Battlepaths is fun to a point then it's just meh2 found this helpful
Thought it was strategy turned out it’s chess with swords and medieval rap battles. My soldiers just asked for a raise and a nap.2 found this helpful
Battlepaths is a compact yet surprisingly layered indie RPG that leans heavily into old-school design sensibilities, prioritizing character growth, loot hunting, and repeatable dungeon combat over narrative spectacle. Developed by Key17 interactive and published by Digerati, the game presents itself with modest production values but compensates through mechanical depth and a clear focus on long-term progression. It is a title that knows its audience well, catering primarily to players who enjoy incremental power growth, build experimentation, and the steady rhythm of clearing enemies and improving stats. At its core, Battlepaths revolves around venturing through a series of connected realms, each filled with enemies, treasure, and incremental challenges that slowly escalate in difficulty. The overarching goal is straightforward: grow strong enough to confront the Chaos Overlord, unlocking new areas and tougher encounters along the way. Storytelling takes a back seat to gameplay, serving mainly as a framework to justify exploration and combat.

Cardboard Cutouts Glued to the Screen
It plays like a roguelike, but it's basically just a generic loot-driven RPG. It has really inconsistent balance (scenarios 1 and 2 are really easy, and then scenario 3 killed me a whole lot, for instance) and a bunch of mind-bogglingly bad design decisions, too, like the Halls of Challenge not giving any XP at all. In the end this is a game I can't really recommend to anyone! Go play a good loot-driven RPG (see: Titan Quest, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing), a good turn-based RPG (Avadon or Avernum), or a good roguelike (ADOM, Tales of Maj'Eyal) depending on what made you look at this game. (EDIT: Version 1.7 added the ability to get XP in the Anti Babatula area of the Halls of Challenge, and quite a lot of it. This makes hitting level 35 much more reasonably possible by running through the Anti Goblin Cave a few times, if you're really determined to do that.
