Steam's high -rating rogue light Across the Obelisk has started quite well after the official release. The more you play, the stronger the party & deck construction RPG
PARADOX INTERACTIVE's new label PARADOX ARC and Developer Dreamsite Games have officially released Across The Obelisk on August 17. At the same time, the number of players in Steam seems to be increasing significantly, and it seems that it is a good start.
Across The Obelisk is a rogue light RPG with deck-building elements. Supports solo or up to four cooperative play. Players select four people from a variety of characters (HERO) to build a party and capture the map.
The number of characters that can be built into the party will increase by unlock. Party members, such as attackers and healers, are also important factors for capture. Since the deck is prepared for each party member, deck management for four people is required during the capture. The deep gameplay, such as selecting each card, is the characteristic of this work. Equipment that can be obtained on the way is also important, and the key to capture is to aim for the synergistic effect with the card. In addition to enhancing cards in the town where the base is, it is possible to upgrade the building to make the capture advantageous. It is also characterized by a system that steadily becomes stronger by upgrading the town.
This work is adjusted with high initial difficulty. On the other hand, depending on the enhancement elements described above and the accumulated player's knowledge, the more you play, the smoother you play. Such a game system can be said to be the characteristic of this work. In addition, it seems that this work is designed so that it can be cleared only with player's knowledge knowledge even in the initial state of the game.
This work was distributed early from April 8, 2021. After an early access period of one year or more, it was officially released on August 17 and the version 1.0 was distributed. Immediately after the official release, the number of simultaneous connection players of this work has increased rapidly. The number of maximum simultaneous connection players on the day, which was around 500 people, quickly exceeded 3,000. After that, the number of players has been increasing to the right, and more than 7,000 players at the peak are playing this work (Steamdb).
In the Steam user review at the time of this writing, this work has won the status of very popular, which is popular with 92 % of 1978. Some of the reviews are compared to the battle system of this work to SLAY THE SPIRE and Darkest Dungeon. On the other hand, it seems that the characteristic elements of this work, such as the four-person party system, the construction of a deck building, and the strengthening elements of the base, are also attractive. Review contributors have many users in play time exceeding 100 hours. It seems that many players have quite long, including the early access distribution period (SteamScout).
This work has been highly evaluated since early access distribution, so many players may have been paying attention. In addition, the number of followers in Steam seems to be increasing rapidly from around April 8, which is the first anniversary of the early access distribution. On April 8, the developer announced a further update plan after introducing the updates for the past year. With such an announcement, the expectations of the user may have greatly increased. Before April 8, the number of followers, which had about 600 people, had swelled to about 10,000 just before the official release. It may have contributed to the increase in the number of players after the official release.
Also, after the official release, it seems that the distribution and video posting on Twitch and YouTube has been increasingly increased. A number of popular YouTube channels, which boasts millions of registrants, have taken up this work, and seems to have played a role in increasing the number of simultaneously connected players.
Across The Obelisk is steadily growing. According to the developer, even after the official release, new characters and cards are being considered. I would like to pay attention to the development of Across the Obelisk in the future.
Across The Obelisk is on sale for PC (Steam).
