Fast, Bullet Time FPS that feels like a Procedural Fear! – Severed Steel –
6Severed Steel is an Indie, fast FPS that feels like a Procedural Fear!
From the fast and visceral movement and gunplay, the fast and aggressive swarms of enemies, and the
Fast and fun Max Pain style bullet time, Severed Steel feels like a faster and more focused take on the FPS legend FEAR; the still excellent first one.
Plus, Severed Steel adds its own twists and additions; there is an awesome Procedural Generation / random lvls mode, and you have a freaking arm cannon!
Voxel Based Destruction!
Terrain destruction is in!
Use your arm cannon to blast literal holes through the lvl, or even directly down, in case you want to fight for a bit from an improvised fox hole.
It’s also a handy way to take out a rooftop sniper, punch out the ground beneath their feet and snipe them through the hole!
There is a campaign mode if you prefer, as well as a Firefight mode with static isolated lvls, which let you select from 5 difficulties, and attempt to complete challenges and to get the best time, but for me, the Rogue Steel Mode is where it is at!
Rogue Steel Mode:
In the Procedural Generation / random lvls mode, you select an ability at the start, and go!
Once generated, the lvl layouts are always the same for the run, so you can restart and retry, and you will; Severed Steel is tough!
If you want to switch the lvl, you can exit to the main menu and generate another map.
Every lvl you clear, you pick another 1 of 3 cards; explosive shields is a fun one. As is the one which turns your cannon into a short ranged hydraulic fist! POW!
Sometimes, the cards you get make the game tougher, like in Still Not Dead.
There are cards that make enemies move faster, bullet time not slowing bullets as much, and other monster buffs; taking these cards seems to grant a score multiplier; making the game tougher for yourself, so you can show off your mad skills!
Severed Steel even comes packed with a lvl editor, along with Steam workshop support, so you can download community created maps, even create some if so inclined; cool.
Severed Steel is also on the consoles, in case that is where your focus is.
Controller support is present, as is good old mouse and keyboard; the best way to play an FPS.
Severed Steel is an Indie, fast FPS that feels like a Procedural Fear + Voxel Destruction of the lvls.
It’s really fast and fun.
