Absolum

The Sun King Azra and his Crimson Order enslave wizards to maintain control, while a group of rebels, led by the enchantress Uchawi, rises to resist his reign.

Players control a roster of outcast heroes, each with distinct fighting styles and abilities, such as Galandra's necromantic sword attacks and Karl's close-range brawling and explosives.

Additional characters, including the prodigy wizard Brome and the elusive fighter Cider, join over the course of the campaign.

Players fight through hand-drawn 2D environments, chaining attacks and spells into combo sequences while managing limited health and resources.

Defeated enemies and exploration reward currency used for permanent upgrades and unlocks between runs.

Levels feature multiple branching routes and encounters that change with each attempt.

Runs are designed around iterative progression, dying often to acquire resources and improve stats for subsequent playthroughs.

Combat emphasizes precision, timing, and resource management.

Players can mix melee combos with magical counters and elemental powers.

There are complex systems involving dodging, pressure and clashing to avoid or counter attacks, or taking big risks for opportunities for huge damage in return.

Cooperative play is supported both locally and online, allowing players to synchronize attacks and combine elemental effects for enhanced combos.

There are also temporary boons, trinkets, coins that can be exchanged for items or to hire companions, mounts that can be ridden and secret areas.

Absolum for Nintendo Switch is currently worth €47.58 loose, €31.89 complete in box, and €29.91 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Absolum has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Absolum, loose is €47.58 and CIB is €31.89 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Absolum is currently worth €47.58 loose, versus €37.23 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
