Decide How You Fight, Hone Your Skills, and Win as an Absolver
Gamers and martial arts enthusiasts have something very special to look forward to in Absolver, the new game by Independent developer Slocap and Devolver Digital. The game offers unique combat mechanics to facilitate a fluid experience where players battle each other and showcase their skills. See what makes Absolver stand out in the new “Combat Overview” trailer below:
Recap. As an Absolver, you can choose between three combat styles, each giving the player their own abilities:
- Kahlt Method – Absorb hits without being stunned or pushed back, and regain lost health with every successful counter attack.
- Forsaken – Balanced and powerful, prospects can parry enemy attacks and briefly stun opponents.
- Windfall – Greater dexterity and will, prospects can avoid enemy attacks leaving them open to a powerful counter attack.
However, more combat styles exist out in the world. Therefore, you’re more likely to find your ideal mode of fighting as you travel. Additionally, going out into the world and finding a mentor is an option. Players can choose to learn new techniques from trainers or stick with a technique they like and hone it, unlocking new abilities with each round of practice.
Abilities are customized in the Combat Deck. You decide your own set of moves and the sequence; it is via this mechanic that players develop their own fighting style. Think of it as an inventory of attacks. Moreover, fighting styles can be switched mid-combat, that way you keep your opponents guessing.
