Across the Obelisk News

Hello adventurers!

As you already know, there is no better way to play Across the Obelisk than with your friends!

Since we started designing the game, both of us (Hans and Rhin) always had the idea that this had to be a cooperative game, innovating and introducing the possibility to play with your friends in the rogue-lite deckbuilding genre. Today we can say confidently that we believe Across the Obelisk is the best co-op deckbuilding experience within the genre, and certainly one of the best ways to play the game in any of the modes available is with your friends!

If you agree with this and want to support us, please nominate us for the "Better with Friends" category in the Steam awards by clicking the above button!

We also wanted to tell you that we are continuing to work tirelessly on patch 1.1. Previously, we’ve shown you the Frozen Sewers mini-zone, and today we’re taking the opportunity to give you a preview of the Black Forge and the enemies you will encounter within!

The Black Forge is located inside the Velkarath Volcano, and is one of the mini-zones that will be added in patch 1.1. You may have gone past it (or even taken a brief peek inside) on your previous adventures!

Besides these two mini-zones, we are working on having a number of other things ready for the patch, including full controller support, a combat log of cards played in combat, many new corruptions (and tweaks to the old ones!), new themed weeklies and new cardbacks for each of them, and some other surprises that we will reveal over time!

That's all for today! If you like the game and you haven't already, please leave us a review and don’t forget to vote for the game in the Steam festival!

As always, thanks to all of you for your support, feedback, and understanding!

Hello everyone. This is a fast hotfix to solve some problems that have been reported since we released the patch.

We also want to remind you that "When a hero equips the same item twice, the item will transform into its corrupted version". This info will now be visible when amplifying a card, previously it was only visible through game tips.

Bugs

- There was an issue with some enchantment effects that caused the game to stall.

- Fixed a bug that occurred when amplifying information for items with no rare versions (such as Hero's starter items). 

Besides that, this also fixes some of the small bugs that have been reported.

As always, thanks to all of you for your support, feedback, and understanding.

Hello everyone! This small patch comes with some fixes, QoL and significantly improves performance for some systems. We know some areas (like Faeborg) have been a bit "heavy" in the past with pets, etc., so we've been working on fixing that problem. We are so positive that those of you who had problems will now enjoy a smoother game.

QoL

Corrupted versions of items are now shown in the card screen with amplified information (you can access it by right-clicking any card).

Items

Corrupted versions of "Surprise Box" and "Surprise Gift Box" items have been added to the game.

Bugs

- The gold and shard amounts for madness bases 7 and 8 are now properly granted in co-op games.

- Fixed an issue with the "taunt" message in Aquarfall's combat against the Hydras. 

- Fixed a text issue in the character stats screen that prevented the correct amount of modifiers from being displayed when an item was replaced with its corrupted version. 

- Fixed the "poverty" tooltip to 30% in obelisk and weekly challenge.

- Fixed an issue with shadow clones that caused the game to hang during Hanshek and Archon Nhir's combats.

Besides that, this also fixes some of the small bugs that have been reported.

As always, thanks to all of you for your support, feedback, and understanding.

Hello everyone. With this hotfix we hope to solve the performance problems that Steam Deck and Linux users were experiencing with the latest patch. 

- Fixed the interaction of some perks ("remove Bleed when applying Vulnerable" and "remove Stealth when applying Sight").
- Fixed the rollover effect on characters during combat while the player drags a card.
- Fixed the problem when consulting the Tome of Knowledge section of old runs during combat, which was not showing the items for each character.

Besides that, this also fixes some of the small bugs that have been reported.

As always, thanks to all of you for your support, feedback, and understanding.
