A NEW Super ADDICTIVE Game Just Shadow Dropped On Switch | Across The Obelisk!

[@SwitchUpYt]

A Thanks To Paradox for sponsoring this one - if you like the look of it we'll be giving a copy away on Sunday - let us know what you think of it! Mark

[@SiobhanR28]

I cant get addicted to any more games. I dont have the time 😂

[@ataridc]

Good thing about these games is that runs are usually like 40min to an hour in my experience and they tend to fit my adult life well.

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

Persona 5 Royal has consumed all of my free time for a couple of months now... I'm starting to miss other types of games, ngl

[@RolandeRat]

This is exactly my issue 😂

[@InnerRise]

​@@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137 This was me all 2023. I spent the whole year playing nothing else trying to get through that game. Started to resent that game. Can't play another one. I missed out on so many other games

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

@@InnerRise I predict I will end up feeling the same way, but for now I'm committed. Call it sunk cost fallacy; there's no turning back.

[@magimus13]

Randomly saw this on Reddit. My kids are thrilled. They love playing my card based games and one with co-op to boot. Guess I’ll be saving for this next. Keep up the good videos you guys!

[@MrOboliskos]

Bolatro is my favorite deck builder right now. That game is like crack

[@nicked_fenyx]

Such a great game!

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Apparently, PEGI agrees!

[@animefan80rr]

Really loving Gordian Quest as a deck builder, this looks similar to that game with a different art style

[@LazyBoneZone]

Long time subscriber, and watch alot of the videos, this is a game id love to win, its beautiful. I dont often jump into trying to win the games

[@scrabcake7653]

Looks fantastic! Booting up my Switch is like a roguelike in itself, who knows how long I'll be glued to it and risk missing my train stop 😂

[@jesssealey6552]

Saw this game and thought "Yup Mark at SwitchUp would be keen". Hope those who pick this up enjoy. Cheers Gents! PS. Man the art style is awesome and the card design gives off Heartstone vines. Hearthstone meets Darkest Dungeon, nice 👌

[@DB-vi7jb]

Thanks to you guys, I fell in love with Wildfrost my first deck builder. And now, I will definitely fall in love with Across the Obelisk.

[@David-kb8vh]

I do love a good card based game. Been stuck play balatro lately. So addicting and hard to put down.

[@Jokes4561]

Been waiting for this to come to switch for ages. Amazing news!

[@stevereeves6971]

I’m normally not a deck builder guy but this actually looks pretty fun. Thanks for the review guys.

[@danberry746]

Ooo another addictive game that’s right up my street!!

[@OhSoVeganFamily]

Love the art style of this one! Haven't heard of it before but it looks so addictive.

[@geordienumber9s2]

This looks and well worth a try. The story mode gameplay seems like darkest dungeon with cards and if the music is anything like moonlighter I am all for it.

[@NEOGEOMVS]

So Slay the Spire with friends? Say no more 😁

[@KoalaYummies123]

Played the heck out of this on PC. I love Slay the Spire, and this is different enough to make it worth the while. The party system, the different class synergies, tactical decisions, and build options are super engaging. Excited to see it come to switch!

[@gt3racer2187]

This looks pretty good. I’ve been obsessed with Balatro lately. I’ve logged over 80 hours in the last 2 weeks.

[@killkenny3720]

This looks like a lot of fun 🎉. Great overview and quick turnaround lads 👍

[@geordienumber9s2]

This looks well worth a try. The story mode gameplay seems like darkest dungeon with cards and if the music is anything like moonlighter I am all for it.

[@queqhoirul3048]

Ahh.. Another addicted games. I'm better off clear my games backlog some more but this game looks fantastic.

[@demitriustorres7804]

Always wanted to get into a new card game strategy. This one looks great! Thanks for the video

[@nuggethumanperson5566]

This looks fantastic. My current favorite deck builder is Roguebook and Dungeon Drafters is growing on me

[@melaniapina6368]

Very interesting! Going straight to my wishlist 😊 but I’m waiting for better times to buy it 😅

[@Glostlyn]

I normally don’t like card games, because it’s such a chore to remember the cards and make decks. But this one seems simple enough plus I do love choose your own adventure stories.

