Here is an overview of the game, via Dotemu:
Magic has been banned, but the resistance rises on Xbox! Defy Sun King Azra and his ruthless Crimson Order. Master the arts of combat, unlock powerful magical abilities, and team up with friends in co-op to restore magic to the world of Talamh.
Absolum blends arcade-like melee combat with spells, counters, and upgradable abilities. Choose from four uniquely powerful fighters and embark on a grand, high-stakes quest across beautifully hand-crafted stages.
With its fast-paced beat ’em up action and endless roguelite replayability, Absolum challenges you with multiple paths to explore and unpredictable encounters for a new experience each time you play.
