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, which has been left in ruins by a catastrophic magical event, the game delves into a narrative where the populace lives in dread of magic. This fear is manipulated by the tyrannical King-Sun Azra, who, with the aid of his oppressive Crimson Order, enslaves mages to maintain his iron grip on power. Against this backdrop, a courageous band of heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This valiant group includes the necromancer Galandra, the defiant gnome Karl, the powerful mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.
Players diving into **Absolum** can anticipate adrenaline-pumping action, featuring the ability to upgrade skills, unleash potent combos, and wield magical spells. The game offers both single-player and cooperative modes, encouraging players to team up, synchronize their attacks, and execute devastating combined assaults.
Elevating the game's atmosphere is its soundtrack, masterfully composed by a trio of legendary artists: Gareth Coker, acclaimed for his work on *Ori* and *Halo Infinite*; Yuka Kitamura, known for her contributions to *Dark Souls* and *Elden Ring*; and Mick Gordon, the creative force behind the scores of *DOOM Eternal* and *Atomic Heart*.
Mark your calendars for the anticipated 2025 release of **Absolum**, which will be available on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world where bravery and magic collide to overthrow tyranny.
