Additionally, <em>Absolum<\/em> will feature roguelike mechanics, earning it the term &#8220;rogue-&#8217;em-up.&#8221; Although the specifics of these mechanics are still under wraps, they are expected to add a new layer of depth to the gameplay.<\/p>\n<p><em>Absolum<\/em> will offer both solo campaign and co-op modes, with support for local and online play.
