Shattered Remnant - a new Story Pack for Across the Obelisk is out now!

▶ Watch on YouTube

Hey everyone!

Thank you all for your feedback! We have made some changes to Andrin and Magnus and have heard that some of you would prefer to play with them in their original designs. Well, good news: you can! We have added a Classic/Reworked toggle to each of these characters so you can play with them as you prefer! 

While the current patch has been in development and testing for a long time, we have made significant under-the-hood changes to enable future development and optimization. This means, in no unclear terms, that we might not have been able to find all the bugs, so please let us know if you find something that does not seem to work and report it on our Discord. Much appreciated!
