Critic Reviews for Severed

Severed is at its best when it features short, tactical fights in its eerily beautiful dungeons, but those battles largely lose their appeal by the second half. Combat becomes tedious due to boring buffs instead of introducing new ideas in order to make battles more challenging. That blow to the combat’s longevity wouldn’t have felt so bad if exploring the bizarre world weren’t so tedious.

Drinkbox Studios' Severed is a touch-based action RPG with an interesting premise, incredible visuals, and fun gameplay that simply overstays its welcome a little.

A beautiful throwback that's just a touch too shallow.

A fantastically strange and unique first person adventure that manages to make touchscreen controls seem fresh and interesting again.

Even after I completed the final challenge of the story, I couldn’t wait to dive back in

Severed's distinct look and touchscreen controls make it more than your average dungeon crawler.

Severed's terrific mechanics are as universal as its moving story

Top marks to Drinkbox for daring to be different, and using the PS Vita's touch screen to create a unique gestural combat system. The action can be somewhat repetitive at times, but Severed's story is compelling enough to keep driving you on. That, combined with the beautiful-looking graphics deliver a dungeon crawler that's well worth experiencing.
