How co-op works
Two to four online players divide control of a four-hero party for the full roguelite run. Each develops a character deck while the group chooses routes and events, then sequences attacks, defenses, healing, and status combinations in shared turn-based battles.
About this game
Across the Obelisk is a cooperative roguelite deckbuilder where up to four players craft powerful card decks and embark on a quest to save the kingdom of Senenthia. Each run presents branching paths, tough choices, and formidable enemies that demand smart deckbuilding and coordinated strategy. While you can play solo, the game truly shines when teammates share the load, bouncing ideas off each other as you shape your party's composition and tactical approach.

The core loop revolves around building synergistic decks for your chosen heroes, making critical decisions at branching nodes, and engaging in deep turn-based combat where every card played can tip the balance. Working with friends adds a layer of live discussion and debate as you plan builds, allocate resources, and respond to unpredictable encounters. That constant communication transforms routine runs into lively collaborative sessions.
Online co-op supports up to four players, making it ideal for friends who want a shared deckbuilding challenge without needing to gather on the same couch. Runs blend planning, adaptation, and teamwork under pressure, rewarding groups that stay flexible and talk through their turns together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Across the Obelisk solo, or do I need friends?
You can absolutely play solo, but the game really shines in co-op. While single-player is fully supported, the deckbuilding and tactical decisions become much more engaging when you're bouncing ideas off teammates and coordinating your party's strategy together.
How many players can team up in co-op?
Up to four players can team up online. There's no local co-op, so you'll need to connect via Steam to play with friends.
How important is communication during a run?
Communication is a big part of the experience. You'll constantly discuss deck builds, debate which path to take at branching nodes, and coordinate card plays during combat. The game rewards groups that talk through their turns and adapt strategies together on the fly.
Does everyone build their own deck, or do we share one?
Each player builds their own deck for their chosen hero. The challenge comes from making those individual decks work together as a synergistic party, which is where the teamwork and discussion really matter.
