    Due to the player character’s smooth movement, Severed Steel is an exhilarating FPS experience that will make you fall in love with your own gameplay. It gets a little repetitive, though, and the Japanese localization could be better, but players who enjoy parkour FPS games or bullet-time action should be satisfied.

    What it lacks in narrative, Severed Steel makes up for it in the gameplay department. It’s fast, it’s frenetic, it’s vibrant and by golly, is it fun. There’s no greater pleasure in somersaulting over goons to air out their brain cases in glorious voxel violence. Switch off the lateral thinking and engage those cat-like reflexes.

    An independent first person shooter influenced by F.E.A.R. and Mirror's Edge. Frantic rhythms and bullet times in profusion for a short, intense and demanding experience, but not without some flaws.

    With all its simplicity and a very short-lived campaign, Severed Steel offers a decent shooting practice for an evening or two.

    The acrobatic shoot-fest known as Severed Steel is, without any exaggeration, tons of fun. Sadly, while it could be one of the genre's classics, it is barebones in terms of content. There simply aren't many things to do here, and there's almost no incentive to go back to it. It needs a better campaign, more varied weaponry, enemies, as well as some extra stuff, be it power-ups, or alternative game modes. Or at least a better price-tag…

    Severed Steel was fun to play, but I couldn’t recommend it at its current price in its present state. Greylock Studio needs to throw some intense boss battles in there, a few tough enemies, and, in my opinion, rework the bullet time metre. I really hope the developers don’t move onto their next project straight away, and instead turn this game into a series that will make people look forward to the sequel. If you love these types of games, then there is no doubt in my mind that you will also enjoy Severed Steel.

    Pure gameplay

    Mindblowing gameplay, it reminds me mix of Quake 3 with Super hot. It feels really good, even with lack of story and boss    Pure gameplay

    Mindblowing gameplay, it reminds me mix of Quake 3 with Super hot. It feels really good, even with lack of story and boss fights.

    Visualc (8/10) Graphics a bit simple, but music and atmoshpere are great. Ray tracing is working, but why we need it in universe like Trone wuth pure cubs and platforms. Also you don't have any second to check pure graphics because gameplay is super fast and I think it's even better, so players will not get epileptic shock.

    Gameplay (10/10) It works magnificent. Arenas - check, Cool and working(!!) mix of doom, super hot, quake and other shooters - check, Modifiers and tools for level designing - check. Just play and feel this.

    Story (3/10) Just pictures between levels. But it's indie game and first game from authors. Also campaign is very short. I don't think you need story here because this gam is all about gameplay and community support. They even add anatgonist as a boss, but it was bad.

    All in all, it's very fun game, you just need to try it. (Noone cares about story in arena shooter)    … Full Review »
