About Absolver
✦ AI summary
Fight your way through the ruins of a fallen empire in this martial arts action game where you master fluid real-time combat across four tactical stances, customize your unique fighting style, and prove yourself worthy to join the elite Absolvers. Seamlessly encounter other players in a shared world where ambiguous intentions, meaningful rivalries, and lasting relationships emerge naturally through your choices—whether you're dueling in PvP arenas or cooperating to scavenge rare loot from ancient ruins.
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.

Prolly the most underrated thing this decade1 found this helpful
I bought this when it released on PS4 and it was the most amazing experience I have ever had with a video game. I never engaged with PvP in other games, but as someone who has practiced several martial arts, this felt different, almost like a real fight. After 400 hours on PS4 and now 40 on PC I can safely say that Absolver is an amazing martial arts game with a feel unlike any other action/fighting game. Absolver gives you complete freedom creating your own moveset and martial arts style. Want to be a pure boxer? A nak muay? Taekwando practitioner? You can make any fighter you want, given you learn the moves. Some bugs harshen the experience, noticeable lag makes it difficult to play online, defensive moves (dodges, parries, blocks) all have their own bugs that make them not work 100% of the time. Online community is mostly dead, PvP locked content is probably going to be forever locked away. Unless you can somehow convince someone to let you kill them literally thousands of times, you aren't going to reach combat level 1000+, which is required to buy some of the items in the essence shop. If you like PvE, the Downfall expansion helps prolong your experience. Overall, this is a…

Super underrated fighting game!
I like this game, but not many people play it. T^T
To begin with, the idea behind the system mechanics is amazing. I love the idea behind the game, and I enjoy the art style quite a bit. It reminds me of Ashen, but with a more complex combat system. As much as I'd love to recommend this game, it'd only be worth purchasing during this 90% sale as paying $30 is not worth what you get. An Absolver 2 would genuinely feed families where they expanded on the combat system and most importantly resolved the major issues of the game, when it comes to consistent bugs stated below. It's sad that the amazing concept of this game is just forgotten about Unbelievably horrible management from the developers on the part of actually making sure that the timing and consistency with blocking, parrying, and dodging all worked. Half the time I'm blocking, full stamina bar, and I take damage to the same move I just blocked. Not to mention the random lag when entering areas which makes it so that I have to relaunch the game in order to actually be able to play since all my hits register 1 second after I hit them, and all the hits I take immediately register. On the same note, parrying has the smallest window I've ever seen, and half the time it makes 0 …
