Beat-’em-Up RPG Absolum Unveiled

DotEmu announced beat-’em-up action RPG Absolum. The game is developed by Streets of Rage 4 developers DotEmu and Guard Crush Games, as well as Supamonks. It is planned to release later this year for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, and can be wishlisted on Steam now.

Absolum sees players fighting as one of four rebels in the fantasy world of Talamh. The world was shattered after wizards caused a magical cataclysm. With magic untrusted by the common people, Sun King Azra took advantage, enslaving wizards and putting loyal subordinates in charge of his conquered realms. The rebels, under the mentorship of Uchawi and the Root Sisters, who utilise a forbidden magic, seek to topple Azra’s grip on power.

The announcement trailer, viewable below, introduces two of the playable warriors: Galandra, a sword-wielding fighter who is agile and suited for close-quarters combat, and Karl, a dwarf who can act as a tank while unleashing powerful punches as well as use a rifle to hit foes from afar. The game aims to blend arcade-style combat with spells, counters, and upgradable abilities across an array of hand-crafted stages.
