Description
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 three-on-three melees 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.

Offline Single-Player Experience Available: Journey on an adventure that will take you from Prospect to Absolver in an exciting campaign, available both online and offline. The single-player mode pits you, and you alone, against lost Prospects and legendary warriors in the ruins of the Adal empire - complete with all content, free of interactions and encounters with other players.

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 CONTENT UPDATES
The development team at Sloclap is dedicated to improving and expanding Absolver based on community feedback once the game is live. In the coming weeks and months, Prospects can expect regular updates to the game to fix any issues that appear, as well as both minor and major content updates. These updates already include 3v3 Game Mode and a Spectator Mode soon after launch, but many more updates can be expected, from new combat styles and moves to new powers and equipment.


Please note:
Absolver features public crossplay matches which you can play with your friends regardless where the game was purchased (PC only).
Multiplayer Notice: Please note that GOG GALAXY is required to access Multiplayer. Some fighting techniques and boss fight rematches must be one-time unlocked in online mode. Once unlocked, they carry over to the single player game."

One of the best adventure fighting game

Absolver offers a unique martial arts experience with a deep, customizable combat system that lets you create your own fighting style. The action is engaging, and the visuals and sound design are excellent, creating an immersive atmosphere. However, enemy encounters are sparse, making the world feel a bit empty at times. The game can also be quite difficult, with controls that occasionally feel clunky. Despite this, Absolver stands out as a creative and rewarding experience for fans of challenging, strategic combat.

Terrible

As soon as ANYONE has even a little bit better connection than you - it's over - no matter how good you are. Waste of time and money. Save yours and buy a hooker or something worthwhile. This is epically bad.

Fun!

I have really enjoyed my time so far in Absolver. It's combat is fun and unique, and I don't even like fighting games. I beat the story mode in about 5 hours, but haven't had the chance to touch online yet (thanks servers). Environments are wonderfully breathed to life, fighting is fluid, music is excellent and fitting, overall it''s quite good.

No LAN? Again?

What's the point of having no LAN and to be forced to be online for playing multiplayer locally? It's a form of DRM, and it shouldn't be here. Make the multiplayer portion of the game playable offline with no external program needed.

Closest experience to the DS online mode

Absolver is a pretty unique game, and as everything that is like that has its good things and its bad things, and it will not reach to everyone in the same way. it must be said that it is a game developed by an independent study, which confers a distinctive air. The game is PVE and PVP. You can level up your character and spend point on your stats as well as customize their appearance with objects that modify the statistics (rpg part of the game) PVE: the content of the game is scarce, it is probably its greatest weakness, the story mode lasts approximately 4 to 6 hours, there are a couple of short video sequences and that's it, that's all. There is really no lore or anything to go deeper into. You can play alone (totally offline) or in a mode that reminds you of Dark Souls (online), where you find three or four other people in your world, you can cooperate or fight between you. But the three main bosses can only face you alone. PVP: this is the main mode, basically consists of a series of arenas (there are great number of scenarios) and combat 1v1 (3v3 announced) where you have to defeat your opponent three times. With each combat you get exp. and when you level up the "combat trials" you get objects. Level up these trials allows you two things, the first is to be able to face the higher versions of the game bosses (who need to have the trials at a certain level to be able to face them again), the second, create your own school of fight and teach it to other users, this requires effort and dedication). This is a mechanic somewhat nonsense, having to acquire some level in an online tests to be able to defeat (again) some enemies offline... have not sense and I think it makes the fact that indicate in the description that you can play the adventure offline pretty unethical, but it's my opinion. Basically that's it, what for me is a really great lack of content. You have a long tutorial (pve) and a normal fight mode (pvp). The combat system is really amazing, all the moves are real and its execution is really incredible, you can (and in fact is the best of the game) customize the entire combat system, create your style.You learn new moves fighting opponents with other styles. The combats are technical and can become very epic, (of course there is always some fool that just repeats the same movement and tries to crush you against a wall and takes away all the fun). Overall the community is quite good, besides there is no type of chat or usual mode of communication (as in Dark Souls). Visually the game is awesome, beautiful and unique (it remind me the Breath of the Wild artistical style). The world is small but you can move freely and it isn't linear, but it's empty, like i said. You only fight with pnc, with a very challenging AI, while you just try to reach the three bosses of the game. I really like the game, I want to give it a three and half stars, but I only can choose 3 or 4 so I chose 4 instead. I recommend it, but you definitely need to consider the kind of game it is and their lack of content.
