Guard Crush Games and Supamonks’ new game, Absolum, launched in early October on PS5, PS4, PC, and Switch, published by Dotemu. It’s a side-scrolling beat ’em up in the style of classic games from the 80s and 90s, much like other popular Dotemu titles. However, Absolum is unique because it features an entirely original story and characters, unlike games based on existing franchises like Streets of Rage or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Adding to its appeal, Absolum incorporates roguelike elements, making each playthrough different and increasing replay value.
