Across the Obelisk gets surprise release on Switch

Across the Obelisk, which first came out in 2021, is coming to consoles for the first time – starting with a surprise Switch launch today.

Across the Obelisk is a cooperative deck-building game from Dreamsite Games. With cross-play support, Switch and PC users can form parties and play together.

Here’s a little bit of extra information about the title:

Across the Obelisk is a dynamic rogue-lite game with a unique multiplayer spin on the classic deck-building experience. The game 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. 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.

Dreamsite Games developer Javier de Miguel said today: “We’ve always wanted to evoke the feeling of playing in an RPG party with Across the Obelisk, and now our players will be able to group up with their friends no matter where they play. We want your strategies to focus on building the right decks, not on how to get a party together, so we’re thrilled to be able to offer a completely open multiplayer experience like this. We’re even making it so players don’t have to worry about who’s got which DLC – if you own any of the story expansions for Across the Obelisk, everyone in your party can play through them with you.”
