What is Severed Steel?

In this single-player first-person shooter, you play as Steel, a one-armed fighter battling the forces of EdenSys inside a superstructure. Across compact campaign chapters, you wall-run, slide, slow time, take enemies' guns instead of reloading, and shoot through destructible levels. Other modes focus on timed challenges and short, randomly generated runs.

For you if...

+you like fast shooters built around constant movement
+you enjoy replaying short levels for better times

Not for you if...

−you want a long campaign centered on storytelling
−you prefer deliberate gunfights without constant jumping and sliding
