Black Resonance: Obelisk Siege is a dark combat roguelite with arena-defense elements, where you must hold back monstrous forces of darkness while protecting an ancient obelisk — the last bastion of life in a dying world.
You play as a rock musician who turns sound into a weapon. Use ranged sonic attacks, unleash powerful active abilities, gather resources in the middle of battle, and build your defenses around the obelisk. This is not passive base defense — the hero is always in the heart of the fight, and every mistake on the battlefield can cost you victory.
A 10-level campaign awaits, with increasingly intense enemy waves, new enemy types, minibosses, and a final battle. To survive, you will need more than good aim: you must manage resources wisely, plan your defenses carefully, strengthen your hero, and develop your defensive structures.
The world of the game blends gothic darkness, ruined portals, sinister entities, and the heavy atmosphere of a hopeless struggle. All of it is backed by melodic metal music that heightens the tension of combat and sets a grim rhythm for everything unfolding on screen.
Key Features
Fight for yourself, not just through defenses — the hero takes direct part in combat instead of hiding behind turrets
Protect the ancient obelisk — if it falls, or if the hero dies, the battle is lost
Build your defenses wisely — place turrets and amplifiers to withstand increasingly dangerous waves of enemies
Gather and spend resources carefully — survival depends on both smart collection and smart investment
Face a variety of enemy types — from fast, fragile creatures to armored foes, flying threats, and terrifying bosses
Push through a 10-level campaign — with escalating difficulty, minibosses, and a final challenge
Immerse yourself in a dark atmosphere — gothic visuals, dark fantasy, sinister architecture, and melodic metal
The game is being created by a solo indie developer, with a focus on atmosphere, readable combat, and a cohesive creative vision.
