'Severed' (Vita) Gets Delayed - Screens

by Rainier on July 29, 2015 @ 8:41 a.m. PDT

Severed is a gesture-based action game that follows the saga of a distraught warrior, who is lost in a fantastical world, as she knits together pieces of her story from both the past and the future.

Filled with ghastly enemies, including three-headed constellations, six-armed swordmasters and beasts made of crows, Severed has players take control of a one-armed heroine wielding a living sword as she knits together pieces of her story from both the past and the future.

As the heroine, players will embark on a journey through a surreal, nonlinear world by using a touch-based combat mechanic to defeat enemies in this first-person adventure. During their journey, warriors will unlock new abilities, discover secrets of the mysterious world, and grow in power as they master both offensive and defensive techniques.


We wanted to give you a quick update on the progress of Severed.

The good news is that Severed is days away from hitting Alpha!

The bad news is the game won’t be out this summer as we had previously expected. Severed is a really different game from anything we’ve made before and we want to take a few additional months for playtesting and tuning so that we can make it the best game it can be. 

We also need sufficient time to add more memes and dumb jokes. 


Key Features:

  • Take on the role of a heroine in this first-person, dungeon crawleresque adventure
  • Mysterious highly stylized surreal world to explore
  • Natural-motion based mechanics to combat enemies and explore/interact with the world
  • Nonlinear gameplay gives players autonomy over upgrade paths
  • Light RPG elements, including spells and items that progressively upgrade the main character
  • Battle multiple enemies simultaneously, each with their own strengths and weaknesses to discover
  • Original soundtrack from Juno nominated band YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN and kulintang ensemble Pantayo
