Severed

Severed is a fantastic adventure in more ways than one. Combat is satisfying and serves a genuine purpose, there’s lots to explore and revisit, and everything looks both wonderful and strange. In short, consider this one a must play.

Severed is simply an immersive piece of entertainment that is a must have on the iOS platform.

I highly recommend checking out Severed if you like dungeon crawlers, exploration games, puzzles, and RPGs. It’s a game that should not be missed.

Severed is a super compelling game that looks great. It's mechanics go to surprising depths and the sword-swiping combat feels fantastic on iOS. Simply put, Severeddelivers on pretty much all fronts, making it easy to recommend.

Severed is just a game that's all-around cool. Its aesthetic is top-notch, its combat is deep and engaging. Plus, DrinkBox didn't skimp on the iOS-specific features including screen recording and cloud saves (though manually done, not automatic). This looked like a must-play since its initial announcement, and while it took a bit of a circuitous path to iOS – and I don't blame DrinkBox, if you can find a way to sell a game for a higher price on other systems first, do it – it's home now, and it's a must-play.

A fantastically strange and unique first person adventure that manages to make touchscreen controls seem fresh and interesting again. Fantastic art and sound design, and a highly original premise that still maintains a hint of the familiar. Minimalist but effective storytelling. Deep upgrade system. Combat can get repetitive, especially at the beginning.

Grievances aside, Severed is loaded with ambition and is so slick, stylish, and damn pretty it'll melt your eyeballs.

With it's original style and finely honed gameplay, either Severed is a crazy diamond of a game or I'm tripping. Or both.
