Severance: Blade of Darkness has one of the most rewarding battle system ever designed for a game. As hard as it is to get the hang of it, the better you will feel when you finally managed to get passed all the pesky Orcs to the levels boss monster. The fact that every encounter is a challenge really adds to feeling of a dangerous enviroment, different from what you see in any hack'n'slay title. You don't rush your way the end of a level, but instead carefully creep around the next corner to look for a trap - just as it should be when you explore an seemingly abbandoned castle.
Now this is a great game and everything is said in the exisiting reviews. I just want to add: Do not play this game in the french or german version! You can't finish it. Due to the WW2 theme Nimdok has been completly removed from the game, thus making it impossible to finish the game. There is no hint telling you that whatsoever. Now, that i'm done with all the other scenarios, i'm stuck. There really should be a note in the games feature list on GOG.
