About
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, bringing all the vibes of the fantasy arcade hits of the past into an immersive adventure set in the original world of Talamh.
Talamh has been shattered by a magical cataclysm caused by ambitious wizards, leaving magic mistrusted by the common folk. Sun King Azra took advantage of this panic, enslaving wizards through his Crimson Order and placing loyal princes to rule over the conquered realms.
As Azra’s forces claim more and more lands, the high enchantress Uchawi and a small group of rebels rise from the shadows, wielding forbidden magic to challenge his oppressive regime and defy his absolute magic power.
Meet the outcast heroes of Talamh, each with their unique fighting style.
From the shadows of Yeldrim, Galandra emerges as an unstoppable force of nature. Her colossal sword strikes with deadly precision, combined with chilling, destructive necromantic powers. Her calm demeanor is a thin veil, barely concealing the furious anger brewing inside her.
Karl is the last free dwarf of Talamh. Armed with an ancestral blunderbuss and his bare fists, he’s a master of close-range brawls and explosive tactics. What he lacks in reach at mid-range, he makes up for with raw strength and quick thinking, making him a stalwart ally in the revolt against Azra's oppression.
During their ordeals, two mysterious heroes will join them on a quest to overthrow the Sun King: Brome, a wizard prodigy on a mission to preserve the future generations of his people, and the enigmatic Cider, a nimble skirmisher in search of answers among the scattered fragments of their own soul.
Absolum combines Dotemu and Guard Crush’s mastery in beat ‘em up gameplay with Supamonks' best-in-class art and animation. With its fast-paced action and endless replayability, Absolum will challenge you with multiple paths to explore and unpredictable encounters for a new experience each time you play.
Take down Azra’s elite guard with a mix of rapid combo chains and spellcasting powers, unleashing moves that feel as raw as they are strategic. Use magical counters and rare items to turn the tide in your favor and experience a combat system that demands skill and timing, pushing you to craft new strategies at every run to wreak havoc among the enemy ranks.
Lead the uprising against Azra's regime as a lone hero, or team up with a friend on your couch or online. Combine your elemental powers and synchronize your attacks into incredible chained combos!
The world of Talamh is an intricate tapestry brimming with secrets, stories, and betrayals. From the majestic mines of Grandery to the lush forests of Jaroba, every step of your odyssey will be accompanied by a magnificent soundtrack by composer Gareth Coker (Ori, Halo Infinite, Prince of Persia), with collaborations from Yuka Kitamura (Dark Souls, Elden Ring), Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal, Atomic Heart), and more!

As someone who had started to feel that this genre was getting old and had stopped enjoying it as much as I used to, I was genuinely surprised by how much fun I had with this game. I ended up spending around 30–40 hours with it and came away very satisfied. The game does its best to make the genre as engaging and playable as possible, but some repetition is still inevitable. Because of the nature of the genre, there are moments when the gameplay loop can start to feel repetitive and a little tedious. A successful run usually takes around an hour, and completing two successful runs is enough to experience the main story to its conclusion. The online mode is also surprisingly fun and can even serve as an easier alternative for players who struggle with the game, depending on the situation. The gameplay mechanics are enjoyable, and the visual style is easily one of the game's strongest aspects. Unfortunately, my biggest problem with Absolum is its story. Without going too deeply into spoilers, I had a hard time understanding the game's portrayal of the conflict. We are presented with a people who have become completely dependent on magic, while the greed of the mages and the Root Sisters we serve ultimately leads to a catastrophe that nearly destroys an entire continent. As a result, our main antagonist, who is connected to the Root Sisters, essentially bans and imprisons magic and those who practice it. Despite being known as Azra the Conqueror, the other kingdoms willingly serve him because of the problems caused by the mages. So while I can't definitively say who is worse—Azra or the side we play on—I certainly don't think our side is as innocent as the game sometimes tries to portray it. I think the story could have benefited greatly from a little more depth and attention to this moral conflict. There were also several characters I really liked, as well as a few that genuinely got on my nerves, but overall they added personality to the journey. Despite its shortcomings, I ultimately walked away from Absolum having had a great time. If you're like me and normally avoid beat 'em ups because you don't think the genre is for you, I strongly recommend giving this one a chance. You might be surprised by how much you enjoy it.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Абсолютно ничего не ждал от этой игры. Просто где-то попалась новость, что выходит потенциально интересный битем ап рогалик за небольшую цену за около 1к рублей😎. Ну я и подумал. Ну а почему бы и не купить эту игрушку. Смешная цена, всё равно, что один раз сходить в КФС покушать☝️. Короче купил перед НГ Absolum и до недавнего времени даже не вспоминал об этой игре. Пока пару дней назад почему-то не вспомнил, что оказывается есть у меня в библиотеке одна потенциально интересная новая игра в фэнтэзийное сэттинге. Я даже себе и представить не мог, как сильно меня сможет затянуть эта игрушка. Вот без шуток, но Absolum - это одна из лучших игр, что я поиграл за последние 2-3 года. Смесь рогалика и битем апа настолько сильно мне понравилась, что меня сейчас даже за деньги не заставить бросить играть😀 Прекрасная музыка, интересная рисовка, 4 персонажа на выбор со своими уникальными навыками и способностями. Может быть поэтому 15 наигранных часов пролетели незаметно. Каждый забег занимал от 20 минут до часа. И каждый раз после смерти начиная со стартовой локации, мне хотелось продолжать и продолжать играть. Возможно дело в том, что сама по себе игра представляет из себя крутое фэнтэзийное приключение. А я прям такое очень люблю. Властелин колец, Подземелья и Драконы и т.