I recently have been playing Across The Obelisk and I have been having a blast with the game. The game is basically a mix of Slay the Spire roguelike deckbuilder battles and Dungeons and Dragons.
Instead of controlling just one character like in Slay the Spire, you control 4 characters each with different cards to choose from.
The game has four different classes(Tank, Mage, Scout and Healer) with 4 unique characters for each class with a total of 16 unique characters.
You also have progression elements such as perks and town upgrades which persist after every run.
The best part of the game is that it has upto 4 player co-op multiplayer where each person can play a single character.
It is extremely fun playing this with friends. You can also play with just two or three friends and in that case you have each person or one person control two characters.
BTW, Across the Obelisk is currently on sale on Steam in case anyone is interested in it.
What games have you played recently?
Think my main issue was mostly getting into it as in the world. The intro's cool and then you're just thrown in, not knowing anything and where to go and I got lost a bit.
Thanks for the headsup on the difficulty. I'll give it another shot at some point and I'll go like....normal difficulty or something.
There isn't much in terms of hand holding, that is for sure. If you want an easier first go at it, whilst still having a chance at experiencing all the game has to offer, I would go with the following custom difficulty settings (tweak these in the Settings or similar named menu BEFORE starting a new game):
Hunger speed: 50%
50%
100%
50%
150%
50%
50%
100%
Food value: 200%
50%
50%
150%
150%
Damage received: 50%
100%
I left in three of the names so that you can make sure you got them right.
As for what and how to do things, always check your map for icons of interest and if you have any, go there and check it out (also, talk to people, and actually read what they say, loot trash bins and trash cans, trade with kids, and so on). There are guides out there (reddit, gamefaqs) for details on the survival aspects as well as on what to do and on which day. If you do not mind checking some out that will definitely help. If you don't like using guides, here is a quick list of hints on what you can do on day 1 (if you pick up any quests do them as soon as you can of course):
Your dad's house; Soul-and-a-Half Fortress; Bad Grief; Shelter / Lara Ravel; Ferrymen for fast travel; Fat / Big Vlad around 8 pm; Broken Heart Pub (twyrine can give you more icons on the map, but check the description to see if it is worth consuming at the given moment); the "bizarre creature" if you have the icon for it; when you get the message that the day is over (midnight) go to the Theatre and watch the performance (new one every midnight); Dead Item Shop.
This should get you going.
That is actually quite in depth. Thank you for the hints, I'll see that I actually start the game now as I have been quite curious for a while, just never fully played it.
