Overview
Description

Embark on a blood‑soaked quest across five vast regions of Hyboria, from icy Cimmerial to steaming Dafar jungles, battling monsters and uncovering secret temples. Forge the ultimate Atalantean Sword by collecting its scattered fragments while confronting the wizard Graven’s curse. Team up with the fierce queen A'kanna and face ten fearsome bosses in a story that captures the spirit of Robert E. Howard’s legends, all presented in a gritty, action‑packed hack‑and‑slash experience.

Severance: Blade of Darkness puts you in the boots of a Knight, Barbarian, Dwarf or Amazon‑type Ranger as they hunt a necromancer and a legendary sword. Each hero starts in a unique area, but the world map lets you choose the order of levels, from dwarven mines to orc strongholds.
