Un rogue like/ beat'em all à la direction artistique soignée, au gameplay facile à prendre en main, mais difficile à maîtriser. Le tout dans un univers bien construit, avec une courbe de difficulté et de progression cohérente, un must play pour les amateurs des deux genres qu'il fusionne efficacement.

Another fantastic game by Dotemu. Similar to Hades it will have you replaying a gauntlet with a variety of different powers that you have a chance of obtaining along the way. there are also several different characters for you to choose from and while they mostly feel very similar to each other they are different enough to provide some entertainment. The mechanics are super fun, the levels are fair but challenging and the progression isn't so much **** that it makes you want to quit. i loved it. I wish there was a little more endgame stuff to do once you conquer the final boss but that is really my only minor complaint. This is a fantastic game especially if you enjoy roguelites like hades or dead cells.

By far one of the best Rogue-like games I've ever played, Absolum does everything in its power to limit the problems that Rogue-like games can present and just make a fun and interesting beat-em-up game, similar to some of DotEmu's previous games like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredders Revenge. The game plays almost exactly like those previous games, with it being a side scrolling 2D fighter that allows you to choose from 4 characters, all of which play very distinctly and are all interesting to use. The gameplay is some of the best out there, since they're so used to making these types of games. The Rogue-like elements implemented here feel like they were added onto the periphery to give the game a bit of a different look from all those other games. The amount of routes you can take to the final bosses and things you can discover is pretty high and I'm surprised with the amount of content that's here. Plus the game is super forgiving in alot of aspects, even going so far as to give you access to a menu that will allow the player to change almost all of the base values that pop up in the game. Like being able to change your damage output and even turn all the enemies attacks to zero, making your character invincible. Even if you do that though, beginning each new run is the point of the game, as it'll give you access to seemingly more and more items and locations for you to explore and more story for you to interact with. I beat the first final boss after a handful of playthroughs and a whole brand new area to explore, with new mechanics opened up for me, with a whole brand new final boss to fight. It's extremely well done and, as someone who usually hates Rogue-likes with a passion, seeing a game like this hook me as hard as this has is very fun and exciting. Dotemu is quickly becoming one of my favorites devs and I really hope they continue to crush it moving forward no matter what genre they choose to use from now on.
