Games like Absolum
If you want another run-based brawler, the closest public neighbors are Streets of Rage 4 from the same studios, the co-op beat ’em ups Shredder’s Revenge and Castle Crashers, and the solo roguelites Hades and Dead Cells. Towerborne is the newer co-op action neighbor.
Side by side
I compared store pages, not a personal ranking from play. Streets of Rage 4 shares Dotemu and Guard Crush with Absolum and stays a linear co-op brawler. Hades and Dead Cells share the run structure and drop the second player. Shredder’s Revenge and Castle Crashers keep local and online co-op and drop the roguelite map.
Dragon’s Crown is the older fantasy-brawler ancestor. It has no current Steam price in this set, so it stays a one-line ancestor instead of a fake row of numbers.
