In a week with some heavy hitters, including Battlefield 6 and Little Nightmares 3, Dotemu’s Absolum still managed to make its mark. Following positive critical reviews, the publisher confirmed that it sold over 200,000 copies and revealed a new accolades trailer. Check it out below.
Developed by Dotemu, Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, Absolum is a beat ’em up title with support for up to two players. It offers the same refined combat that the Streets of Rage 4 team is known for, but adds rogue-lite elements and branching paths across a massive world. Each character has unique Specials and can learn new moves on top of augmenting their abilities with elemental properties.
Absolum is available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC. Check out our review, where we gave it a nine out of ten for its stunning presentation and incredible combat. Even the rogue-lite elements meshed incredibly well with the beat ’em up core, keeping runs fresh throughout.
