Blade of Darkness, or Severance as I used to know it, is a very memorable action game from over 20 years ago. Taking place in a dark fantasy world that's heavily influenced by various real world myths, Blade of Darkness invites you to select one of the 4 available protagonists and explore its beautifully crafted levels. Naturally, those levels, however pleasing to the eye, are littered with nasties that have to be overcome. Mainly in melee combat. Did I mention the game is unapologetically difficult? Yes, that invitation the game extends isn't to a tea party. This game has been compared to the later Soulsborne series. It's not an unwarranted comparison.
PS: This was my request. This is the GOG HD remastered version.
