Obsidian Prince

Obsidian Prince is a turn-based tactical game that combines deck-building with combat. In the world of Emalon, the Obsidian Prince cheats death and fractures the boundaries between dimensions, allowing horrors from other planes to threaten the realm. You lead heroes through dungeons and quests, build and expand a base, and push back against the threat of the Obsidian Prince.

Combat and inspirations

You navigate increasingly challenging dungeons, planning moves and abilities to outmaneuver enemies. Each turn, you draw three inspirations from your deck and activate them with corresponding skills. Craft your deck carefully to strengthen your abilities without cluttering it; poor planning can cost a hero their life.

The world of Emalon

Explore handcrafted areas and add them to your kingdom by choosing how to approach unique events. You can find allies, uncover hidden dungeons and help Emalon’s inhabitants by completing quests. Dungeons are procedurally generated from handcrafted rooms, so their layouts vary between playthroughs.

Heroes and their stories

Recruit young adventurers with distinct backstories, then choose their training and see how it affects their abilities. Their life stories develop through their adventures, which shape each hero and how you play them. The game has nine classes, each with its own abilities, starting weapons and backstory that develops as you play and affects the rooms you enter. Classes include the melee-focused warrior, the kiting ranger who uses a crow for damage over time, the Candlemage, the Mold Druid and the Rouge, who sneaks up on enemies to stab them in the back.

Weapons and equipment

Heroes are not locked to particular weapons. Each starts with two weapons, and you can loot, buy or earn others to create different combinations. The game includes 17 weapons and a range of artifacts for building your heroes to suit your approach.

Build your base

Loot resources and find or unlock building schematics to expand your base. Its buildings provide bonuses, shopping opportunities or access to new classes, helping your heroes on their journeys.

Game modes

Choose between Roguelike Mode and Campaign Mode. In Campaign Mode, you explore the world, complete quests, unlock new areas and build up your base while confronting the threat of the Obsidian Prince.
