Severed for Nintendo 3DS

About Severed for Nintendo 3DS

Severed tells the story of Sasha, a young warrior who wakes in a strange and ruined world after her family vanishes. Armed with a living sword given by a mysterious figure, she sets out to find her loved ones and learn what happened to her home. The world she crosses is beautiful and sad at the same time, full of ruins, strange creatures and quiet hints about the past. It is a personal story told with very few words and a lot of mood.

Fights are handled with the touch screen, where you slash in different directions to cut through enemy guard and build focus. Wounded enemies can be severed, and the parts you take become upgrades that make Sasha stronger, from sharper attacks to new abilities like a charge slash. Exploration links everything together, with hidden paths, light puzzles and doors that open once you gain the right power. The hand drawn art and haunting music give every area a strong identity.

Shopping for this one takes a little care, because the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023 and new digital purchases ended there. Your best option today is a physical cartridge, sold by game shops and second hand sellers. People who bought the digital release before the shop closed can still access their purchased games on their Nintendo 3DS. Since boxed copies were limited, checking a few sellers before buying is a smart move.

Severed is a short journey that stays in the mind for a long time.
