Sloclap and Devolver Digital are celebrating the launch of their new tactical action game, Absolver, with a brand new trailer showcasing the game's melee combat.

If there is one thing I can say about this title, it's that it has some style. The trailer flaunts it's simple, yet unique visuals as well as its strategic combat in both solo and multiplayer capacity. You can watch the video below to see exactly what I mean.

In the new action title, you play the role of a Prospect who wakes wearing a peculiar mask upon their face. It turns out that the mysterious mask is a product of the Guides, the rulers of the collapsed Adal Empire. It is they who have brought you to these lands to prove your worth, and determine if you have the skills to become part of the Absolvers. Explore the Adal Empire as you acquire new gear, engage in real-time combat, and garner a group of allies to fight in Arenas.

Sloclap announced its online melee combat game in May last year. Since its reveal, a plethora of trailers showcasing the game's combat and multiplayer features as well as its deep customization options. Last month, it was unveiled that Special Reserve Games would be releasing a collector's edition that contained an awesome statue, and some other goodies.

Absolver launches on August 29 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
