Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous 2.7.0y — Mac version

The character builder alone holds more than 1,000 spells, feats, and abilities. It's a big box of Pathfinder rules applied to a classic isometric CRPG about a world buckling under a demonic invasion.

Mythic paths and 10 companion quests

• Party-based tactical scraps in two flavours: real-time with pause or full turn-based mode.
• Nine mythic paths that reshape your commander into an angel, lich, trickster, and more.
• Over ten written companions, each with their own quest lines and opinions on your choices.

Intel-only build, dense Pathfinder rules

• Built for Intel Macs only — 64-bit x86, no native Apple Silicon support listed.
• The ruleset is dense. Newcomers should expect to read tooltips.
• Voice language is English; interface supports Russian, German, Spanish, French, and Simplified Chinese.

Local saves, no iCloud or Game Center

This one sits outside the normal Mac ecosystem — no iCloud saves, no Game Center hooks. Save files live in a local folder you can back up with Time Machine or copy to another machine. If you run Karabiner-Elements or a custom keyboard layout for the F‑keys, test it early — the hotbar leans on F1 through F12 and the occasional modifier combo.

Voice chat apps like Discord work fine alongside it, but the game likes the CPU's full attention. On an Intel Mac you'll want to close Xcode, large Photoshop files, or anything chewing through background threads. If you use Magnet or Rectangle for window snapping, disable shortcuts that overlap with the pause key — the game expects a clean space bar.

Runs on M-series Macs via Rosetta 2

Does it run on Apple Silicon at all? Yes, through Rosetta 2. The build is Intel‑only, but every M‑series Mac with Rosetta installed handles it. Expect the fan to wake up on fanless Airs during larger battles — that's normal, not a fault.

What's the disk footprint after the installer finishes? The download is chunky, and the installed game lands somewhere north of 40 GB once all the optional voice packs and extra content unpack. If you're tight on space, install to an external SSD — USB‑C enclosures work fine, just avoid slow USB 2 thumb drives.

Can I switch between turn‑based and real‑time mid‑fight? Yes. Tap T to flip modes whenever you like. Most players explore in real‑time then toggle turn‑based the moment a serious enemy group appears. The game remembers your preference per encounter.

What about mods on macOS? Mod support is unofficial. The Unity Mod Manager works through a manual install if you're comfortable dropping files into the app bundle. Not every mod built for Windows carries over cleanly, but quality‑of‑life tweaks like buff‑bot automation often do. Keep a clean backup of the unmodded app before you experiment — you'll thank yourself later.

Workflow: building a mythic commander in five minutes

1. Pick a class that fits your mythic path. If you're leaning toward Lich, a sorcerer or wizard merges spellbooks beautifully. Angel suits a cleric or oracle. Think about synergy before you commit — respecs exist but cost in‑game gold.
2. Set ability scores with the final mythic bonuses in mind. Some paths give permanent stat boosts around mythic rank three. Don't over‑invest in a single attribute at character creation if your path will top it up later.
3. Choose skills and a background that match the party role. Persuasion opens dialogue options no other skill can reach. If you plan to use the trickster path, mobility and trickery become combat tools, not just out‑of‑combat checks.
4. Start the prologue and play in turn‑based mode for the first few fights. The shield maze teaches positioning. Use the five‑foot step (hold Shift) to pull casters out of melee range without triggering attacks of opportunity.
5. Save before the first mythic choice and experiment. The game forks hard at mythic rank one. Make a hard save labelled "MYTHIC BRANCH" and try two different paths for twenty minutes each — the story tone shifts dramatically, and you'll know which one you want to live with.

Troubleshooting tip: if the game window goes black after switching to desktop and back, toggle fullscreen off then on with Cmd+F — it usually shakes the renderer awake without a restart.
