Waking as a Prospect in the broken lands of the former Adal Empire, you wear a mask that protects you against hunger, thirst and death. The Guides who now rule the land are testing whether you deserve a place among the Absolvers, so you travel the ruined territory, meet other Prospects, pick up weapons and armor, and learn new fighting styles before joining others in arena combat.
Combat is real-time and built around four stances, with a customizable set of moves. Online play covers both PvP and co-op, and a single-player route is available too. It suits players who enjoy melee fighting systems they can study and tailor, within a mysterious setting.

How this game plays best, and the gear to match: a best-value pick and an upgrade for each.
Low-latency mouse
Fast aim in Absolver needs a light mouse with a quick wireless link. The G305 is a cheap lag-free wireless pick; the Superlight 2 is what pros use.
