Dotemu’s original IP, Absolum, a modern beat ’em up offering deep combat and an engaging story, recently received a free update called Cycles of Destiny, available now on PC, Switch, PS5, and PS4. Dotemu, known for Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, developed Absolum in collaboration with Guard Crush Games (Streets of Rage 4) and Supamonks. Absolum reimagines arcade-style brawlers with magic, counterattacks, and customizable depth. Players choose from four distinct warriors: Galandra, the agile sword wielder; Karl, the strong dwarf; Cider, the mysterious rogue; and Brome, the talented mage. They explore a fantastical land filled with cosmic elements and horrors, fighting to liberate the kingdom from the tyrant Azra. Featuring branching paths, secret missions, compelling characters, and challenging bosses, the game blends elements of Golden Axe with Dungeons & Dragons, offering unique playthroughs with unlockable items, missions, and permanent upgrades that enhance replayability. Guard Crush Games, founded in 2009 by Jordi Asensio and Cyrille Lagarigue, is recognized for its passion for the beat ’em up genre and its work on Streets of Rage 4.
