Absolum is awesome and I can't wait to play it on October 9


The fantasy beat-'em-up is shaping up to be something special.

Combined with the game's Arcana system, which allows you to select up to two special attacks for your character, there's great combat variety in Absolum. Of the three, however, Clashes — acting as Absolum's version of a parry — are the hardest to pull off, but can turn a boss fight in your favor, allowing you to deflect an attack that would have otherwise been devastating. As it stands, the game has tough competition, but if you're a fan of challenging and mechanically complex but fun combat systems, I think you owe it to yourself to check out Absolum come October when it arrives on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PS5.
