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.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Absolum [Special Edition] for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Absolum [Special Edition] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2025.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Absolum [Special Edition], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
