Dotemu has officially announced their next game, a new action RPG known as Absolum. The game will release in 2025 for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Absolum combines the typical beat-em-up style that Dotemu developed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and combined it with RPG mechanics to make what it calls a “rogue ’em up.” It features a wide variety of different characters, such as Galandra, Karl, Brome, and Cider. Check out the first trailer for Absolum below:
The game is available to wishlist now on PC via Steam. The store page describes it as follows:
Crafted with passion by the dream team that redefined side-scrolling beat ’em ups, Absolum mixes top-of-the-class combat action with modern roguelite elements, bringing all the vibes of the fantasy arcade hits of the past into an immersive adventure set in the original world of Talamh.
Talamh has been shattered by a magical cataclysm caused by ambitious wizards, leaving magic mistrusted by the common folk. Sun King Azra took advantage of this panic, enslaving wizards through his Crimson Order and placing loyal princes to rule over the conquered realms.
As Azra’s forces claim more and more lands, the high enchantress Uchawi and a small group of rebels rise from the shadows, wielding forbidden magic to challenge his oppressive regime and defy his absolute magic power.
Absolum combines Dotemu and Guard Crush’s mastery in beat ‘em up gameplay with Supamonks’ best-in-class art and animation. With its fast-paced action and endless replayability, Absolum will challenge you with multiple paths to explore and unpredictable encounters for a new experience each time you play.
Lastly, Absolum will release in 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
