Step Into Talamh: A World on the Edge
The tyrant Sun King Azra rules through fear, enslaving mages and bending Talamh to his will.

Each character offers unique abilities and devastating combat techniques, giving players endless tactical possibilities.

Absolum reinvents the beat ’em up with roguelite mechanics. Players can:
- Unlock evolving routes and face ever-changing encounters.
- Chain melee and spell attacks for spectacular combos.
- Harness magical counters and rare relics to survive Azra’s forces.
- Play solo, or team up for couch co-op and online multiplayer.

Talamh’s sprawling world is scored by Gareth Coker (Ori, Halo Infinite), with collaborations from Yuka Kitamura (Dark Souls, Elden Ring) and Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal), creating a soundtrack as unforgettable as the battles themselves.
