Like the pair's work on Streets of Rage 4 before it, Dotemu and Guard Crush Games' latest title, Absolum, is a game whose art direction and visuals are working overtime to serve as one of its definitive features. Similarly, Dotemu and Guard Crush have once again teamed up with a studio that has extensive experience creating hand-drawn visuals with fluid animations, only instead of it being an indie game developer like Streets of Rage 4's Lizardcube, it's an animation studio: Supamonks. But while Supamonks has primarily focused on animation for other mediums, the studio is by no means a stranger to game development.
