Absolver is an online multiplayer action role-playing game developed by Sloclap, set in a mysterious, dilapidated world known as the Airstrip. Players assume the role of a character known as a " prospect," who is tasked with proving themselves worthy of becoming an Absolver, a member of an elite order tasked with maintaining balance in their environment. The game eschews traditional linear quests for a more open-ended experience, allowing players to explore the expansive world and engage in dynamic combat with both AI-controlled characters and other players.
Combat in Absolver is a key focus, featuring a unique martial arts system that combines real-time action with an in-depth customization of moves and styles. Players can learn and create their own combat techniques by experiencing various fighting styles, which can be further tailored through the game's "Combat Deck" system. This allows for a personalized approach to fighting, giving players the agency to adapt to different opponents and scenarios. The game's visual aesthetic is characterized by a stylized art direction and smooth animations, creating an immersive experience as players navigate the intricacies of both exploration and duel-based gameplay. As players progress, they can form alliances, learn from one another, and develop their characters in a world that fosters both competition and collaboration.
