If you haven’t tried Absolum yet and enjoy side-scrolling action games, now is the perfect time to check it out.
As announced last month, a major update called Threads of Fate (patch 1.1) is now available for the game, adding a lot of exciting new content to an already great experience.
The game now features a lot more to do after finishing the main story, which will be great for longtime fans. The biggest addition is ‘Mystic Ordeal,’ a new mode that adds unpredictable challenges to each playthrough.
Beyond the major features, the core game has received numerous enhancements, like new settings and ways to customize your gameplay experience. It’s clear that Guard Crush Games put a lot of effort into this release.
As per the official press release, here’s a summary of what’s included in version 1.1:
- An All-New Game Mode: Heroes who complete Absolum’s main quest will unlock Mystic Ordeal, which utilizes dozens of modifiers to deliver a steep challenge with surprises and scenarios that boldly contrast from the core adventure
- Take on a fiendish Boss Rush gauntlet, carefully coordinate to avoid co-operative friendly fire, and endure onslaughts from unrelenting hordes – these are just a few of the trials awaiting you in Mystic Ordeal
- Take on challenges crafted by Absolum’s developers, or experiment with different modifier combos to create trials of your own and share them with the community through Custom Ordeal codes
- The upgrade-granting Soul Tree will share new gifts with warriors fearsome enough to overcome Mystic Ordeal’s plights
- Corrupted Regions: The update also evolves Absolum’s main campaign. After beating the campaign, you will encounter optional Corrupted Regions on your journey, and these areas offer incredible rewards for rebels hearty enough to survive the deadly dangers they harbor
- New Unlockables: The Soul Tree bears new fruit, offering two new skins for each playable character, six additional emote sets, and a way to begin runs while already owning one of the attack-granting Inspirations typically won from boss fights
- New Options and Settings: Toggle damage numbers to gauge exactly how much damage your strikes are dealing, utilize new inputs for throwable items, or enjoy the PC release’s newly uncapped framerate while basking in the game’s vibrant visuals
- Mightier Mounts: Keen-eyed brawlers will notice a new Elite rank of ridable mounts appearing in fights, which boast more damaging attacks and new behaviors
- A Trove of Improvements: Hundreds of quality-of-life refinements enrich Absolum’s thrilling gameplay and captivating adventure, including adjustments to the spawning of mysterious rifts encountered after completing the main game and the rewards they offer
