Absolver

Absolver

In the ruins of the fallen Adal Empire, you awaken with a mysterious mask on your face, and faint recollections of an esoteric ceremony. Freeing you from hunger, thirst, and even death, the mask is the creation of the Guides, the rulers of these lands, who have placed you here to determine whether you are worthy of becoming part of the elite corps of Absolvers. As you wander these forsaken lands, encountering other Prospects like you, you will learn new combat styles, acquire weapons, gear and armor, and build a team of warriors with whom to fight side by side in Arenas of combat.

Fluid Real-Time Combat: Position yourself in one of four tactical stances during real-time battles and execute devastating attacks, dodges, and parries. Movement becomes your weapon as you engage in solo duels or intense multiplayer melee battles.

Customizable Style and Flow: Players will define their character’s playstyle by picking a combat style, a weapon of choice, and arranging attacks in their Combat Deck to design their unique and personal attack flow.

Online Multiplayer Action and Narrative: Prospects and Absolvers will seamlessly encounter others in the world, generating unique stories that emerge through player interaction and choices. These moments are filled with tension as intentions to battle or befriend are never clear: trust is always a leap of faith. Encounters will have lasting consequences and transform into meaningful relationships as you make friends or enemies and find mentors or disciples.

PvP and PvE: Explore a rich and dynamic world including dedicated PvP battle arenas where champions will receive spoils of victory and progress in the ranks of the Absolvers, and PvE areas in which players cooperatively battle to retrieve rare loot and equipment from the ruins of Adal.

Absolver Review

Absolver is a fighting game. A 1v1 or 3v3 fighter, and despite all its faults, Absolver the best damn fighter I’ve ever played. Oftentimes when it comes to fighting games I can’t get into them. I can’t pick a character I like, I can’t be bothered to learn movesets, the button presses are too hard and make me feel stupid, there are a whole slew of reasons why. I don’t get that in absolver. One, I get to make the character. Two, I make the moveset. Three, the controls and button presses are simple, and all the complexity comes from how you USE them. That’s the type of complexity I like to see in games.

It’s difficult to figure out, but when you do, oh my. When you learn how to play this game and you feel like Jackie Chan or the girl from crouching tiger hidden dragon?? There aren’t words.

Anyway. I feel like there’s a lot of undeserved hate for this game that stems from a bunch of hype that didn’t come from the developers themselves. And it’s become something of a meme now. Just try it out. Especially if you like fighting games. Wait for a free weekend or a sale and try it out, put a day into it. Go into 1v1s and get the snot beat out of you, then ask whoever beat you up to teach you the mechanics. Because that’s where Absolver really starts.

Summary
Absolver has a few problems, then, yet they're not impactful enough to take away from its unique strengths. There's a significant challenge involved in learning Absolver's combat intricacies, but it's the kind of struggle that rarely frustrates. Defeat is part and parcel of the experience, but your demise always teaches you something new that you can take with you into the next battle--and Absolver's deep, nuanced combat always finds ways of enticing you back for one more fight.
