The balancing of the roguelite deckbuilding is fairly poor, the range of abilities and status effects is needlessly complicated, and I would typically dislike the nature of the roguelite upgrades this game offers because they artificially increase playtime without adding interesting variation (i.e you just died, but now you can add +1 to all melee attacks and go again..).
Having said that, roguelike deckbuilding is an inherently satisfying genre that's hard to truly get wrong - and Across the Obelisk saves its many flaws with its one defining feature: online co-op gameplay. Cooperative turn based strategy games are few and far between, and all the nitpicks fade into the background when you try to figure this one out with a friend or two.
As a solo game I don't highly recommend, but in co-op AtO works really well.
