Absolum has four different characters available for the players, and you can unlock them all to enjoy more options.
While the game offers you two picks by default, you can expand your roster pretty soon. The actual time taken will differ depending on how well you’re doing on your run and the speed of your progression. This guide will provide you with all the required information about the full roster, before discussing who is the best character.
How to unlock all characters in Absolum
The table below has all the information you need to know to unlock all four characters in Absolum.
| Character | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Karl | Available by default |
| Galandra | Available by default |
| Cider | Cider is the first of the two unlockable characters in Absolum. You’ll find Gazog in an encounter, and then take him down. Gazog isn’t the most demanding boss you’ll come across; however, he can still dish out decent damage. Once you take care of Gazog, visit the Goblin Village. There, you’ll need to assist Cider in a battle, and she will then become available for selection. |
| Brome | Brome is the second of two characters to unlock in the game. You’ll encounter him in Jaroba and then help him in a battle to add him to your roster. It’s fair to say that Brome will likely take a long time for you reach him. |
Which is the best character in Absolum
All four characters in Absolum have their unique playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses. You can clear the game with all of them. However, my favorite character is Galandra.
She’s available from the start, and her kit is better than that of Karl. Galandra’s playstyle is highly suitable for every style of player. It does just the right amount of damage without being overpowered. Once you upgrade some of your Rituals from Vikhana, Galandra will definitely be the easiest character to master to clear the game.
If you want to go for a ranged playstyle instead, go with Brome. His kit is pretty simple and fun to play for those who don’t want to get too close to the enemies. And if things are too challenging, you can always change the difficulty from the settings.
