Severed on PSV, Switch etc. is a dynamic action game set in a fantasy atmosphere. The project was developed by the well-known Mutant Blobs Attack and the hit Guacamelee studio DrinkBox.

Story

Players take on the role of a warrior who, after waking up, discovers that she has lost her left hand and during her adventures will have to learn the truth about how her mutilation took place. The action is set in a land full of magic, fantastic civilizations and ancient ruins with an open structure, which we explore from the perspective of the first person. The authors have not introduced any artificial restrictions on the freedom of exploring the land and the player will die at most, having plunged into areas inhabited by too powerful enemies.

Mechanics

The game is mainly about engaging in dynamic battles with various enemies. The combat system is based on gestures and is easy to master, but reaching the mastery level requires a lot of work. Ordinary cuts are made by drawing lines in places we want to attack, and more complex techniques are activated by drawing appropriate symbols. Each opponent has their own fighting style and to win, we need to learn about their strengths and weaknesses. The mechanics of chopping off opponents of limbs also plays a key role. This is not only an effective way to eliminate enemies - such cut parts can then be attached to the heroine's body, increasing her combat potential and providing access to new combat techniques and spells.

Technical issues

The strong point of Severed for PSV platform, Switch etc. is an unusual graphic design, which was made in the style modeled on European comics for mature customers. The positive impressions are further enhanced by the minimalist interface, designed to make its elements appear on the screen as little as possible.
