A bold new rogue ’em up from familiar legends
Developed by Dotemu and Guard Crush Games (the team behind Streets of Rage 4), Absolum blends side-scrolling brawler combat with ever-changing roguelite progression. Set in the fantasy world of Talamh, the game follows a band of magic-wielding rebels fighting back against the tyrannical Sun King Azra and his Crimson Order.
Each playthrough brings new tactics, magical counters, hidden relics, and randomized chaos, whether you go solo or hop into online/local co-op.
Absolum physical edition features a fully playable resistance
The game’s cast of outcasts gives players plenty of ways to approach each run:
- Galandra – Necromancer-warrior with ruthless melee combos
- Karl – Dwarf demolitionist with fists and flame
- Brome – Young wizard haunted by ancient prophecy
- Cider – Ghostly rogue fighting to remember who they were
Each hero’s abilities evolve across multiple runs, keeping combat fresh and deeply replayable.
From forest ruins to sunlit prisons, Talamh lives and breathes
Players will traverse regions like the mines of Grandery and the corrupted forests of Jaroba, animated in stunning detail by Supamonks. The pulse of the rebellion is driven by a thunderous soundtrack composed by Gareth Coker, with featured tracks from Yuka Kitamura, Mick Gordon, and others.
