The dev behind Streets of Rage 4 is making an original beat-'em-up


Dotemu, the developer behind Shredder’s Revenge and Streets of Rage 4 is back with an original IP. Absolum is an old-school beat-‘em-up with roguelike elements.

Dotemu boasts of "branching paths to explore," which is giving me Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse vibes. This piece is perfect for tech enthusiasts, thanks to camera integration, an AirTag pocket and external gear loops.
