r/ABSOLUM

I'm about 20–30 hours into the game and absolutely hooked. I finally managed to beat Azra, and this loadout felt incredible. How does my build look to you guys? Any tips on how to optimize it further?

Translation:

With over 500,000 sales under its belt, the roguelike beat 'em up Absolum is a major success for French publisher Dotemu. Unfortunately, partner studio Supamonks—responsible for all the game's visuals—has now entered court-ordered liquidation, catching everyone by surprise.

Released in October 2025, Absolum was easily a standout favorite for the Gamekult editorial team. It is always a treat to see two exceptional French projects (alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33). While Dotemu and Guard Crush Games (Streets of Rage 4) handled the design and technical aspects, the graphics were created by the animation studio Supamonks, whom we met during a roundtable discussion (read our interview). Sadly, Gautoz from Origami has now reported—citing official evidence—that Supamonks has been in court-ordered liquidation since June 24, following a ruling by the Créteil Commercial Court.

What does the future hold for the Absolum series?

While the reasons for this liquidation have yet to be fully clarified, we can already say it is a heavy blow for Dotemu, which was counting on Absolum's success to launch an animated series in collaboration with Supamonks. Indeed, following a strong start with 200,000 units sold in the first week, Dotemu had immediately greenlit production of this spin-off, intended to showcase the French company's first in-house intellectual property. "Given their involvement in the game's art direction and the quality of their work, Supamonks is the ideal partner for this ambitious project," CEO Cyrille Imbert had stated.

Will the Absolum animated series move forward with another partner, or is the project doomed to the scrap heap? We may get an answer in a few weeks or months, once the situation has been analyzed and people start speaking openly about it.

I'm doing some ordeals with characters other than Karl, who's my dude for all ordeals.

Got Frome pumped up arcanas, chaos, time, and necromancy. Arcana produces two chaos events, and criticals open portals too.

Last part of the prison in Jaroba and the green slugs and guards are pummeling me and I panic, so three arcanas in a row.

30 minutes later and I can still hear a poor chicken going wild and running, since portals are fiery too.

I think I might not finish this run, friends.

So it's written I'm at 110% but I don't know if I did everything or not (i did all the "challenges") so let me hear about funny things casual player probably missed please

Anything that applies to chaos echo + mana Flow + fatal Flow = fast and massive damage with arcanas!

I was just messing around with oil and this happened
