- Players looking for multiplayer or large-scale party systems may find the adventure's scope too small.
Our take on PATHS OF VALOUR
The range of towns, maps, and monster types suggests a broad adventure, but the campaign is still limited to 8–10 hours and uses a simple story. AutoCommand also comes with an explicit warning: its decisions can be reckless or unreasonable, which matters when relying on automated actions.
What is PATHS OF VALOUR?
Play as a hero who recruits companions for a journey against the Demon King.
This 2D pixel RPG uses turn-based combat, random encounters, side quests, character costumes, fishing, and mining. The campaign lasts 8–10 hours and covers 7 towns, more than 10 battle maps, and over 90 monster types.
