It’s easy to get lost in the tabletop-like fantasy world of Senenthia, and numerous content packs only make choosing the right path harder. This ranked list of all the Across the Obelisk DLCs released so far should help with that.
Paradox and Dreamsite’s DLC plans for the co-op roguelite deckbuilder have been unsurprisingly ambitious, which means that some packs are markedly better than others, so players that aren’t looking to grab all of them need to prioritize. To better guide new and veteran adventurers alike, we’ve put together a buying guide that details what every DLC has to offer while also providing our unfiltered opinion.
It’s also worth pointing out Across the Obelisk is quite fun when played solo as well, and in our experience, these DLCs can be enjoyed alone or with friends. The number of players in the party doesn’t really affect the core experience. The game’s post-launch support isn’t showing signs of slowing down anytime soon either, so stay tuned for updates; we’ll be keeping tabs on all the new pieces of DLC being added to the game.
9. Sands of Ulminin
Sands of Ulminin, released in summer 2023, is one of Across the Obelisk’s bigger DLCs. It packs an all-new story that can be played as Act 2 or 3 of an adventure thanks to the game’s branching paths and very high replay value. It also introduces two new “dual-class heroes” that spice things up.
The problem is that, priced at $19,99 (same as the base game), it doesn’t add nearly enough to the pile of content to justify the asking price. If you’ve gone through all the other DLC packs and want the complete experience, grab it on sale. Otherwise, this is one to skip.
8. The Wolf Wars
The Wolf Wars was a mid-sized DLC released in spring 2023 and also introduced a new area with its own story, enemies, and a new unlockable hero. This one is an independent zone that’s hard to miss, and while the story it tells has a flavor of its own, the whole experience is quite short.
Priced at $9,99 when no sales are happening, it feels a bit too thin too. Yes, it’s as replayable as the rest of the game, but it doesn’t run for longer than 20 minutes or so. Moreover, the only new character, Yogger, isn’t the most exciting one added to the game. If you’re looking to complete your Across the Obelisk collection, pick it up when discounted.
7. Shores of Sahti
Shores of Sahti also introduced an entire new area in early 2025. This time, it was all about small islands, hidden booty, and pirates, among other things you’re likely to find in watery fantasy locales. The overall amount of content it introduces is quite attractive, with two new pets and three distinct factions being the highlight.
It’s smartly priced at $9,99 despite offering more than the two previous DLC packs in this list, and this one would be an easy recommendation if you’ve cleared everything the base game has to offer. There’s one major issue though: The balance isn’t very good. Across the Obelisk is meant to be challenging, but that boss fight just feels unfair and poorly designed. Moreover, even the regular pirates feel overpowered given this isn’t a sort of ‘endgame’ adventure.
6. Nenukil, the Engineer
Nenukil, released in spring 2024, is a Scout-class character that packs a punch and can prioritize defense or damage as he levels up. He’s also a dwarf with a robot sidekick pet, so what’s not to love at first glance?
Well, being priced at $4,99, we were kind of expecting more from this single-character DLC, especially when it comes to the overall design and balance. While Nenukil can be quite useful in certain scenarios, he isn’t very strong overall and chances are you’ll want to take other DLC characters on an adventure over him. He’s neat on paper, but simply lacks an extra dose of spice and power to make a lasting impression.
5. The Obsidian Uprising
The Obsidian Uprising feels similar to The Wolf Wars in that it’s a standalone mini-story you can hop into and clear very quickly while enjoying some new characters and mechanics. The lower price tag ($4,99) also makes it more attractive than other story/zone-centric packs.
It could be argued that it’s still too short, plus it’s easy to feel disconnected from the story and lore dump, but we’re leaning towards “yes, grab it if you need more content” without major complains with this one. The multi-layered map was a neat surprise too.
4. Spooky Night in Senenthia
Spooky Night in Senenthia is the odd DLC of the bunch and might not be liked by everyone, but hear us out. We’re going to keep things simple here: It’s all extra skins for previously existing characters. But at $4,99 and getting extra updates each year, these are pretty good and far better than the usual skins that come with other DLC packs.
It includes “10 killer character skins and one eerily exclusive cardback” that, while Halloween-themed, can be used whenever and dramatically change the look of your favorite heroes. Clearly, a lot of love and effort went into these, so we think it’s a nice purchase to support the devs and send a message that reasonably priced cosmetics can often be better than half-baked playable content.
3. Bernard, the Alchemist
Bernard, the Alchemist, is one of the more unique characters in the game. A turtle guy with potions and Scout traits? Yes, please. He can also hit harder than you’d expect at first and comes with Inky, an octopus pet that can inflict status effects.
If you’re into Across the Obelisk’s dialogues and backstories, Bernard’s are some of the best we’ve seen too. Overall, he’s a great addition to any party looking for a healing-oriented build on the support side of things, and at $4,99, we think this DLC is worth picking up if you’ve been enjoying the game.
2. Amelia, the Queen
Amelia is a notable mage-like character with some flexibility in her build options that we weren’t expecting at first. She hits hard and isn’t a by-the-numbers hero when it comes to the gameplay design and how she fits into the larger roster.
The accompanying lore and backstory is quite interesting too, and her pet, Rifty, is very useful to keep enemies in check by removing their buffs. The biggest ‘but’ we have with this DLC is that, as some players have pointed out, she’s indeed more powerful if you go with the Frost options; this takes down her overall potential a notch. At $4,99, you can’t go wrong with her though.
1. Sigrun, the Valkyrie
Sigrun is the latest character DLC added to the game, and we must admit she’s far above the other post-launch heroes that arrived to Senenthia. As a Scout-Mage hybrid, she’s both agile and quite hard-hitting. Moreover, her unique Spellsinger talent, means that she can get Elemental spells from the Mage class for free, which is pretty sick.
On top of her cool design and solid overall balance, the new pet Jelly rounds out the ‘master of lightning’ flavor of Sigrun. Same price tag as other DLC characters, $4,99, but we’re confident the Valkyrie is easily the best one that Dreamsite has put out so far. Here’s hoping we get more extra heroes as awesome as her.
