Absolum Will Receive Mystic Ordeals in a New Content Patch

With over 200,000 copies sold in its first week and extensive critical acclaim, rogue-lite beat ’em up Absolum has seen an incredible reception. Dotemu and Guard Crush Games thanked fans for their support while revealing what’s next: A new content patch that adds something called Mystic Ordeals.

These Ordeals offer more granular control over the game’s difficulty, from boss and enemy life to enemy speed, aggression, multiplier, and more. The player’s attributes can also seemingly be modified, though these weren’t fully detailed. Of course, this is only the “tiniest glimpse” of what’s to come, so expect more details as the development team ponders “the future of Talamh and Absolum in the months (and years) to come.”

It’s also working on hotfixes for some of the “most significant issues,” though once again, an ETA remains to be announced (aside from “soon”). Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Absolum is available for PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out our review here – we awarded it a nine out of ten with the combat, rogue-lite structure, build-crafting and presentation receiving top marks.
