Drinkbox Studios has released a new trailer for Vita exclusive Severed, which shows the gameplay elements. Severed is all in first person and will utilise the touchscreen for all the combat situations that protagonist Sasha faces. Each enemy has a different fighting style and players will have to adapt their sword play to be successful. In each fight players will build up the sever mode meter, and once that is full Sasha will be able to cut off the limbs of enemies and use them to upgrade her abilities.
There will also be some puzzle elements with Severed as you traverse each dungeon, but there will be no platforming. You will go back to areas to access new paths which open once Sasha gains the relevant powers. Drinkbox is currently playtesting the game and expects to release Severed in early 2016.

Still not convinced this is my type of game, but given I’ve loved Drinkbox’s other games, I’m willing to take a gamble on it!
