Story/Campaign Length?

I heard it was short. Like 8 hours short. Is that really true? The PVE consists of 8 hours and then it is a PVP game? I am a pvp guy, I prefer pvp. But I also would like to see some more PVE for some co-op play, as well.

A player who isnt taking his time, can beat the game in 2-3 hours. However spawns change as you level up in PvP (Called Combat Trial Level) higher NPC's spawn with new moves.

To get more PvE stuff, you need to do PvP to see it. At least for now, they plan on adding more PvE stuff like the Mines. (Which is Absolver's equivalent of dungeons.)

Ah. So it's an Early Access game in everything but the title? Odd.


Any other thoughts, concerns, or comments?

Its a multiplayer indie game, with a focus on PvP over PvE its bound to have some stuff not there at launch.

Think of how Warframe started. It started with nothing and is now a extremely popular game with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of content. Absolver could very well go down the same path.

If I had any concern for the game, it would be this:
How are they gonna sustain the game and release free updates without making more money? That makes me a bit nervous. Now im ALL for paid DLC, and i mean that by HUGE chunks of content added to the game. Ala Bethesda games. That my only concern, cause I want to see this game succeed and see it flourish into something great.

If you're REALLY good and you know the way around well, it's possible to speedrun in around 30 mins.

For a new player, it's around 6 - 10 hours depending how well you figure out where things are and how to reach them.

The first run through the story ISN'T the whole story content, and there's more lore when you face the main bosses on repeat encounters. You need PvP levels to unlock them. There's also a lot of background lore in the game linked to items you can find in the world or earn from PvP leveling.

The PvP levels are partly awarded just for experience, so you don't need to do well, but that will speed the process up. Ranked isn't in yet, and won't affect PvE (at the moment). There's also plans for added PvE content in future.