д. Где чем дальше ты проходишь, тем становится всё интереснее и интереснее. На моём пути чего и кого я только не встретил. И город некромантов, со своими ритуалами воскрешения. И сектантов, что поклоняются существу, похожему на Ктулху. Деревни гоблинов, государства/деревни гуманоидных лягушек и тритонов. Короче одно сплошное приключение, где каждый раз не знаешь наверняка, куда же тебя заведет игра. Здесь я не ощутил какой-то духоты, которую я часто по мере продвижения ощущал в других рогаликах. (Как в том же Dead Cells) В Absolum достаточно интересное и глубокое билдостроение, что однозначно добавляет реиграбельности. Как вариант, тут есть некромантия, можно создать призрачную броню и призывать скилетов😱 Есть возможность не только играть по сети, но и проходить Absolum в кооперативе. (Актуально, если у вас есть друзья😏) Можно играть в кооперативе не только удаленно по интернету, но и с одного компьютера (Насчёт игры по сети😁 Я сколько не пробовал, но игра так и не смогла подобрать мне по сети игрока, хз почему так). Absolum достаточно скилоозависимая игра. И если главный герой умрёт, не важно на уровне с боссом или просто в бою с рандомным мобом, то начинать придётся прям с самой первой локации. Уровень персонажа не потеряется, собранные кристаллы останутся (они нужны для прокачки навыков ГГ), а вот все найденные артефакты и магические способности обнулятся. Со временем все артефакты, что найдете в забегах, можно будет купить за кристаллы на стартовой локации) Короче, можно ещё долго писать разного интересного и полезного об этой игре (Какие здесь интересные боссы, какой классный юмор, можно даже ездить на кабанах и динозавриках, а ещё здесь есть музыкальная тема, написанная Миком Гордоном), но зачем? Если можно сделать проще - купить Absolum и самому отправиться в захватывающее путешествие по фэнтэзийному миру Талама на встречу приключениям 😃
Absolum 9,5/10 Positivo: -Los 4 personajes jugables son divertidos de llevar. -Las runs son muy diversas por la cantidad de runas diferentes que hay. -Combinar runas da muchas opciones jugables. -La variedad de combos físicos + runas da muchísima rejugabilidad. -Los abalorios añaden otra capa a la jugabilidad porque puedes dar prioridad a defensa, ataque, suerte, etc. -El sistema de combate está muy trabajado. Funciona muy bien y te va haciendo aprender a combear. -Muchas misiones secundarias a realizar. -Mapa con bastantes secretos, rutas y zonas diferentes entre sí. Con un tamaño que ni se hace corto, ni largo. -Artísticamente el juego es una pasada. Negativo: -La historia no es su fuerte. Aunque va dejando detalles a lo largo de las misiones. -La banda sonora no destaca. -El modo multijugador se resiente en cuanto a rendimiento. Hay tal cantidad de enemigos, aliados y afectos en pantalla que los fps bajan bastante. Además de que no ves al personaje en batalla.
Такое се, повесточные персонажи которые есть в игре, за них особо играть не хочется. Система рыгалика, после нескольких забегов уже пропадает интерес играть, в street of rage 4 было гораздо интереснее проводить время.
无法联机，幽默完了
Desde lançamento de hades, vários jogos seguiram a ideia do jogo, e esse aqui inovou muito. Absolum é bom em tudo, história, gameplay, dublagens e ainda tem coop. Jogar com amigo fica melhor ainda. Comprei na promoção, valeu a pena.
Absolum absolutely surprised me in the best way possible. The combat feels smooth and satisfying, with enough depth to stay engaging while still being easy to jump into. Every run feels rewarding thanks to the variety in builds, upgrades and playstyles. The art direction and atmosphere stand out immediately, there’s a lot of personality in both the world and the character design. Progression feels meaningful and the game does a good job encouraging “just one more run”. What I enjoyed most is that it feels polished and confident in what it wants to be. Whether you're here for the action, experimentation or simply discovering new combinations, there’s a lot to enjoy. Definitely recommended if you enjoy action roguelites with strong presentation and satisfying gameplay.
Представьте что получится если смешать dark souls и аркадный файтинг с кучей противников и вы получите absolum. Половина игры завязана на парировании, а парировать в толпе врагов очень просто правда? А также вы будете плакать от врагов со щитами, ведь это нечто впитывает порядка 30 ударов прежде чем даст себя убить. А прокачка между забегами вроде как есть, но кроме 2 воскрешений ничего полезного там нет. Могу порекомендовать только тем кто любит Sekiro shadows die twice. Так как выдрачивать анимации врагов для парирований придется долго.
It's fine I suppose, the story is mildly interesting and there's some good personalities in the characters but it just kinda feels stripped down compared to some other beatemups I've played. The most fun I've had in this game is when I took all the optional bosses and finally managed to get a decent variety of moves but like it still wasn't all that much fun until like 2/3 through the run. Worth playing even if it's not quite my vibe.
垃圾游戏，从测试服的时候就开始玩了，现在正式版更新后服务器比测试版还要烂，测试服的时候联机十次有五次会中途掉线，现在正式版十次有九次中途掉线，而且几乎次次开加速器都还都联机失败，甚至还有卡死无法进入下个地图的情况，服务器真的做得烂得跟屎一样，完全不优化，垃圾死了，越做越烂，别买，买了根本玩不了。我steam玩过二三十个游戏，第一次这么生气，第一次写差评
