An epic adventure in an original fantasy world

Crafted with passion by the talented team who redefined the side-scrolling beat 'em up genre, Absolum offers breathtaking combat with modern roguelite elements, in an immersive adventure at the heart of the original world of Talamh, reminiscent of old-school arcade games.

Talamh has been ravaged by a magical cataclysm caused by ambitious mages, sparking distrust of magic among ordinary people. Sun King Azra, taking advantage of this panic, enslaved mages through his Crimson Order and placed loyal princes to rule over conquered kingdoms.

As Azra's forces claim ever more lands, the great enchantress Uchawi and a small group of rebels emerge from the shadows, wielding forbidden magic to oppose Azra's oppressive regime and challenge his magical omnipotence.

Discover the exiled heroes of Talamh, each with a unique fighting style.

Emerging from the darkness of Yeldrim, Galandra is a true force of nature, impossible to stop. She wields her gigantic sword with deadly precision and commands destructive necromantic powers. Her apparent calm barely conceals the furious rage that boils within her.

Karl is the last of Talamh's free dwarves. Armed with an ancestral blunderbuss and his fists, he excels in close combat and explosive tactics. His shortcomings at medium range are compensated by his brute strength and quick wit, making him a solid ally in the revolt against Azra's oppression.

In their quest to overthrow Sun King Azra, they will be joined by two mysterious heroes: Brome, a gifted mage whose mission is to preserve the future of his people, and the enigmatic Cider, a skirmish specialist seeking answers among the scattered fragments of his soul.

Absolum combines the masterful beat 'em up gameplay of Dotemu and Guard Crush, with the superb animations and graphics of Supamonks. With its frenetic action and infinite replayability, Absolum will challenge you with multiple paths to explore and unpredictable encounters to offer a new experience with each playthrough.

Eliminate Azra's elite guards by alternating rapid combo chains and spells, and unleash attacks that are as devastating as they are strategic. Use magical counters and rare items to turn the tide, and discover a combat system demanding skill and coordination, which will push you to develop new strategies during each of your attempts to wreak havoc in the enemy ranks.

Lead the revolt against Azra's regime as a lone hero, or team up with a friend by your side or in co-op. Combine your elemental powers and synchronize your attacks to perform incredible combos!

The world of Talamh is complex and full of secrets, stories, and betrayals. From the majestic mines of Grandery to the verdant forests of Jaroba, each stage of your odyssey will be accompanied by the fantastic original soundtrack by composer Gareth Coker (Ori, Halo Infinite, Prince of Persia), in collaboration with Yuka Kitamura (Dark Souls, Elden Ring), Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal, Atomic Heart), and many others!
