Across the Obelisk for Windows

Roguelike deck-builder game

Across the Obelisk is a premium card game created by developer Dreamsite Games. It is a deck-building game that is set in a fantasy world of men and monsters. Featuring roguelike elements for its gameplay, it provides players with a unique and different experience with each and every playthrough.

Much like Slay the Spire or Darkest Dungeon, Across the Obelisk features turn-based combat gameplay that emphasizes strategy and tactics. With a large roster of characters to choose from players must plan wisely as they face a slew of deadly creatures and monsters on their journey.

Venture into the Obelisk

Across the Obelisk takes place in the dark fantasy world of Obelisk, a land filled with unknown riches and demons that roam and terrorize villages. You will be commanding a team of four heroes who will defend against these fiery invaders. Choose from 16 unlockable characters to either play solo or online multiplayer and have friends control the three other members of your squad.

In addition, there are over 500 cards available to build your deck and upgrade for the battles ahead. Combine them with more than 200 items you can equip your heroes with to create unique builds and take on specific types of enemies. Whether you play alone or with others, cooperation and proper execution of strategies will dictate the battle will go.

Across the Obelisk is built around procedurally generated levels that evolve and change with each playthrough. Complete quests to unlock more paths, and discover hidden. Your choices matter as they will dictate how events will unfold on your journey, so there are many possible outcomes to experience. With that said, however, the gameplay can be rather slow to the point where battles just feel like they're dragging too long.

Could be better

The idea behind Across the Obelisk is a solid one, with plenty of characters to choose from and cards to build your perfect deck with. Sadly, combat in the game is a mixed bag, some will like it, while others won't. It could use a little more variety for its gameplay. In general, though, it's still worth checking and seeing for yourself.
