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. Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, the game's narrative unfolds in a land left in ruins by a devastating magical cataclysm. The inhabitants of Talamh live in fear of magic, a fear exploited by the tyrannical King-Sun Azra, who uses his Crimson Order to enslave mages.
In this gripping tale, a band of courageous heroes emerges to challenge Azra's rule. This valiant group includes the necromancer Galandra, the defiant gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr. Players will dive into intense action, utilizing upgradable abilities, executing powerful combos, and casting magical spells to overthrow the oppressive regime.
Absolum offers both solo and cooperative gameplay, allowing players to team up, combine their attacks, and synchronize their strikes to unleash devastating combinations against their foes. Whether you're fighting alone or with friends, the game promises a dynamic and engaging experience.
The game's audio experience is set to be equally captivating, with a soundtrack crafted by renowned composers Gareth Coker, known for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite, Yuka Kitamura, acclaimed for her contributions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring, and Mick Gordon, the mastermind behind the soundtracks of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart.
Mark your calendars for 2025, as Absolum is slated for release on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to embark on an epic journey in the world of Talamh and fight for freedom against the tyranny of King-Sun Azra.
