Face the Whispering Tyrant Beneath the Tower of Darkness in Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors

Monday, August 14, 2023

BKOM Studios and Paizo are thrilled to share that Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors will be launching into Steam Early Access on September 14th. Experience Pathfinder through a whole new lens and oppose the legendary villain Tar-Baphon in this roguelite bullet hell survivor game!

The disgraced lich Tar-Baphon was sealed away beneath his ancient seat of power, Gallowspire, but he has cunningly devised the means for his escape. As the wards that contain him begin to fail, three brave heroes step into Gallowspire’s depths, tasked with battling through his army of undead to put an end to his plans.

Players storm Gallowspire as one of three mighty heroes: Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue. While each has their own strengths and talents that will aid their efforts against Tar-Baphon, the task at hand is too much for a lone hero. Choose an ally to fight alongside you as you slay hordes of enemies, collect and upgrade your arsenal of spells and weapons, and eradicate Gallowspire’s terrifying bosses.

There will be many failures throughout your journey, but aided by a mysterious amulet, you can escape death and grow stronger with each attempt. Only those who find the strength to break through Gallowspire may face the eternal emperor. But one victory will not be enough to seal away the Whispering Tyrant forever. Heroes must confront him again and again to buy the world of Golarion the time it needs to prepare for Tar-Baphon’s seemingly inevitable return.

Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors launches into Early Access on September 14th. Those eager to face Tar-Baphon and his undead legion can wishlist Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors on Steam. Gamescom attendees can be the first to face the Whispering Tyrant with a hands-on demo. Keep up to date with all the information by joining the official Discord server, liking the game on Facebook, and following BKOM Studios on Twitter.

I know a thing or two about launching new projects on that date, as it's my kiddo's birthday, so I take this as an omen that Gallowspire Survivors is going to be great!

I hope it does well for those that like it, but this is a hard pass for me.

Just give me turnbased PF2E gameplay in a video game adaptation of literally any of the APs. Please.

Looking forward to this! I'm glad Paizo is willing to hand out licenses to studios that have ideas for more than just CRPGs, just to have more ways different people with different tastes can experience the IP.
