About
Obsidian Prince is quirky tactical, turn-based game that mixes deck-building with deep tactical combat.
Challenge yourself in the roguelike mode or explore the campaign, complete quests, unlock new areas and build & expand your base while pushing back against the threat of the Obsidian Prince.
TACTICAL COMBAT WHERE EVERY MOVE MATTERS
Stay one step ahead of your enemies as you navigate increasingly challenging dungeons. Outsmart foes by carefully planning your moves and abilities, or risk sending another hero to the grave.
GET INSPIRED EVERY TURN
Craft a powerful deck of inspirations to enhance your abilities. Draw three inspirations every turn and activate them by using corresponding skills. Choose your inspirations wisely to avoid cluttering your deck!
EXPLORE A VAST, HANDCRAFTED WORLD
Discover a rich variety of handcrafted areas and add them to your kingdom through unique events where you pick the approach.
Find new allies, uncover hidden dungeons and help the inhabitants of Emalon by solving their quests.
VISIT UNIQUE, RANDOMIZED DUNGEONS
With procedurally generated dungeons created from handcrafted rooms, no two playthroughs will ever be the same. Conquer an array of unique dungeons and locations throughout the realm of the Obsidian Prince.
RECRUIT THE HERO YOU WANT
Each class has it's own set of unique abilities and starting weapons. Choose between the melee focused warrior who charges and stuns or the kiting ranger using their crow as dot damage. Maybe you'd rather set the world on fire with the Candlemage, spread mold to box in enemies with the Mold Druid or sneak up on people to stab them in the back with the very red Rouge?
Choose between 9 distinct classes each with their own backstory that develops as you play and impact each room you enter.
SHAPE THE LIFE OF YOUR HERO
Recruit young hopeful adventurers with unique backstories.
Decide their training and watch how it impacts their abilities.
Continue forging their lifestories through adventures.
Every adventure will change your hero and how you play it.
BUILD YOUR LEGACY
Loot resources, find or unlock building schematics to build a base that offers bonuses, shopping opportunities or new classes. Strengthen your base to aid your heroes on their journey.
ARM YOURSELF TO THE TEETH
Loot, buy or earn powerful new weapons. Each hero comes with 2 starter weapons, but no hero is locked in their weapon choice. Want a ranger with sword and bow, fine! Have you always dreamed of a warrior using traps and a magic staff? Go for it. Discover powerful new weapon combinations and play your heroes your way!
With 17 unique weapons and a ton of powerful artifacts you can create a myriad of creative builds.
CHOOSE YOUR GAME MODE
Select between Roguelike Mode or Campaign Mode, tailoring your experience to your preferences.

A very pleasant surprise of tactics and puzzles. A rouge experience! The music is above average for sure and keeps one interested.
Poor quality Tooltips (if you even get one for anything), no explanations of most things. The basic barebones instructions don't really help playing. Very unbalanced. Several starting level areas will instantly kill you if you're not a warrior. Honestly, feel likes an early access game that was never finished.
I've just gotten started with this, but what a great game so far. Fun and entertaining combat, great music, nice graphics, and a whole bunch more to look forward to. I dig the questing system so far, building...buildings.. And being able to name my character whatever I want. I'll update this review as I play longer, but I just wanted to say first impressions are great.
with some fine tuning and enemy descriptions this game would be a lot of fun. Feels like mindless busywork until you get a broke build and the rest of the classes become worthless. Its close but not fun and becomes boring fast.
A combination of turn-based tactic dungeon-crawler with the ability to build your own hero through card/ability selections and skill selections with additional variations available from specific gear minimalist but expressive graphics allows you to build a deck and character that fits your play-style in fast and small levels
Unique turn-based tactical & deck-building game. Cool mechanics, an overworld packed with easter eggs and fun touches, and some very challenging dungeons. Don't let the cute aesthetic fool you; this is an easy-to-start, difficult-to-master game.
oyunda steam cloud yok oyunu silince yada bilgisayarınıza format atmanız gerektiğinde kaydettiğiniz oyun gidiyo malesef oyun genel itibariyle güzel fakat steam cloud olmadığı için her gördüğümde boşuna oynamıyım diyorum
Such a wicked game, so glad DH.Dunn introduced me to it
Very much a game for people that like silly rogue-likes and witty item descriptions. Seems to be more of a 'choices matter' in that your characters can die if you play a turn wrong and less of a, 'choices matter' in terms of which quests you choose to resolve since saying no just means you can go back and do them at any time. Tried a bit of the campaign mode and the rogue-like mode before deciding it wasn't for me, I didn't enjoy the character training mechanic for campaign mode, nor the building portion. As for the rogue-like mode, seems like it'd be great fun, but ultimately not what I was hoping to get out of the game. Very much just a situation of me not doing enough research and taking the tags at face value.
I can already tell this game has excellent build variety. The devs (only 2 people!!) erred on the side of making very powerful abilities, and powerful enemies: as opposed to what you often encounter, namely a sea of mediocre abilities that barely have any impact and reasonable enemies. The smart humour and good variety of chiptunes were also appreciated. I will update this review as I play further, but the first impression is so incredibly positive that it just really saddened me to see how few reviews are posted.
