If you played Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s demo and crave even more Dotemu goodness, its newest title, Absolum, is out today. Developed alongside Guard Crush Games with animation and production studio Supamonks also involved, the rogue-lite fantasy beat ’em up is available later today for PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
In the meantime, a launch trailer is available, highlighting the main playable characters and insane action that they’ll get up to. As members of a resistance against Azra, the Sun King, players must traverse the world of Talamh to defeat him. Each has unique abilities and playstyles, from Galandra’s well-balanced playstyle to Brome’s magic attacks and staff surfing.
Traversing new locations unlocks Rituals, which can provide powerful passive elemental buffs or change up a character’s attacks entirely. Of course, there’s also local and online co-op, allowing two players to team up and wreak havoc. Stay tuned for more details when Absolum launches later today and check out the free demo in the meantime.
