Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivor is a Bullet Hell Roguelite

You might not put the genre ‘bullet hell’ together with the tabletop-based game Pathfinder. But a new spinoff is in the works called Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivor. This roguelite puts players to the test as they face an immortal villain alongside one trusty companion.

What is Gallowspire Survivor?

Gallowspire is a part of the legendary Pathfinder universe. Players will face hordes of enemies, waves of them. This will require an array of weapons and powerful spells to overcome. Face deadly bosses that only grow stronger with each attempt. Sounds like a challenging time.

Face hordes of enemies as you fight your way to the lich-emperor Tar-Baphon

The world of Golarion is run by a lich-emperor called Tar-Baphon. This villain is one of the most ancient and powerful. Currently, he’s biding his time, sealed away waiting for his time. The wards kept locked away start to fail. It’s up to three courageous heroes to rise up and venture into the depths of Gallowspire. They must defeat Tar-Baphon and seal him once again.

Getting to Tar-Baphon is half the battle. There are hordes of undead and other enemies just waiting to stop these heroes. Simply defeating Tar-Baphon won’t stop him, they will need to face him many times to stall his return as long as possible.

Main Features

Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors lets players choose form one of three classes, Fighter, Wizard or Rogue. Each has its own unique playstyle. But you won’t be going it alone. Players will pick another hero to fight alongside as a companion.

To overcome Gallowspire, players will need to take down all four sections and their bosses. As you defeat enemies, you gain essence to use to upgrade character powers. Experience earned will level up heroes and talent points can permanently enhance them. There seem to be many ways to customise a character’s powers using cards to level up weapons and passives.

Risking life and limb also comes with rewards of treasure, these unlock permanent upgrades. Gallowspire will have you completing quests, defeating bosses and facing the Whispering Tyrant. If you want to up the challenge, there 5 tiers of difficulty. But the quest to Tar-Baphon is endless.

Meet the Heroes

Players will get to choose from three legendary heroes as they take on the tower of darkness:

The Fighter – Build with defense, strength and martial skill. With an array of weapons at hand, and a shield to help defend. This hero is powerful from afar as there are up close.

The Rogue – Using their cunning, agility and elusiveness. A fair fight isn’t what’s on the table, they will use any advantage they have. They can use both martial and magical arts to defeat their foe’s weakness.

The Wizard – Has major damage to deal but is a bit of glass cannon. Fire spells to keep enemies at a distance. Lighting, ice or fire, they can use them elements to best their opponent.

Choose Fighter, Rogue or Wizard to face the depths with alongside a companion.

Choosing a Companion

Your main character isn’t going it alone. Team up with a companion that can be leveled alongside you. They can offer both protection and firepower as you fight through the depths. It will be fun to play a game where survival is key in getting closer to the boss. Unlike the CRPG Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous it will be a duo taking on enemies rather than a group. You can upgrade both classes, your main and your companion each run, without the need to grind each separately.

BKOM have been diving into the Pathfinder universe lately, as they recently launched their Kickstarter for the Action-RPG Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults. It’s doing well reaching over $260,000 USD currently, but still short of its $310,000 goal. The project is roughly halfway through its month, so you can go help back the game.

Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivor doesn’t have a release date yet but will be coming to PC in 2023.
