Absolver is a 3rd person martial-arts based fighting game from developer Sloclap Studios.
It essentially looks like a mash up of Dark Souls, Remember Me, and a few other things. It has a 'meditation' system that allows you to rest and change out martial arts skills in templates to adjust your stances and movesets. From the very brief gameplay available, there appears to be a very broad range of moves and styles.
The pacing of the game is akin to a slightly slower Dark Souls. It's real time based combat with punches, kicks, dodges, blocks, and weapons. There also appeared to be a huge selection of weapons.
There are things called 'tension crystals' that are represented by small white stones on your back that function as a method of healing yourself or using a stone to draw a weapon - the intention being, I believe, that in order to balance out using a powerful weapon you sacrifice healing. Very cool IMO.
Game's graphics are stylized in a nice smooth manner with a lot of earth tone palletes and use of a mix of old and modern styles mashed together. The environments seem to be very clean and minimal.
Skills drop like items from enemies as well as regular gear like armor and weapons, and apparently you can trade skills and gear as well. It has an RPG element to it but I am not sure how in depth any sort of stat or levelling system is in place if at all.
They emphasize a strong basis of online human interaction that includes chat, trading, co op, and PvP. Not sure if single player or offline mode is a thing yet. Might have missed that information if it is already available.
As someone who loves this style of combat in games and having practiced martial arts my whole life, I am so incredibly excited to play this game. It looks fun as hell, unique, and anything with a lot of coop or PvP is a huge plus for me.
Release date is slated for sometime in 2017. Game looks rather well put together already from the available information.
For some reason I can't post links and right this second but I am trying to fix it. Will update ASAP.
