Absolum - Playstation 5

Fight as the outcast heroes of Talamh in a fierce battle to retake magic from Sun King Azra’s grasp in Absolum, an original roguelite beat ‘em up by Dotemu. 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 in a world shattered by magical cataclysm. Play as Galandra, Karl, Brome, and Cider—each with unique fighting styles and powerful abilities—as they rise against Azra’s oppressive Crimson Order. Take down elite guards using rapid combo chains, spellcasting powers, and magical counters in a combat system that demands both skill and strategy. Choose your path through branching levels, face unpredictable encounters, and uncover the secrets of Talamh. Play solo or team up in local or online co-op to chain elemental attacks and lead the uprising. All set to a breathtaking soundtrack by Gareth Coker, with contributions from Yuka Kitamura, Mick Gordon, and more.

Review snippets: I’m a big fan of both beat-em-ups and roguelites, so this was a no brainer.

Couch co-op & online co-op. Hours of replay ability with different mods, paths, bosses, etcetera. Read more
