Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, and Supamonks announced beat ’em up Absolum will launch on October 9 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
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.
Lastly, here’s an overview of Absolum, via Steam:
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.
