Você evolui árvores de habilidade, explora masmorras grandes e complexas utilizando mapa, coleta itens. O mundo é “aberto” (no estilão dungeon crawler, com encruzilhadas de rotas) e há liberdade para avançar ou retroceder ou buscar itens e etc. Pode se preparar para passar HORAS em masmorras de temáticas astecas, enfrentando inimigos típicos e coletando órgãos e vísceras para fazer alquimia indígena e evoluir habilidades. Os combates são extremamente originais (é onde há alguma ação) usando o touch para desferir golpes cortantes e para desmembrar inimigos. O cenário e a atmosfera são muito originais, com inspiração asteca, surrealistas, meio gore, meio tenebrosos. Um dos jogos mais originais que já joguei, e certamente um dos que fazem o melhor uso do touch. Está no meu top 10. ### 5/5 — Sensacional! *2023-11-02* O jogo é um RPG que possui uma jogabilidade divertida estilo slash e parrys, uma história interessante, uma trilha sonora muito boa e uma mecanica de progressão do personagem que utiliza de árvores de habilidades que podem ser upadas por meio de recursos obtidos por drops de inimigos e loots. Sensacional! Recomendo demais! ### 5/5 — Amazing !! *2023-09-24, version 1.0.30* I first downloaded this game in middle school and LOVED the art style and gameplay but wasn’t able to 100% it. revisiting it a few years later, the puzzles and exploration aspects are so much fun. Trying to find all of the secrets on the map is tedious, sure, but it feels super rewarding when you finally get everything. The puzzles are very forgiving if you mess something up and generally easy enough to figure out without a guide. There are a lot of different types of puzzles too, which is nice. I’m seeing a lot of people complaining in the reviews about the combat system in standard mode as well, but as someone who picked it up yesterday for the first time in 3+ years almost none of the battles gave me an issue. They are (at least a little bit) strategy based, but they're all easy enough, even without using the blind or rage attacks. You just gotta get the hang of the timing and pay attention to the attack indicators. The story is pretty good and the visuals are amazing. The art style isn't really one I've seen very often in games and the whole game really feels like a work of art. You can tell how much love went into making this game. All the monster designs are great, the way sasha's appearance changes as you progress is great, the room designs are amazing, i could go on and on about how much i love the art in this game. anyways its a 10/10 game i would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun, beautiful, 4-5 hour game. ### 4/5 — Great game *2023-08-08, version 1.0.30* My only issue is I wish the skill tree was bigger and more effective, there were only a couple unique skills really ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-07-17* Jeu complètement adapté pour mobile. Son ambiance particulière fait son charme. Musique du jeu épique. Mérite plus de visibilité! ### 3/5 — なかなか難しい *2023-04-23* 難易度をイージーに落としても最初の神殿から進めない… ### 5/5 — good *2023-04-19, version 1.0.30* what else can i say i like the game it’s pretty fun and a good time killer with decent gameplay and mechanics ### 5/5 — 모바일 게임의 혁신 *2023-04-01* 사실 늦게 플레이한 감이 없진 않은데 새로운 플레이 방식이었으며 호러스러우며 기괴한 그래픽이 이 게임의 독특한 특징이 아닌가 싶다. 가격도 1500이면 매우 착하다고 생각하고 스토리도 나쁘지 않고 bgm은 말할 것 도 없다. 가격 좋고 재밌는 모바일 게임을 찾는다면 이 게임을 소장하는 것을 적극 권장한다 ### 5/5 — Drinkbox, I love you! *2023-03-04, version 1.0.30* This is not my first time to finish severed. I bought it at launch on ps vita and I freaking loved it! Now, almost 7 years later I bought it and finished it on my iPhone. Everything was as I remember - addicting gameplay, macabre story, recognizable drinkbox visuals and pleasant sounds, domain theme loops. If anyone needs great fix of old school dungeon crawlers with great addicting swipe combat mechanic, this is the go to game. I wished the game was longer. That was my only critique them and it is now. Nevertheless, this is my favorite game alongside Guacamelee and Nobody saves the world. Looking forward to playing your next game guys!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-02-24, version 1.0.30* Simple and engaging ### 5/5 — So Good *2023-01-12, version 1.0.30* I bought it again ### 5/5 — Must play game!! *2022-12-25, version 1.0.30* I’ve been playing this game on and off since 2016. I now own it on my switch and I’ve been playing on there more then my phone since the screen is bigger. But if your looking for a game to play with no internet, don’t mind exploring areas to fight monsters, upgrade yourself/weapon, and moving along with a nice storyline that makes you want more from this game. Then definitely download it!! It’s worth the money! I love this game because I get so much easily immersed even if I haven’t played it in a while. Gameplay is very easy to play and remember. Love the graphics of the game, definitely makes you feel like you’re in another world with the different colors they’ve chosen for each section. Love this game and storyline. I wish they would make a second game with a different character or maybe with the main one trying to find their way back home to their original planet. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-11-13, version 1.0.30* Took a bit of time to get into but once I did it was one of the best iOS games I’ve played. Definitely recommend. Beautiful art. Great combat. Just right amount of challenging ### 5/5 — 完成度の高いRPG *2022-09-16* 見た目、アートっぽいグラフィックが売りのゲームかと思ったけど思いのほかきっちり作ってあるアクションRPG。