[@DarkBaseCoffee]

Darkest Dungeon + Slay the Spire + Co-op, definitely giving it a try whenever I can get it on sale!

[@antiadam666]

This reminds me of puzzle quest, used to be obsessed with that game loved it ot so much, even have it on switch! I am definitely wanting to pick this up and playing it :)

[@WardRB]

i picked up roguebook on sale last week, and am absolutely addicted to it. such a good game, and getting the complete edition for just over 3 bucks was a steal. across the obelisk is looking pretty good too, definitely looking to pick this up sometime.

[@BradleyBartlett-s5x]

Thanks for the sponsored review, I would love to add this to the backlog! It would make an excellent birthday gift 😂🎉! My favourite deck builder is the classic, Slay the Spire!

[@jongrubbdesign]

I have been intermittently watching streamer VODs of Across the Obelisk, for a while, and I was really hoping that they would release it on Switch! I am definitely adding it to my wishlist! 🤩

[@SwitchUpYt]

Very fun game! Mark

[@richardnorton316]

This looks more enjoyable than most of the recent deck builders I've seen might have to give it a go

[@xboultby2020]

This game looks gorgeous, I’m a sucker for this sort of artwork. Slay the Spire on steroids? Count me in! Definitely adding to my ever growing wish list 😂

[@nclsytb]

This game is on my Steam wishlist for so long. I was only waiting for it to be released on Switch as I don’t need a steam deck. Definitely my next buy 😍

[@204017754]

How have I not heard of this game?!?! I love Slay the Spire!

[@Omusicsam4O]

Ooh, I love deck builders. This looks really nice. I love the twist of paying with a few characters!

[@andylee1982]

I thought i would love this but it is much more complicated than STS etc. Maybe it would be better docked but theres so much tiny nformation on screen and in menus that its hard to work out in handheld.

[@cleftboywonder]

You can scroll over with the right analog stick inorder to read the information

[@Deccaman001]

Oh my god! I love slay the spire!! Across the Oblisk look and sound amazing. I can't wait to play it. Give me more of these games please.

[@mattrose4154]

I just got in to Slay the Spire. Not my usual type of game but someone recommended it to me. I’m freaking loving it. Sinking some hours in to jt. And now I’m pretty pumped for this. Never knew I’d be in to a deck building games…but you never know till you try.

[@cleftboywonder]

What a lovely review thanks so much for posting

[@Makotae777]

Steamworld quest and Slay the Spire are some of my favorites, looks like I will have to add this to that list!

[@UndeadEggmiester]

These games are really popular. Favorite deck builder is Yohane the parhelion- numazu in the mirage-. The production value, along with game play and replayability, is insane

[@magimus13]

I tried the demo and it seemed rather bland and boring. Does it get better outside demo? It was like the same monster each round and felt like a cut and paste without much variation.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

@@magimus13 it was more then one enemy and yes it does. Also I'm not sure what you expected from a one stage demo But if you didn't like the gameplay then the game isn't for you.

[@danielfelipe9233]

Love this spotlight videos. Keep up the great work! Congratulations in advance to the happy winner.

[@Return_of_the_Matt]

Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this one. I have been this excited to try a new game in awhile.

[@DwightFisher-jj5bt]

Looks amazing! Thanks very much for the video

[@Ray__E]

I need to get my addiction in check. The backlog is screaming for relief. Looks like I'll be wish listing this one

[@ZamWeazle]

You got these forgotten ones? DungeonTop? Castle Morihisa? Floppy Knights? Deck Of Ashes? Nowhere Prophet?

[@TravDadGamer]

DungeonTop is definitely a hidden gem

[@ZamWeazle]

@@TravDadGamer It is, everyone forgets that one.

[@baratacom]

That looks mighty interesting and definitely one big step closer to the Pokémon TCG card RPG feel I've been chasing for years

[@generic3592]

I do hope they make a physical version of this. I got slay the spire and played it for about 150hours while i was underway. Shared it around the boat and people were addicted.

[@arbitrarynightjar2788]

It looks awesome! I'm excited to play it! Especially the roguelike mode!!!

