Review Absolum by Outerhaven Productions
Strong blend of roguelike and 2D beat ?em up gameplay
Branching paths and unpredictable encounters keep runs fresh
Distinct roster of characters encourages experimentation
Gorgeous hand-drawn art and top-tier soundtrack
Excellent voice acting that elevates the story
Roguelike structure may not appeal to players wanting a straight brawler
Runs are on the long side

Review Absolum by NextN
The design of the world, its context and its visual aspect are those that leave you speechless.
The elements of roguelite. They are not introduced just for fun. They are designed to the point of boredom and built with that in mind.
Each character is completely different and with the variations offered by the roguelite, there are many different approaches to playing each of them.
To be picky, he has the kind of flaw that if you are not exactly at the same height as the enemy, many area attacks do not hit.
There are some bosses that are reused with a simple makeover. It's something typical of the genre, but it's surprising to see it in a game that is visually detailed.

Absolum reviewed by Nintendo Life
Review Absolum by Nintendo Life
A fresh, original take on genres past that flourishes through clever design
Visually and aurally superb, forming a world you feel compelled to see all of
One of the deepest and smartest combat formulas in any roguelike action game
Incredibly enjoyable in multiplayer, engineered to run smoothly
The initial grind may be slower than you expect, demanding considerable repetition
Some may find the voice acting quality questionable in places
Difficult to see why multiplayer and local co-op is restricted to only two-players

GamingBolt
Gorgeous art direction and animation
Fantastic soundtrack courtesy of a star-studded cast
Stellar combat with each character offering a fun, unique playstyle
Plenty of room for different entertaining builds
Extensive replay value thanks to random events and a narrative that evolves over multiple runs
Persistent progression can feel a little unexciting, especially in the early going when it's just stat increases
Takes a while to get rolling in the initial hours
Some characters don't get as much as narrative development
Story-telling has a few holes

Review Absolum by Pizza Fria
The art of the game is simply magnificent.
Combat too enjoyable to play
Extremely addictive roguelike structure
Soundtrack of the year
The game is localized in Brazilian Portuguese.
Some small bugs are appearing in the game.
The story may be too simple for those who were expecting something more complex.

Review Absolum by Nintendo-Town
Les graphismes, visuellement tout est simplement magnifique
Avoir réussi à inclure du roguelite équilibré qui ne dénature pas le genre
Dépoussière le genre du Beat Them All sans renier le passé
Les musiques par de grands compositeurs
Agréable en solo, génial en duo
Un mode en ligne avec une progression bien réfléchie et expliquée dans le jeu
Un gameplay au poil avec plein de subtilités
Un joyeux bordel organisé
Une bonne durée de vie (10-20h) pour le genre
Des options d?ajustement (dégâts reçus / infligés) présentes, optionnelles et agréables
Seulement 4 personnages
Personnages qui ne changent drastiquement pas le gameplay
Une difficulté, sans être absurde, qui peut refroidir les moins aguerris

Review Absolum by Multiplayer.it
The combat system is extraordinary, almost perfect.
The synergies between powers give rise to amusing mergers.
Great care for the artistic aspect of the production
The cards tend to repeat a little too much.
There is a problem with the balancing of the characters.
Once all the upgrades for the heroes are obtained, the level of challenge decreases too much.

Review Absolum by ActuGaming
Artistic direction that hits the mark
A rogue'em up recipe that works wonders
Excellent gameplay: easy to pick up, impactful, addictive.
The feeling of adventure and discovery that emanates from the experience
The wise know how to reward us and renew the parts without boring us.
High quality soundtrack
Cooperation on-site or online, with its specificities
The commendable narrative efforts
Unforgettable bosses
It still lacks hits per character
The level design does not renew itself enough.
A challenge too quickly tamed, especially in cooperation

Vandal

Review Absolum by Vandal
An artistic and audiovisual style with its own personality.
The fights, with their dynamism and versatility, are among the best we have enjoyed in the genre.
Some aspects specific to roguelites bring variety to the whole...
... even if others are unable to fully adapt to the game proposal.
There is a lack of variety in the biomes.
The AI of the mercenaries is very very limited.

Review Absolum by MeriStation
Very diverse and frenetic game: four characters, numerous possibilities to create builds...
Fabulous artistic section, it looks like a European-style comic book.
There is no unimportant race: we always discover something new in the form of an object, character, side mission, etc...
Quite longer than it seems, especially when looking at the map as a whole.
At first, we may feel a certain sense of repetition with the enemies.
The AI of allies is often very limited.

Review Absolum by GameHope
Immediate and addictive handling
Possibility to create a large number of builds
The coop, a real treat
Impeccable achievement on all fronts
Many surprises
An affordable challenge and good balance
A lack of varied moves for a beat'em up
Serious readability issues (in co-op) that are truly penalizing.
An unconvincing scenario
Necessarily repetitive after a while (blame it on the genres)

Gorgeous 2D art
Satisfying and fast-paced combat
Good attention to lore and worldbuilding
Not many rituals feel substantial to your moment-to-moment gameplay
The player relies a lot more on incremental meta upgrades and trinkets instead of ritual synergies
Some inspirations would work better as permanent upgrades

Review Absolum by GameOver
Pleasure of the battle in melee.
Beautiful field of vision.
Good soundtrack.
Variety of enemies.
Roguelike elements function more as an obstacle than as a successful extension of the duration.
The different events/quests are very limited.
Boring scenario.

Beautiful in aesthetics and in sound
Solid crossover between beat 'em up and roguelike
Physical combat system, muscular
So many surprises in the improvements and the pace
A little frustration dictated by the casualness of the Rites.
System of permanent progression a little fast
We want more characters!
