Absolum, a fantasy beat-'em-up from the creators of Streets of Rage 4, is set to release on October 9. The game enhances traditional beat-'em-up mechanics by integrating roguelike elements, providing depth and strategic gameplay. Players select a "Ritual" at the start of each run, modifying abilities akin to Hades’s Boons. Combat is varied, requiring specific strategies for different enemies, and features an Arcana system that allows players to equip special attacks. These features contribute to a rich combat experience that keeps engagement high throughout gameplay.
Each run in Absolum starts with you selecting a "Ritual" for your character, modifying abilities similarly to Boons in Hades. This adds depth to gameplay.
The further into a run you get, the more likely you are to encounter additional Rituals. Some Rituals are designed to synergize with one another.
Combat feels varied and strategic, never devolving into mere button mashing. Each enemy requires a specific approach, enhancing the gameplay experience.
Borrowing elements from modern roguelikes, Absolum integrates a robust Arcana system featuring up to two special attacks per character for enhanced combat variety.
