The online melee combat game Absolver is, as you would expect, all about fighting an opponent with limbs and weapons. Most of the footage that has been released for the game focuses on combat styles without a real look at weapons however. In today’s trailer that changes as the use of weapons and powers is highlighted, showing how they can be both advantage and disadvantage.
The first thing to note are the tension shards which require powering up through battle. Once their limit has been reached these shards can be used to summon different types of powers, or can be wielded as a weapon. These weapons can do a lot of damage but are susceptible to breaking. The weapon can also be taken by an opponent should they land a few decent hits on you too.
Absolver releases on August 29th for PC and PS4.
