Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has proudly announced the upcoming release of **Absolum**—a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite elements. This game promises to captivate players with its dynamic combat system and deep narrative.
Set in the mystical world of Talamh, the story unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating magical cataclysm. The inhabitants of Talamh live in fear of magic, a fear that the tyrannical ruler, King-Sun Azra, manipulates to oppress and enslave mages with the aid of his fearsome Crimson Order. In response, a valiant group of heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This diverse band includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr, each bringing unique skills to the fight against oppression.
Players diving into **Absolum** can anticipate heart-pounding action, featuring upgradable abilities, potent combos, and awe-inspiring magical spells. The game offers both single-player and cooperative modes, allowing players to team up, combine their attacks, and synchronize their strikes for devastating effects on their enemies.
Enhancing the immersive experience is a mesmerizing soundtrack, composed by a trio of legendary artists: Gareth Coker, celebrated for his work on **Ori** and **Halo Infinite**; Yuka Kitamura, known 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 to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Prepare to embark on an epic journey through the world of Talamh, where magic and might collide in a battle for freedom.
