To warm up for tomorrow's release of the online combat title 'Absolver', Devolver Digital released the launch trailer for the game today.
The core and heart of the gameplay lies in its multifaceted combat mechanics. The so-called Prospects initially venture alone into the plains of Adal, encountering both AI-controlled enemies and live players – this unique blend is a central focus of the gameplay structure. Players will roam the world as their own independent "server," as the game seamlessly integrates other Prospects into their experience.
Once players encounter each other, they can choose to engage in friendly sparring, more aggressive PvP combat, or cooperative PvE gameplay with up to three players at once. Through online co-op, all prospects will be able to learn new moves directly from each other, progress towards absolution, and gain experience points that can be applied to one of six attributes – thus selectively improving their abilities.
Absolver also features a unique combat school game mode where advanced players create their own school, which other players can then join. The creator of this school effectively becomes a mentor to these students, and this relationship allows the mentor's students to utilize their combat decks and the extensive catalog of advanced moves within them.
First DLC content announced
Developer Sloclap has also announced the first of many free content updates for the game – designed to further expand the world of Absolver and address community requests. Through extensive testing and a closed beta, early participants requested features such as 3v3 mode, ranked matches, and a spectator mode – allowing them to watch the action and then jump in when it's their turn. These three features will be among the first free additions, along with more combat styles and moves for players' combat decks.
Absolver will be available from tomorrow, Tuesday.
