Overview
Description

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.

The lands of Eldar are once again overrun by monsters and demons, threatening to plunge civilization into ruin. As the forgotten hero, you must rally the four ancient races, reclaim the Spirit King’s legacy, and seal the ancient evil once more. Featuring real‑time combat, deep character customization, and cooperative multiplayer, the game blends RPG storytelling with strategic party management. Explore a dark fantasy world, forge alliances, and confront relentless hordes in a quest to save Eldar.
