Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has introduced an exciting new title, Absolum — a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite elements that promises to captivate gamers worldwide.
Set in the mystical realm of Talamh, the narrative unfolds after a devastating magical cataclysm that has left its mark on the world. The inhabitants of Talamh now live in fear of magic, a fear ruthlessly exploited by the tyrannical King-Sun Azra. With the aid of his oppressive Crimson Order, Azra enslaves mages, maintaining a tight grip on power. However, hope emerges in the form of a courageous group of heroes: the necromancer Galandra, the rebel gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr. Together, they stand against the tyranny of Azra, embarking on a quest to liberate their world.
Players diving into Absolum can anticipate a high-octane experience filled with intense action. The game features upgradable abilities, allowing players to enhance their characters and unlock powerful combos and magical spells. Whether playing solo or teaming up in cooperative mode, players can execute synchronized strikes and combine attacks to unleash devastating combinations, adding a strategic layer to the frenetic combat.
The auditory experience of Absolum is equally impressive, with a soundtrack composed by a trio of legendary talents: Gareth Coker, famed for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite; Yuka Kitamura, known for her contributions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring; and Mick Gordon, the mastermind behind the soundscapes of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart. Their combined efforts promise an epic and immersive musical journey that complements the game's action-packed gameplay.
Mark your calendars for 2025, as Absolum is slated to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, offering gamers across multiple platforms the chance to experience this enthralling adventure.
