Out into Absolum

Absolum offers a small but exciting cast of rebels for you to pick from, whether that's the starting duo of the shadowy Galendra and her colossal sword, or Karl, the last free dwarf of the realm. And later on the duo are joined by the wizarding prodigy Brome and the enigmatic Cider, both of whom offer new and interesting ways to play.

Even better, if you're a fan of modern roguelites you'll find plenty to enjoy in Absolum. Because aside from offering beat 'em up action, you'll also have the ability to slowly accrue upgrades, new gear and items that can be carried from run to run.

Absolum has proved to be very popular with players on PC, so no doubt mobile will find a similar reception! You can purchase Absolum on iOS and Android now, with a 30% launch discount for the first two weeks after release!

But, if beat 'em ups really aren't your thing, don't feel you're going without a new release to enjoy! Instead, just take a gander at our list of the five new mobile games to try this week, for some choice picks of the last seven days we think are worth playing!
