After losing an arm in an accident, Steel is abandoned – like many before her – by nefarious mega-corporation, EdenSys. In the name of all those crushed under the boot of her former paymaster, Steel sets her sights on revenge.

Inspired by games such as Black, Mirror's Edge, F.E.A.R., and Half-Life mod 'The Specialists', Severed Steel focuses on nimble, acrobatic combat and features a fluid stunt system. Steel can wall run, dive, slide, and flip around the destructible environments that comprise EdenSys' Arctic superstructure.

Steel's residual limb means she can't reload weapons. When a gun is out of ammo, she must find a replacement, which often means stealing a weapon straight from the hands of an enemy. During the campaign, Steel is fitted with a permanent secondary weapon – an arm cannon capable of blowing holes in pretty much anything that gets in its way.

It's you, your trigger finger, and a steel-toed boot against a superstructure full of bad guys. Chain together wall runs, dives, flips, and slides to take every last enemy down.

Publisher Digerati and developer Greylock Studios will be running a a closed PC beta between 14-21 July, so if you're interested in participating and providing feedback to help refine the experience as it enters the final stages of development, be sure to click here to sign-up now via Discord.

Players accepted for the beta will receive a Steam key via email on 14 July.

The beta will include the following content:

• 10 campaign levels

• New enemies (including jetpacks and flamethrowers)

The beta also features changes made based on player feedback gathered during the recent Steam Next Fest (including tweaks to movement speed, HUD, and weapon balancing), so a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded and played the demo! We were absolutely blown away by the support!
