Across the Obelisk is a deck-building RPG with cooperative play and rogue-lite features.

Across the Obelisk is a dynamic deckbuilding rogue-lite RPG that challenges players to create a party from a diverse set of characters, engage in tactical card-based combat, and find a unique path across a world that changes in reaction to their decisions.

Choose among 12 unlockable characters and form your party. Each one of them have his own cards, items, mechanics, stats and strengths... it's not the same to play with a fire wizard than a shadow mage, would you play with two healers or rather play with a damage oriented group?

Playable alone or with up to three friends, Across the Obelisk provides a different experience with each playthrough thanks to its branching world paths, highly customizable heroes, hundreds of different cards with variable upgrades, and much more. Each one of you will control a hero in combat but all of you will have to work together and decide what's best for the group... will you help the farmers against a group of small fiery demons or will you search among the ashes for nice loot?

More than 500 upgradeable cards and 200 items to choose, will let you customize your heroes with different builds: poisons, bleeds, defensive skills... there are a lot of combinations that you can apply to each hero.

Each game will be different. Take a path, fight your way through it, complete quests and the world will evolve in front of you. Lots of hidden places and mysteries to be solved await you in Across the Obelisk.

Paradox Interactive announced two new DLC packs will launch next week for Across the Obelisk on PC and Nintendo Switch at $4.99/£4.29/€4.99 each.

Across the Obelisk will receive a new Hero Pack: Nenukil, the Engineer, and a new Story Pack: The Obsidian Uprising, both of which will release on May 15, 2024 on both platforms.

The two new DLC packs allow players to expand both their wealth of gameplay options and narrative experiences, adding a new hero and a new in-game world to their collections. 

Nenukil, the Engineer is a new scout-class hero with a new game mechanic, including a dynamic skin that changes over the course of a game. 

The Obsidian Uprising adds a new story map that takes players back in time 30 years to the dwarven city of Black Forge, discovering a thrilling new chapter in the story of Senenthia and granting access to a customizable new pet. Both packs add more content to the game including new cardbacks, pets, and more.

In addition to the two new DLC packs, a free content update will be available for Across the Obelisk on May 15. This update adds full localization in French and German for the game and all its content, improvements to the game’s sound design, more hero-specific options for narrative events, game balance improvements, and more.