[@nickh3922]

Love deck building games. Hundreds of hours on slay the spire, monster train, castle morihisa, and the like. Looking forward to giving this one and Balatro a try next. Need to find the time though.

[@thanhvt2707]

Thanks, I have to try the first one. 😄

[@sharebear421]

How long is the game in terms of one run and beating it and how much variety is there in enemies and areas?

[@alpgo8301]

Thank you for the review. I love Slay the Spire and many other deck builders, but Coop is new to me in this genre, and I look forward to it. I will put it on my wishlist now :D

[@Lostinthetrench]

Slay the spire was amazing. Lighting in a bottle good.

[@Am2woods]

I might try this one out. I found out about that Pirates Outlaws game from this channel and that ended up being my most played game on the switch last year

[@williammitchell116]

So many great deckbuilders out there! How to choose a favorite? Overall has to be Slay the Spire. But underrated is Banners of Ruin. Newest is Cobalt Core. Complex is Gordian Quest. And plain fun is Monster Train. Other greats are Dungeon Top, Griftlands, Roguebook, and Castle Morihisa. I've had fun with all of them!

[@BunchaNothin]

Slay the spire is a good reminder for me that I shouldnt just judge a book by its cover. There are games where the aesthetic turns me off, but ends up being an incredible game. There are many games I wouldnt have given a chance unless videos like this show me whats great about it.

[@danielalexandre89]

Physical release when?

[@kcadventures1454]

After playing the VR GAME demeo, i have found thay I love deck building games! This game looks perfect for the switch.

[@NeonVistas]

Good gawd!!! First Crypt Stalker and now Across the Obelisk!!! You blokes are kicking into high gear with all these niche game recommendations! My poor wishlist / backlog is only going to continue to become bloated but man is this card games battler look and play sooooooooooooo good!!!🔥 🔥 🔥

[@anixi85]

Steamworld quest is fantastic

[@GeminiSunrise06]

Hidden gem 😍

[@chasonlapointe]

I've never been tempted by a deck builder before, but that looks quite nice. I may have to grab a copy!

[@rev661]

Never played a deck builder computer game, but this looks fun. Last deck builder I played in real life was Xena - only 25 years ago!

[@adamwragg4606]

Looks great I need to add it to my wishlist! I'd say the deck building game I played in the witcher I think it was

[@Ken-yg2nr]

You guys need to change your name from switchup to brokeup because you guys are making me broke from wanting me to buy so many games lol. I enjoyed slay the spire and it looks like I would enjoy this one to. Will have to try to scrape up some change 😂

[@waynepolo6193]

Remember seeing my brother spend hours on Slay the Spire on gamepass. Giving me a compelling argument to spend hours on it on Switch…

[@mrray3389]

Well this just looks awesome! Thanks for the awesome review.

[@alexcrowhurst]

This looks great! Will definitely need to check this out

[@nekocat2413]

I think this game is really good :) my one favorite deck building game is Roguebook, I discoverd this game by you're channel :)

[@AntonyTracoshas]

The art work looks the bee's knee's 🐝

[@r_apt_ure]

Shadow Complex needs a port to switch. I'd love to have that one physically.

[@alesjanosik1545]

I'll watch the review tomorrow, have had this on Steam wishlist for a while but would be better on Switch.

[@rubencamps6689]

Well this came a surprise. Very well implemented card game. Also the cartoony/shell shaded graphics suits the playstyle very well. Possible pickup for my underway train to work experience 😃.

[@Food4Dogs]

I absolutely Do Not need (cough ..) another addictive deck builder right now! 😄 But I know my willpower will crumble, inevitably. 😉 I became really fond of RogueBook a while ago - not as stellar as Slay the Spire but incredibly likeable and I found it, yes, addictive.

[@Apache-Helicopter]

Balatro and now this. GREAT!

[@alexanderl.malmros2907]

Never was a fan of deck-builders (except for Gwent which was the best thing about Witcher 3) but after having spent the last week playing Slay the spire I am hooked. So definitely picking up this one!

