Download Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous for macOS

Over 1,000 spells, feats, and abilities sit inside a party-based campaign set around the Worldwound. That is the scale Owlcat Games built into this chapter of the Pathfinder series.

Pick a combat style

Switch between real-time with pause and full turn-based mode whenever a fight starts. One handles trash mobs quickly; the other lets you line up every buff and AoE.

Manage mythic progression

Beyond standard class levels, your character follows a mythic path that reshapes abilities and story beats. Choices here ripple through the crusade and the world map.

Run it on an M1 Air

On macOS Sequoia with an M1 chip, the game runs smoothly enough for an isometric RPG if you cap shadows and keep the resolution sensible around 1440p. The installer just needs to land in the Applications folder.

A morning session, step by step

You fire up the game on a quiet Saturday. The launcher pops, you click Play, and the main menu loads with its familiar orchestral swell. You pick up where you left off: camped on the edge of the Worldwound, party battered but alive.

First, you open the character sheet. Ember needs a new hex, Seelah's lay-on-hands count is low. You swap a few scrolls between companions — the inventory screen sorts itself into grids you already know by touch.

You unpause in real-time and the party marches forward. A pack of dretches ambushes you near a ravine. You tap the spacebar. Combat freezes. Now you queue commands: Camellia casts Barkskin on the frontline, Lann fires a Perfect Strike, your Commander activates Smite Evil. One round resolves. Then another. The turn-based rhythm gives you room to breathe.

After the fight, you loot, save, and Alt-Tab out. A browser window sits open with a build guide. You check a feat interaction, close it, and dive back in. The session stretches two hours without a crash.

Build tinkerers get 25 classes and nine mythic paths

Build tinkerers sink in deepest. If you enjoy poring over class tables, testing feat chains, and re-speccing companions three times before Drezen, this is your sandbox. The 25 classes and nine mythic paths reward system mastery with genuinely different playthroughs — an Angel Oracle feels nothing like a Trickster Kineticist.

Narrative-first players also find a home here. The crusade management layer reads like a visual-novel strategy hybrid, and companion quests branch based on dialogue choices you made hours earlier. You are not just levelling; you are shaping a war council.

Casual CRPG fans who bounced off Kingmaker should know the difficulty sliders are granular. Toggle enemy crits, auto-level companions, or drop the crusade mode to auto — the game bends without judgment.

Drag it to its own desktop for wiki swiping

The game plays nicely with Spaces. Drag it to its own desktop and swipe between a browser full of Pathfinder wikis and the running client. Mission Control keeps the map screen and a Discord window apart without flickering.

If you use a notes app like Obsidian or Apple Notes, you will end up keeping a campaign journal. Quest flags, mythic path prerequisites, which companion reacts to which relic — it all spills out of the game. A second monitor helps, but even on a single MacBook screen, Stage Manager tucks your reference material to the side cleanly.

For those hunting the pathfinder wrath of the righteous mac full version, the DRM-free installer plays well with Time Machine too. Back up the whole thing, restore it later, no launchers or online checks needed.

Good to know: the game supports keyboard shortcuts for most party commands. Bind quick-save to a thumb key using macOS keyboard settings and you will use it constantly.
