You may be familiar with Drinkbox Studios because of games like Guacamelee! or Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack! but unfortunately, their next game doesn’t have an exclamation point in the title. Severed, a PS Vita exclusive, follows the one-armed warrior Sasha. You play as Sasha after waking up “in a surreal new world after a catastrophic event,” writes Drinkbox COO Graham Smith. “After obtaining a living sword from a mysterious cloaked creature, Sasha sets off on an epic journey in search of her missing family.”
But wait! There’s more to the game than just combat! Severed takes place in a large open world filled with secrets to uncover. Each dungeon will present you with new puzzle mechanics that will be required to solve impassable barriers. Over the course of the game you’ll also find yourself re-exploring old sections of the world, using newly acquired powers to open pathways to hidden surprises, challenges, and rewards.
If you want a glimpse of the game, you can check out Severed at booth #2042 this weekend at PlayStation Experience. Supposedly, the team may or may not be giving away free codes for Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition, but you didn’t hear that from us.
