Greetings, rebels!⚔️
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Absolum’s third playable character: Cider, an enigmatic fusion of human and construct, carefully rebuilt from near death by a mysterious puppeteer.
Today’s trailer showcases Cider’s unique moveset which draws from a life spent with bandits and rogues, using high-flying kicks, handaxes, and an extendable arm to spar with the menacing beasts prowling Absolum’s world.

In the world of Talamh, a cataclysmic event caused by magic prompted the Sun King Azra to conquer all lands and sources of magic through brutal warfare, slaughtering any wizard unwilling to serve him. Talamh’s hope now lies with a defiant band of rebels aided by a mysterious, mythical mentor known as Uchawi and the similarly powerful Root Sisters, who together oppose Azra’s pursuit of total power by wielding an ancient, forbidden magic. These mythical forces empower our rebels with astonishing magic as they stoke a resistance, fight Azra’s iron grip on Talamh, and discover the secret behind Azra’s ever-growing dominion.
Cider will be joining Galandra, our Shadow Warrior, and our beloved poet Karl in the fight against the deadly Sun King and his Crimson Order.
We’re absolutely ecstatic to announce that Absolum will have an exclusive demo during the upcoming Steam Next Fest, starting June 9th!
We hold this project very close to our hearts, and we cannot wait for you to dive into the game and get a hands-on glimpse of what our Rogue ‘Em Up formula is all about!
