Dotemu's Next Game Will Retain Retro Beat ‘Em Up Action
Dotemu has announced its next game, Absolum, a fantasy beat 'em up with roguelike elements, being developed alongside Guard Crush Games and Supamonk. The new game is expected to launch later this year on the Switch, PlayStation, and PC, featuring branching pathways, questing, and challenging bosses. Absolum retains the core beat 'em up action known for Dotemu's previous titles like Shredder's Revenge and Streets of Rage 4.
- The emphasis on a "rogue 'em up" experience in Absolum suggests that Dotemu is pushing the boundaries of traditional beat 'em ups, incorporating elements from other genres to create something unique.
- How will the fusion of fantasy and roguelike mechanics influence the gameplay and narrative of Absolum, potentially setting a new standard for the genre?
