RPG ruleset instead of Dungeons & Dragons. One of the coolest features? You can choose between two combat modes: classic turn-based (like BG3) OR real-time with pause (like the classic CRPGs). You have insane freedom in character creation with a huge variety of species and an even larger list of classes to pick from. Want to be a kitsune kineticist or a dhampir bloodrager? Go for it! The build possibilities are endless.

The story is another massive highlight. You're thrust into a war against a demonic invasion, and your choices truly matter. You'll meet a cast of memorable companions, each with their own personal quests and arcs. And yes, just like in BG3, you can romance some of them! 😉 The game is all about progressing through main quests and side quests that flesh out this incredibly detailed world.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes this a fantastic BG3 alternative while being its own unique beast:

Feature Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous How it Compares/Contrasts
Combat System Turn-based OR Real-time with Pause More flexibility than BG3's purely turn-based system
Ruleset Pathfinder (1st Edition) Tabletop Rules Different from D&D 5e, offers incredible depth & complexity
Character Builds Massive class/archetype selection, Mythic Paths Arguably even more build variety and power fantasy potential
Scope & Length Colossally long main campaign + DLC Can easily surpass BG3 in total playtime
Story Focus Epic, world-saving crusade against demons Similarly high stakes, but with a different tone and setting

Look, I won't sugarcoat it – WotR can be complex and challenging, especially if you're new to Pathfinder rules. It doesn't have the cinematic polish and seamless presentation of Larian's masterpiece. But what it lacks in that department, it more than makes up for with sheer scale, depth, and player agency. The story is epic, the characters are compelling, and the power trip of choosing a Mythic Path (like becoming a literal Angel, Lich, or Demon) is unmatched.

At this price point in 2026, it's an absolute no-brainer for any CRPG fan. The amount of content you get for less than $15 is frankly ridiculous. Whether you choose to command your party in meticulous turn-based battles or chaotic real-time skirmishes, you're in for an unforgettable journey. So if you've been searching for that next big RPG to sink your teeth into, your search might just be over. Head to Steam before January 5th and grab this legendary deal! You can thank me later after your first 100 hours in the Worldwound. 😎
