Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has announced the upcoming release of **Absolum**—a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite mechanics. Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, the game unfolds in a realm shattered by a magical cataclysm. The inhabitants of Talamh live in dread of magic, a fear that the tyrannical King-Sun Azra manipulates to enslave mages through his oppressive Crimson Order. Amidst this turmoil, a band of valiant heroes emerges to challenge his reign. This courageous group includes the necromancer Galandra, the defiant gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.
Players diving into **Absolum** can anticipate adrenaline-pumping combat enriched with upgradable abilities, potent combos, and enchanting spells. Whether you choose to embark on this adventure solo or join forces in cooperative mode, teamwork allows for the synchronization of attacks and the execution of devastating combinations, enhancing the gameplay experience.
The auditory experience of **Absolum** is set to be equally captivating, with a soundtrack composed by renowned artists Gareth Coker, known for his work on *Ori* and *Halo Infinite*, Yuka Kitamura, who contributed to *Dark Souls* and *Elden Ring*, and Mick Gordon, the talent behind *DOOM Eternal* and *Atomic Heart*.
Mark your calendars for 2025, as **Absolum** is slated to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, promising a blend of intense action and strategic depth that fans of the genre won't want to miss.
