Evaluation

Across the Obelisk launched on August 16, 2022 and has maintained a prolific, uninterrupted content cadence ever since. The DLC catalogue now spans 15 paid releases, with the most recent — The Shattered Remnant story pack — having shipped on June 17, 2026. Beyond paid DLC, the developer has consistently delivered major free updates, including the Nyrada free hero (February 19, 2026), the Thread of Dreams dungeon zone (September 22, 2025), and the Singularity game mode (January 2025), among others. Most importantly, a developer roadmap published on March 12, 2026 explicitly committed to more free updates throughout 2026, including additional heroes, new game modes, new adventures, and premium DLC. That roadmap was published well before The Shattered Remnant shipped, and the content promised on that plan is clearly still outstanding — the developer described "more ambitious expansions" and additional smaller DLC as goals for the year. The Shattered Remnant launch post (June 17, 2026) also noted that significant technical work was done "to enable future development," indicating the team is actively building infrastructure for what comes next. A bug fix patch on August 6, 2026 confirms the team remains actively engaged. The March 2026 roadmap also disclosed that three new external development studios — Moonmana, Frag, and N-IX — have taken over ongoing development from the original Dreamsite Games team, with the transition described as seamless and already producing new content (Nyrada and Necropolis of the Damned). This is a healthy handoff, not a studio closure, and the new teams have explicitly committed to the roadmap goals. In September 2025, the developer also announced that console updates were suspended so the full team could concentrate on PC development, reinforcing that PC remains the active development priority.

About this game

Team up with your friends and experience roguelite deckbuilding like never before! Craft decks of enormous power and lead your party on a thrilling quest to rescue a realm in turmoil. Choose wisely; your decisions have consequences. Dare you go Across the Obelisk?

  • Plan your strategy, but be prepared to adapt as you encounter procedurally generated events.

  • Build decks from 500+ cards, over 300 items and 16 heroes in four different classes.

  • Take sole control of your party of four heroes, or bring fellow adventurers along for the ride in 2-4 player online co-op.

  • Coordinate your party in tactical combat and experiment with different class combinations for entirely new ways to play.

  • Encounter powerful bosses and navigate events and quests where your decisions affect how the story unfolds.

  • Enjoy endless replayability with three in-depth game modes to master.

Your quest carries great risk: rescue your king’s daughter from the clutches of the treacherous Lord Hanshek before she meets her end. Your party’s fate, and that of Senenthia, is in your hands. How will you proceed?

  • The goal of your quest is set in stone, but there are twists and turns on every path. How will you fare when no two journeys are the same?

  • Your choices matter. Which road will you take this time? Who will you save? Who will you leave behind?

  • Cooperation is vital! Decide together what’s best for your party. Will you help the people of Senenthia on your journey or selfishly search for epic loot?

  • Customize and upgrade your decks by earning XP and unlocking perk points. Tackle four acts - each with its own fearsome boss - but beware of random events on your journey!

  • Build your deck from a vast choice of upgradeable cards and items. New and more powerful combos are yours to discover each time you enter Senenthia.

  • Combine character classes in different ways to find your favorite play style. Will you overwhelm your foes with mighty warriors or use your cunning and employ sneaky scouts?

  • Looking for a tough roguelike challenge? Try obelisk mode. Draft unique decks and embark on a randomized adventure where being prepared for anything is everything!

  • Discover endless combinations of cards, items, heroes and classes. And just as many ways to strategize your way to victory.

  • Regular updates and content drops will keep you coming back to Senenthia time and time again.

  • Want to test yourself against other players? Take on the weekly challenge mode. The deck and map are predetermined; success comes down to your skill.

  • Team up with other players on whichever platform they own, thanks to crossplay.

  • Let your friends follow along on your adventure when Story DLCs you own are shared across platforms with your entire party.

  • “Just one more run.” Enjoy unrivaled variety and endless replayability - Across the Obelisk rewards experimentation and keeps you coming back for more!
