About

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.


Meet the outcast heroes of Talamh, each with their unique fighting style.
From the shadows of Yeldrim, Galandra emerges as an unstoppable force of nature. Her colossal sword strikes with deadly precision, combined with chilling, destructive necromantic powers. Her calm demeanor is a thin veil, barely concealing the furious anger brewing inside her.
Karl is the last free dwarf of Talamh. Armed with an ancestral blunderbuss and his bare fists, he’s a master of close-range brawls and explosive tactics. What he lacks in reach at mid-range, he makes up for with raw strength and quick thinking, making him a stalwart ally in the revolt against Azra's oppression.
During their ordeals, two mysterious heroes will join them on a quest to overthrow the Sun King: Brome, a wizard prodigy on a mission to preserve the future generations of his people, and the enigmatic Cider, a nimble skirmisher in search of answers among the scattered fragments of their own soul.

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.


Take down Azra’s elite guard with a mix of rapid combo chains and spellcasting powers, unleashing moves that feel as raw as they are strategic. Use magical counters and rare items to turn the tide in your favor and experience a combat system that demands skill and timing, pushing you to craft new strategies at every run to wreak havoc among the enemy ranks.

Lead the uprising against Azra's regime as a lone hero, or team up with a friend on your couch or online. Combine your elemental powers and synchronize your attacks into incredible chained combos!
The world of Talamh is an intricate tapestry brimming with secrets, stories, and betrayals. From the majestic mines of Grandery to the lush forests of Jaroba, every step of your odyssey will be accompanied by a magnificent soundtrack by composer Gareth Coker (Ori, Halo Infinite, Prince of Persia), with collaborations from Yuka Kitamura (Dark Souls, Elden Ring), Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal, Atomic Heart), and more!

If you liked Streets of Rage 4 then this game is better. Great game, great replay value. If you want a beat em up you can put a lot of time into, this one is great.
ABSOLUMte banger! The game took me: ☆ 13 Hours to Finish the Main Story/Quest ★ 25 Hours to Platinum ✔ Amazing Art-Style ✔ Cool and Interesting Characters ✔ Nice Progression ✔ Engaging Gameplay If you like Roguelites and Beat-em-ups this game is a really good recommendation, the game starts a little bit challenging, but like most roguelites once you start unlocking most upgrades it can become pretty easy, having said that I believe later on some ENDGAME features were not properly balanced and were somewhat frustrating (Corrupted Rifts), but overall the game is fun and definitely more than worth the full price.
Excelente, maravilhoso
Perfect game for couch playing. Ideal for couples. We really enjoyed this. :)
Шикарный Кулачный Рогалик! Нам с сыночком очень зашёл! Ярко, брутально, фантастично!
Just feels great to play. I wasn't totally enamoured with Streets of Rage 4 but I feel like they took all the right lessons from it to make an excellent 2P beat 'em up. Aestheticly it's just great fun to look at and the characters feel very different to play once you get an ability or two. I also enjoy how all of the elements are interesting in thier own ways and really change up your playstyle though some are obviously stronger than others. My only complaint is that it isn't more than 2 player, but considering how well balanced it is (and how chaotic a lot of late game builds are) I could see why it would be tough to add more players at once.
เป็นเกมที่เพลินมากก มูฟเซ็ตเข้าใจง่าย RNG ไม่แย่หลายๆ อย่างรวมๆ กันแล้วก็เล่นสนุกได้ แม้ความหลากหลายจะไม่เยอะและมีข้อจำกัดพอสมควร แต่ก็เป็นเกมแนวโร๊คไลท์ที่ดีเลย งานภาพถือว่าถูกใจมักๆ เนื้อเรื่องดี (ไม่ได้อ่าน)
un juegazo no se que decir, me lo he terminado varias veces y sigo enganchado. me ha valido completamente la pena.
10/10 no se porque la gente no conoce este juego GOTY
My friend and I are about six runs in and reached the second area boss. We had to do some technical troubleshooting when we couldn't join each other's game (there's a bad DLL you need to rename), but the juice has been worth the squeeze. We've stuck to the starter characters for now, but have unlocked the others. The roguelite elements provide enough of a boost that you can meaningfully progress through the story while you practice your gameplay. The combat flows well, has lots of moment-to-moment options, allows a significant level of mastery, provides a fun mix of enemies to pummel, and feels like some of the best beat em up combat in a long time. It's rare to play a game that looks and sounds *this good* play *this well*. An excellent game marred by surmountable technical issues and minor bugs.
