Van de makers van Guacamelee!

In Severed you take control of a one-armed heroine wielding a living sword. Crazy, eh? You’ll be using touch based mechanics to employ offensive and defensive techniques against a variety of enemies.

You gain abilities by wearing Totems – armor pieces that are created from the remains of defeated Bosses. These abilities, such as Sunder, can be used both in combat to destroy enemy defenses and in exploration to shatter impassable barriers. The order in which you find and kill these bosses also determines the order in which you get the abilities, which will affect how you play the game.

One of the key mechanics of the game is Severing, the ability to force enemies into a vulnerable state that allows you to cut off one or more of their body parts. There is only a limited amount of time in which to choose and accurately cut these parts off. Acquired enemy pieces are used to upgrade equipment and abilities.
