The world of Senenthia is about to get a whole lot darker. Fans of the fantastic co-op roguelite deckbuilder, Across the Obelisk, can sharpen their blades and shuffle their decks because the new Necropolis of the Damned DLC is set to launch on December 2, 2025!
This dark fantasy horror-themed expansion promises to be the most chilling journey yet, swapping the familiar Act 4 for a cursed new path.
A Cursed Kingdom Awaits in The Dusk Lands
Forget The Void—your party is now heading into a gothic nightmare. The Necropolis of the Damned introduces The Dusk Lands, a brand-new, alternate Act 4 zone.
Once a thriving kingdom, this land is now tainted by a desperate pursuit of immortality, leading its rulers, the Count and Countess, down a dark path. Expect to traverse cursed forests and blood-soaked halls, facing three new mini-bosses and a terrifying new final boss waiting at the end of this grim tale.
This new zone isn’t just a cosmetic change; it’s a completely new narrative and a new ending that promises to twist the fate of Obelisk forever.
New Heroes, Darker Power
What’s a dark new chapter without powerful new heroes to wield the shadows? The DLC introduces two formidable multiclass heroes, each bringing unique and complex mechanics to your party composition:
1. Velarion, the Blood Mage
- Role: Blends Healer and Mage roles.
- Specialty: Velarion specializes in bleed and leech curses. He is a master of dark support, utilizing his own spellcasting to amplify the crippling effects of his curses on enemies. Get ready for some high-synergy, dark-magic builds!
2. Nevermoor, the Death Knight
- Role: A powerful Healer-Warrior hybrid.
- Specialty: Nevermoor introduces a new rune-based system. Actions like attacking, defending, and healing generate different colored runes. These runes grant distinct buffs and effects, meaning your combat flow will be key to maximizing his power and keeping your team both alive and offensive.
Infusions, Leeches, and More!
The introduction of these new heroes comes with intriguing new combat mechanics that are sure to shake up the meta:
- Infuse (Aura): Expect a new type of persistent, beneficial effect your characters can use to empower themselves or their allies.
- Leech (Curse): This new type of curse will allow you to drain power, life, or other resources from your enemies, fitting perfectly with the dark theme of the Necropolis.
On top of the mechanics, the DLC brings with it a host of new cards, equipment, and pets to unlock, ensuring countless new build possibilities and greater replayability for veteran players.
A Free Update for All!
If you’re not ready to delve into the Necropolis just yet, the launch of the DLC is accompanied by a free update for the base game that all players can enjoy!
The highlight of the free update is the new Practice Mode. This safe environment allows you to test any card combo, deck configuration, or experimental setup without risking your resources or run progress. It’s a fantastic addition for theory-crafters and anyone looking to master the game’s deep deckbuilding elements.
The Verdict
