Severed

About

Severed is a first-person dungeon crawler where you swipe to hack and slash through hordes of enemies. The game’s touch-based combat relies on quick gestures to parry dodge and strike as you dig deeper into procedurally generated levels. Your weapons and armor come from harvesting limbs and organs from fallen foes. Each severed body part upgrades your gear or unlocks new crafting recipes forcing you to balance looting with survival in increasingly tough encounters. The tactile combat and darkly charming art style set Severed apart. Players praise the clever use of touch mechanics which make every fight feel urgent and hands-on. A steady challenge curve and tight level design keep runs fresh even after multiple deaths. Though short on story the game’s quirky tone and roguelike elements earned it a loyal following since its 2016 release. Community reviews highlight its addictive loop of failure and improvement making it a standout indie title on handheld and mobile platforms.
