Lore & Story Synopsis
As the world is thrown into chaos and hope fades, adventurers gather to uncover the secrets of the Ancient Gods.
A perpetual war has been raging across the known lands. Three factions have struggled for supremacy.
Guild of the Grand Magus
Archaic cult of mages, constantly in search for novel ways to manipulate, harvest & utilize arcane energy. With their intellect, wisdom & cunning, they seek to outsmart & outlast their foes.
Order of the Holy Blade
Righteous zealots, whose ambitions are overshadowed by none other. Through divine insight & ability, they face any threat without fear. But, their brutal methods & fundamentalism garners strong foes.
Clan of the Hollow Skull
Once savage tribal communities, now united under one creed. Its members value strength & might above all else. A culture that spawns fierce, uncompromising warriors.
At the height of turmoil, a faint rumor is heard; one of the Lost Obelisks has resurfaced.
Goals, Design Approach, In-depth Gameplay & More
With the Viridian Obelisk, the main goal was to create a role-playing game with the focus on a relaxing and satisfying player experience. The game plays in portrait mode, can be paused at any time, tons of loot & lore, progression is slow but steady.
Playstyles
Can be played in short bursts, or for a prolonged amount of time, depending on your preference.
Your character will be stronger if you're paying attention and doing everything you can to help your character advance. However, you may also, for the most part, let the game play by itself. When an obstacle that requires your input is required, your device will notify you, allowing your to respond accordingly.
Whichever style will allow your character to progress, albeit at different paces.
Character Customization
Building you character is an important part of The Viridian Obelisk. Curious explorers, brave knights, noble Lords, cunning scholars, or unpredictable outcasts; at creation you'll choose your heritage. Then, you'll pledge allegiance to your faction of choice, each with their own set of traits & abilities. Furthermore, these choices will impact how you're perceived and treated in the game world.
Progressing through the game you'll choose your weapons, armor, accessories, spells & attributes. Upgrade and combine these to create powerful & versatile builds that fit your playstyle.
Story & World Interaction
The story is present, but not obligatory. If you take the time to read conversations, in-game discoveries etc., there's a narrative observable throughout the game. A cohesive fantasy world, with factions, characters, locations and lore.
But, understandably that's not something everyone wishes to partake in. Some may just want to slay monsters, level up, slay stronger monsters, repeat. Which is of course valid. For that reason the story, in general, will not interrupt gameplay.
