Absolver is a martial arts-focused action role-playing video game developed by Sloclap, a Parisian indie game developer composed of former Ubisoft Paris employees. Players control warrior characters who fight other players and computer-controlled characters across the fictional land of Adal to prove their worthiness of joining the Absolver peacekeepers. The game's story is focused on the human development of the characters as they fight to find their place in the collapsed empire. The character's fighting moves are customized in a "combat deck" of cards, with each card assigned to a move. Players earn cards, equipment, and weapons by progressing through the game.

Sloclap began Absolver development in May 2015. Their core game concept was to have fluid, dynamic movement, similar to dance. Absolver debuted at the June 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo under publisher Devolver Digital, and is planned for release in 2017 on OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows platforms.
