ABSOLUM: CIDER REVEAL – PLAY THE DEMO DURING STEAM NEXT FEST!

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.

Discover Cider’s arsenal in action in our brand-new trailer:


Watch on YouTube

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.

From the destruction, new heroes rise


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.

See you at the Steam Next Fest!


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!

Absolum’s first-ever Demo will feature:

  • ⚔️ Three Playable Fighters: Play as the sword-clad fighter Galandra, the sturdy dwarf Karl, or the new entry Cider, each boasting distinct playstyles and advantages.
  • 🔓 Unlockable Advantages: Boost your stats with earned XP and gain new abilities and elemental powers to tailor a hard-hitting moveset to your playstyle.
  • 🗺️ Rich Exploration: Explore the lands of Grandery, a mountainous, jagged coastline where a delicate harmony between goblins, humans, and dwarves has been eroded by greed and fresh bloodshed.
  • 💬 Rewarding Quests: Reach deeper into Absolum’s fascinating world by discovering and clearing optional quests, gaining intel and treasure alike
  • 💥 A Climatic Boss Fight: Test your mastery of battle against The Underking, a titan-sized, maddened ruler armed with a wide-reaching pickaxe that spews flames and lobs crushing boulders!
