A Rough Gem
Absolver is a peculiar fighting game. It is not your standard combo-learning/button-mashing beast, and neither is it a standard deck-builder. It is a game that shows the promise of creating your own fighting style, and if you have the patience to learn the moves and experiment with deck-building, that is exactly what it does. You can get incredibly good at it (you just need to check some youtube videos to see that), or you can be incredibly silly, and you'll find the fun in the fighting mechanics either way. I love that you don't have to worry about a meta or something of the sort. In my case, I built a deck with moves that seemed to flow nicely from one to the next, and it was a joy to perform. There are few things I wish could be improved. Trying to learn moves can be quite grindy, specially sword moves, getting fragments to buy items can also get grindy, and the main story was a bit too short. I know the focus is in the multiplayer and the developers added the dungeons/raids, which sorta have a story of its own, but I wish I had a little more to go on. Still, these are little things that, at least for me, didn't get too much in the way of enjoying the game. As for the deluxe edition, I'm a sucker for artbooks and this one was a treat. When it comes to the soundtrack, it reminded me of Dark Souls: moody, somber, and mysterious, very fitting for the world. Austin Wintory seems to be everywhere. I didn't know he had done the soundtrack until I double-checked to write this. I always recommend reading/watching other reviews and gameplay to see if you may like the game. I mostly wrote this because I want to support the developers and see a sequel or a spiritual successor of some sort. Sloclap had something amazing going on with this game, and it grabbed my attention like no other fighting game. If you're still not sure, you can always wait for a sale. Fun fact: the game was hand-animated, which is mind-blowing considering how fluid the movements are.