[@steve5by5]

Looks gorgeous. And might get me away From pirate outlaw for a bit lol

[@dancinrobotninja6342]

This game looks great, I've been playing griftland recently been loving the mix of RPG and deck building really recommend it, keep up the good work lads

[@nicknorris4488]

I love deck builders a lot. Weirdly didn’t catch the Balatro train with everyone else. I prefer stories with my games.

[@nicked_fenyx]

Nice. Balatro has been doing a terrific job of filling that "Slay the Spire" itch lately, but as a fan of the genre I may add this to the rotation just to try it out. I can't honestly see anything beating Balatro anytime soon (there's a reason so many are calling it their GoTY).... but just because this one likely won't be "best" doesn't mean it can't be "good," or even "great." Here's hoping!

[@IowanPunch]

Been a big fan of Slay the Spire for a couple years, but currently Balatro is the go to deck builder for me. Just saw this and it won't be long before I'll be checking it out too.

[@yaldash3592]

ooh nice I've been looking for a deck builder to try out

Never played a deck builder before, but there is always a first time for everything

[@christophernelson94]

Slay the spire is mine. Wildfrost is also pretty fun.

[@zizzlerizzle8707]

havent played many deckbuilders but I really like the look of this one. RIP backlog!

[@FlamingQueen666]

Looks really good Slay the Spire is my fav deck builder

[@Moofahsuh]

As someone who spent countless hours playing slay the spire and has a baby at home, I don't think I can get addicted to another game 😂

[@ataridc]

Already had my eyes on this and Dungeon Drafters. Heard good things about both.

[@sevensyns7732]

Inscryption is the only deck builder that has kept my interest but always in the market for a new one.

[@mattiasboden2329]

Steamworld quest is a fun deck bilder :)

[@jon_doe17]

I heard of this one a while ago, AmbiguousAmphbian made a video about exploiting the block mechanic. Would be cool if you choose me. Maybe you could make a video about Switch games with touch controls. My favorite deck builder has to be Inscrypytion without a doubt, that game has a vibe to it like nothing else.

[@daguinee]

yup. this looks really interesting

[@Aura-Of-Syrinx]

I somehow missed this dropping. Need to add it to the collection eventually with Slay the Spire, Mosnter Train, and Balatro

[@Joehamer8]

This looks great. Really liked slay the spire. Only played on Xbox/cloud gaming on my phone before it was on switch

[@oliviercrenier3184]

I was addicted to Slay the spire and right & Down … and now I m already addicted to suika game and Baratro… no more time for a new addiction

[@chriscleveland9203]

Still hooked on balatro!

[@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera]

Do you need to know how to play poker to play that game? I know the basics of poker, but I'm still learning.

@@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera if you know the basics you should be just fine!

​@chriscleveland9203 Nice. Thanks I might check it out.

[@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera]

@@chriscleveland9203 I'm so happy I brought this game. It's very addictive.

[@LoloandMo]

@@stuckinthe90sThegoldenerano you don’t really need to know how to play, there’s also a menu you can pull up that explains the different types of hands that you can play. I’m having a blast with it. Highly recommend!

[@savantlibrarian]

Cool I love deck builders ever since slay the spire, rogue lords, cobalt core, rogue book, cardopaplse, monster train, and yugioh ones! Currently addicted to balatro!

[@ZamWeazle]

Rogue Lords a deckbuilder?

[@Shopokun]

This looks so damn good! I cannot believe I didn’t know about it sooner. Want it so bad! Love playing Magic The Gathering Arena but this looks so fun!

[@ejaguilar9160]

My current fave deck builder roguelike is from a mobile phone - Dawncaster

[@ZamWeazle]

Played Breach Wanderers on mobile? I consider that as good as Dawncaster. Btw played Slice & Dice 3.0 yet?

[@jordanduggie1196]

Looks amazing! Played plenty of card games in my time - Gwent, Hearthstone, Marvel Snap, Legends of Runeterra - but don't think I've ever played one like this, at least not with a Roguelite element. Banging!

[@simonbranton5562]

Loved slay the spire demo but couldn’t afford the game! This looks just as good! Another add to the wish list

[@ZamWeazle]

Demo? On Switch? STS is a cheap game