グラフィックはグロもあるけどむしろ奇抜さをより重視してる感じ。移動は一人称視点で前後左右に1マスずつ動くレトロなアドベンチャースタイル。ダンジョンには難しすぎない程度の謎解きがある。 戦闘と育成に特徴がある。一定の間隔で攻撃してくる敵に対してタイミングを合わせ、適切な軌道でスワイプして防御。失敗するとどんどん体力が減るので防御は重要。進めていくと四方を囲まれてそれぞれの敵の攻撃ゲージが貯まるのを確認しながら忙しく方向転換してさばいていくことになる。攻撃もスワイプ。この際、長いストロークの攻撃を心がけないと成長素材を手に入れられなくなる。敵を倒す時に体の一部を切断する手順があり、この切断した腕とかアゴとかいろんな部位があるんだけど部位に応じてパワーアップできる要素が変わる。しかも敵は限られた数しか出ないのでこの切断はかなり重要(終盤に無限に敵が湧くスポットあり)。 あまり長いゲームではないけど、その中で少しずつ新しい要素が追加されていくのでダレにくい。 ストーリーは暗い。あまり多くは語られないけど、グラフィックの強烈さで心に物語が焼き付けられる。ボリュームの割に定価がやや高い気はするけど、全体としてはしっかりまとまったRPGなので、もっとたくさんの人にやってほしいと思う。BGMが良くないというレビューがあったけど、個人的にはそれぞれの場面に合った音楽だと思う。 ### 4/5 — A flawed gem *2022-09-08, version 1.0.30* Story was executed really well even though there hardly any story at all. Downside is that it’s very short ,clunky and repetitive combat, though it’s premise is creative and unique compare to the market out there. If the devs can improve or better yet create something on a larger scale with larger budgets. I’m gladly to pay the big bucks. ### 5/5 — Взрыв мозга *2022-05-28* Игра просто СУПЕЕЕЕЕР!! Я прохожу уже 3ий раз!! Идеально подобран стиль мрака и монстры что-то с чём-то!! Последний босс сделан восхитительно!!! Спасибо за такую хорошую игру!! ### 5/5 — great mobile action game *2022-05-16, version 1.0.30* The controls are perfect for mobile, the art is beautiful, it’s also a much darker story than I realized (maybe the title should have given that away). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 🤮 *2025-02-27, version 1.0.30* A game that wastes time and is really hard on your arms and wrists. ### 1/5 — so boring，waste my money,I want my money back *2023-06-11, version 1.0.30* so boring，waste my money,I want my money back ### 1/5 — Not supported on iPhone 12 *2021-06-14, version 1.0.30* Bought this game due to the unique art style and gameplay, however, it has many issues such as not spanning the full screen, strange flickering towards the bottom of the screen and additionally the game does not output any audio! I can get past the game not utilising the full screen, but no sound and the strange flickering? Please fix at least these issues and I will update my review, otherwise if you own an iPhone 12 I recommend avoiding until they update it. ### 1/5 — Where is the screen resolution fix for iPhone 11 Pro Max??? *2021-03-15, version 1.0.30* Mama ### 1/5 — Não está em tela cheia! *2020-12-22* O jogo não está em tela cheia em telas maiores (IPhone XS Max), infelizmente terei que pedir o estorno. ### 1/5 — please upgrade for ipad pro3rd（11-inch fullscreen *2020-08-05, version 1.0.30* please upgrade for ipad pro3rd（11-inch fullscreen，not only start but all gaming ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 11 *2020-01-20, version 1.0.20* Not optimised for iPhone 11, can’t even play because the in game buttons don’t work ### 1/5 — Severed *2020-01-18, version 1.0.20* I will keep it’s Simple. Not impressed. ### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPhone X *2019-07-30, version 1.0.20* Really needs an update! ### 1/5 — Appel und seine Spiele *2019-05-30* Erst final fantasy 7 ohne Support für das iPhone X jetzt das hier... also was momentan so hier abgeht was die Spiele betrifft ist erschreckend nimmt langsam Google Play Stimmung hier an.. spiele bekommen immer weniger Support von den „großen“ Herstellern was mal im Apple Store nie so war. Severed ist ein tolles Spiel nur bitte Last das Spiel nicht hier vergammeln wie das so manch andere Hersteller so tun auf dieser Plattform... Sonst verschwinden die Spiele auch noch ala Infinity Blade👎🏼 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of a kind game! Great artistic style, story of loss & redemption, atmospheric music & gameplay *2026-02-18, version 1.0.30* I started playing Severed many years ago, way back in 2017. I was traveling a lot for work then and it was one of my go to games. I breezed through most of the game but got stuck near the end. Now in 2026 for some reason I saw it pop up when I got a new iPad. I decided to revisit it and while it took a few tries to get back into it, I am very glad I did. I completed the game, which ended up being a long time coming! I am very pleased with the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a great, memorable gaming experience. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-18, version 1.0.30* very good 5 hours of gameplay ### 5/5 — Шедевр из бэклога *2026-01-15* Когда-то на распродаже января 2019-го купил много игр. И эта игра мне показалась красочной, купил, но хотелось играть во что-то другое. И…выделил на Severed пару дней спустя 7 лет. И эта игра для меня теперь одна из самых крутых мобилок из всех что я играл. Спасибо! ### 5/5 — Just so very good *2025-10-08, version 1.0.30* This is genuinely one of my FAVOURITE mobile games along with sword and sworcery. The art, the story, the puzzles… this game is seriously a masterpiece! Waiting and begging for a PC port so I can play this on steam, get all the achievements, and convince all my friends to play. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a game to play on the go which is just truly such a fantastic experience. ❤️ ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2025-08-06, version 1.0.30* A masterpiece of a game, easily one of the best video games you could play on your mobile device ### 5/5 — Incredible. *2025-02-25, version 1.0.30* This (in my opinion), is the genuine best mobile game of all time.
