Absolver: Adalian Forest Pack, Absolver: Deluxe Edition Upgrade
Description
The Absolver: Deluxe Edition Upgrade includes the official soundtrack from Austin Wintory and The Art of Absolver 52-page digital artbook. These items are part of the Absolver: Deluxe Edition package.

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."

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.

An annoying DRM game again

Requires GOG Galaxy client to play multiplayer. How am I supposed to do that on Linux?
