Absolum

太好玩了，美术、动作流畅度、打击感都是顶级。和好友本地联机特别欢乐，就是鼠标按键用不了，以及没有默认奔跑设置有点难受，还有多按键绑定也没有。

Одна из лучших рогаликов для меня! Очень порадовало разнообразие игры, вариантов прокачек и комбинирование стихий)

Fantastic beat'em up that takes the base idea of the genre and modernizes it with rich discovering/progression Roguelites such as Hades. Also superb music and visual style.

[h1]A Roguelike Beat ‘Em Up That Gives You the Best of Both Worlds[/h1] Absolum is a masterpiece. This is a brawler coming to us from the same creative leads behind Streets of Rage 4. That alone should have you intrigued if you've played that masterpiece of the genre. What should surprise many however is how damn good this game is AS an old school brawler whilst also being a randomized roguelike. The result is a game that manages to mirror the challenge and thrill of getting through an arcade 1CC whilst also allowing for player expression in the form of build crafting and progression systems that don't get in the way of the core experience. In simpler terms, the game is just badass. I am NOT fan of roguelikes. I despise this genre, plenty of my hot takes on here are not recommending a game many others love due to it being a roguelike. I recognize the excellent quality of games like Hades, Balatro, and Inscryption, but I hate playing each of those games. So, when I of all people am recommending this game, understand that it is something I can recommend to you if you are like me and utterly despise random chance and number generators in games. Absolum reminded me of playing the best in this genre because its core systems are so damn strong that, if they took out the random elements of this game, it would stand on its own legs as an amazing brawler. Having a strong roguelike component here merely gives the game a ton of replayability and throws exciting wrenches into your many different runs of the game that keep you on your toes and force you to master the games defensive and evasive options. As a beat 'em up, Absolum is easily among the best modern games in the genre. Streets of Rage 4 was a perfect blend of player abilities and skill, combined with fantastic enemy design, coupled with excellent pacing and levels. It was this whole package that allowed for the players to express themselves whilst still being heavily challenged if they wanted to go for the higher difficulties and S ranks. Absolum takes the full playthrough experience of SoR4, which was arguably just a bit too long for an arcade game, and perfectly compartmentalizes it across multiple branching paths and different runs. There are about as many bosses and stages as in SoR4, but your full run of the game will only last about 45 minutes max. You have a map you can access which allows you to chart which path you want to take at key moments that will take you to different levels with different hazards, atmospheres, and enemies. For the most part, the actual levels aren't that randomized which is a very good thing as it allows the devs to sprinkle in fun set pieces for the player to be able to hit every run of the game, such as water raft sections, fighting enemies on a falling platform, or fighting enemies with a giant smelter off to the side allowing you to throw them into it. What is random is the kinds of enemies and even sometimes bosses you can come across as you progress through the meta progression across runs. The many different enemy types all work extremely well together and challenge you in diverse ways. You will learn to dread some enemies and adore others. Even the goblins, the first enemies in most runs of the game, can kick your ass if you're not taking them seriously. In order to defeat these foes, you'll have to master your character kit, and on that note, let's talk about Absolum's superb cast. Absolum features four playable characters, two of which you will unlock as you progress through the game. This may be a downgrade over SoR4's stacked list of playable characters, but the roguelike elements allow you to mold these characters into whatever build suits your play style (provided you get good RNG and not a bunch of random crap thrown your way of course). For example, one of the two unlockable characters, Cider, is a thief. Due to this, she's incredibly fast and has a running attack that has her spinning her arm blades like a buzzsaw. Since this attack offers multiple hits at once, it is one of the best options in the game to land potential crits. So, if you come across a boon that gives you special modifiers on crits, you'll want to spam this move a ton as it's the best way to get crits reliably. All running attacks are also on-the-ground (or OTG) moves which means that this move can also hurt enemies on the ground. So, if you get a boon that increases OTG damage... yeah. This is just one character of course, and there are ways to make slower characters faster and more agile. Galandra has a unique upgrade she can find in a run which changes her air special move into a buzzsaw technique, which I pretty much always picked up on runs while playing as her. But what about your core move set? Well, the game features the beat 'em up classics. You have an auto combo with light attacks, which can perform a full string without hitting enemies, special attacks which compliment your character's play style. Galandra punches with her normal string, but her special attack has her swinging her massive buster sword, whilst Cider uses a grappling hook which allows for easy air combos. You also can thankfully still grab enemies for throws and i-frames by simply moving into their hit box, no button presses necessary. What is different in Absolum, compared to more classic brawlers, is the emphasis on blocking, dodging, and clashing. You can dash, allowing for different defensive moves to take place. Overhead attacks and thrusts can be dodged by dashing up or down, then allow you to follow up with an attack where your character sucks in on them if you time this right, no need to realign yourself with the enemy. However, if the enemy doesn't hit you with an unblockable attack, you can dodge INTO the move to block it and stagger the enemy. Finally, you can clash an attack, even unblockable ones, by landing your character's special move as the enemy throws out their dangerous move. The timing for this is challenging, but it never stops being awesome when you land it. And again, if you spec your character's special move into something that has multiple fast attacks, you can clash with enemy moves easily! In addition to playing phenomenally well, the game looks GORGEOUS. Seriously, you're going to want to play on an OLED screen because the animation and visuals are outstanding. The music is also badass, featuring multiple iconic tracks for bosses, some composed by Mick Gordon himself, as well as some incredibly beautiful pieces of somber tunes. The story was also pretty solid, with multiple optional quests for different runs allowing you to flesh out the characters and their backstories, whilst also allowing you to enjoy the game without the story bogging it down. This isn't a Fromsoft game where you'll need to watch other people on YouTube explain how you should feel about the story, it's all right there for you to enjoy! There are of course some minor issues with it being roguelike and all. For instance, the unlockable true final boss of the game starts the fight with an instant kill move that takes away one of your extra lives. If you haven't unlocked any extra lives, or if you ran out fighting the initial final boss, then you're screwed. You can also have a run where just nothing synergizes, and you get useless elemental boons. My advice is to focus on the electric elemental boons if you're new, they kind break the game when decked out. Other than these minor and inevitable quibbles with the genre, it's still a masterpiece. Even if you hate roguelikes, and hate getting bad luck, the core experience and combat is so addictive that you'll likely never want to uninstall this game. Just like Streets of Rage 4! Buy this the moment it's on sale if you have yet to experience this phenomenal game.

This is worth the price to play this game. I am absorb by its artwork first of all. I stay for the gameplay.
