Absolver Reviews
Absolver is a 3d fighter that shows off a very interesting engine, but doesn’t do enough with it. The game short, and the PVP is dying with player counts in the low triple digits.
While Absolver seems to get the combat aspect of things down well enough, it fails to back it up with any meaningful direction and content for players, resulting in an entirely forgettable experience.
Absolver is the kind of game that is brilliant when you focus on its combat, but when you start to look at the overall product you start to notice the imperfections.
Overall I think Absolver is very decent. It reminds me a little of the good old days of Double Dragon on Atari.
Absolver does a great job of throwing a wrench in conventional fighting game mechanics. Building your own combat deck, using real martial arts styles and utilizing stylized graphics sets Absolver apart from the crowd. Not being able to use a map or knowing how strong your enemies will be sometimes made the game a little less desirable to play though.
Absolver requires work but it rewards you so much for investing the time its a clever clever game.
Absolver is great at its core, but it definitely needs more meat on its bones if it wants to stick around.
Absolver bring new mechanics to the fighting game genre in a way that feels welcoming both to newcomers and veterans alike.

Overall, Absolver delivers the most exciting thing to a martial arts game, carefully crafted to enjoy with other players, showing off the combos you created and unlocking exciting stance and styles for your character. This is a must for the fans of the fighting genre, this may have a few and frustrating issues, but if you take time on building and molding your character to be the best martial artist out there, then this is worth your time.
Absolver presents a brutal yet rewarding experience that gets going from the offset. Longevity is the titles main sticking point. However, with future updates looking to add to the game, it's worth sinking your fists into.
Absolver is a heavy hitter and as such, a lot of its punches are wild swings that miss their target.
Absolver is a unique blend of deep martial arts combat, RPG systems, and social interaction. Sloclap’s dedication to their combat mechanics is obvious and it has paid off. The game boasts one of the deepest systems for skirmishes I have yet to encounter. This lies at the heart of Absolver and it is a solid foundation on which to build the rest of the game. Thanks to the quality of combat and the visual appeal of the striking art style, the shortcomings found within the AI and narrative do not hinder the overall experience to a crippling degree. Absolver definitely gets far more right than wrong, weaving a worthwhile venture for all but those looking for a strong single player outing.
Without any connection issues, Absolver sings as one of the most promising indie titles this year. There is so much to do and the variety of different attacks on display is astounding; it might take some time to unlock them by fighting others, but it is time well invested. It might only have 3 basic Styles, but you can make the complex and pay homage to some of your favourite martial artists with a variety of form defining attacks, like massive flying knees, low sweeps, or spinning backfists.
Absolver is a flawed gem, delivering excellent multiplayer action and a short but entertaining campaign in spite of numerous technical issues.
Overall, though, Absolver’s core systems are very strong and I am eagerly looking forward to revisiting the Adal Empire when Sloclap drops new content.
Absolver is by far one of the most interesting and innovative fighting games I have played in the recent times, where the appeal of learning martial arts and getting good at it is satisfying due to the way it presents its world and fighting mechanics through combat deck.
Absolver is a love letter to martial arts, and fans of melee combat will love its complex and rewarding combat system. The game can be a little grindy at times, but it manages to offer some great bone-crushing moments, so it’s a great addition to any beat-em-up collection
This is definitely a game everyone should try, especially if you’re a fan of beat ‘em ups.
Absolver is a title that, despite numerous problems, is trying to provide an engaging experience and can be said to have achieved some. If you're a fan of the fighting style or roleplaying, it's not bad to sit down and enjoy the game for hours.
