Pathway

About

Pathway casts you as a leader of a 1930s desert expedition racing against Nazis to secure ancient relics. Navigate sandstorms and secret tombs using turn-based tactics that mix resource management with squad positioning. Each decision shapes your journey through a world where alliances shift and gear degrades. Combat unfolds in grid-based arenas where outmaneuvering foes matters as much as inventory choices. Between fights, trade supplies, repair kit, and choose which rumors to chase across the Sahara. The game stands out for its pulp-meets-history vibe, blending desert warfare with occult lore. Procedural generation ensures no two trips feel the same, though some players note enemy patterns can grow repetitive after dozens of hours. With 20+ hours of content and a 85% completion rate among completions, it’s a lean but focused adventure. Available on PC and Switch since 2019, it leans into its B-movie charm without overpromising.
