About this game
Severed Light is a dark action RPG and a love letter to the old-school ARPGs we grew up with.
Set in the fractured world of Valdris, you play a nameless hero trying to rebuild a kingdom of men, mer, and beasts — while something ancient and hungry works within to stop you.
Two Continents to Explore
The vibrant lands of Valdris and the frigid wastes of the Kythra Frostlands. Both maps have hand-crafted towns, biomes, dungeons, rivers, quests, and points of interest. Procedural dungeons and random events mean every playthrough feels familiar but never the same.
Theory Crafting at Lv.1
5 classes, each with 5 skills right out of the gate. No waiting around to feel powerful. Pick what you like, invest, evolve.
Light or Darkness
Defeat the many world bosses and collect their Mantles of Darkness. Equip them and let the power consume you like it did your enemies — or destroy them and rid the world of evil forever. The main quest takes you to the gates of Tarantus to face the dark lord who destroyed everything.
Loot for Days
D2-style tiered drops with randomized prefixes and suffixes. Magic, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Uniques. All hand-crafted with lore attached and new stuff to see as you level up. 30+ helmets, pauldrons, gloves, boots, pants, armor, shields, rings, swords, bows and more.
Build a base... or a Kingdom
Harvest building materials out in the world or buy them in town. Build wherever you want — a small hunting cabin in the frostlands, a fortress by the sea, whatever. It's your world.
Severed Light is in Early Access. The core world is fully playable — the rest is being built in the open.

The September Update is here!!
As always, I want to thank everyone for supporting and continuing to play Severed Light. It's a solo developed, open-world RPG and a labor of love. And this update brings a lot of great hand made detail to the world that really makes it feel alive. This is largely in part to a new tool I created that allows me to literally play the game, STOP and hand paint details into the world. The result is what you can play today. Here's a short list (I need to start keeping tabs) on the features you can look forward to in this build of the game available TODAY! A brand new guild "The Crown's Hand" -- start the quest outside town at night, climb the ranks of these secret assassins and get rid of some of Valdris' most sinister inhabitants. A smoother character creation screen New opening main quests that ease you in to the gameCrown City and Thorsten Village have received MASSIVE facelifts. Lots of lore and personality now.Many new hand crafted points of interest including Radiasta Puzzles.Continued Performance ImprovementsNew enemies for Tarantus – Demon ranks have been deployed to the game! Bugs and gameplay tweaks to things like cooking, questing, dialogueAdded a point and click mode (beta) for those that want a more classic movement configurationAs I continue to update the game, you should see and feel the world come to life more with a lot more hand crafted details. My next focus will definitely be on adding a lot more dungeons to the game, each one with their own little back story Thank you again for your support. Please connect with me on reddit or Instagram or shoot me an email if you encounter any bugs or have feature requests. Your Steam Reviews would mean a lot to me as well!

[NOW LIVE] SUMMER UPDATE!
I want to start off as always by thanking everyone who has purchased an early copy of SEVERED LIGHT. This game has been a huge labor of love for me and hopefully a small light to gamers as its sometimes challenging to get your money's worth out of a game. Speaking of which — if you've stumbled here and you haven't tried the game yet but are on the fence, give the demo a try which also includes some of the core updates below! With that, here's whats live TODAY: CLASSES: Each of the 5 classes have been totally redesigned. Overall, I wanted to create a variety of different play styles for a single character similar to the builds we loved to make in classic ARPGs. I'm really excited for you all to try it. MORPHS: Morphing skills make your standard 5 skills feel like 15. As you might know, after you invest 3 skill points into your base skill you have an option to MORPH it. Morphing skills is where things really get fun and crazy. Sometimes a morph adds a unique secondary property to your skill — sometimes it changes it completely. Morphs are meant to compliment other morphs, so if you change what was once a crowd control skill into say... a summoning skill by morphing it — theres a good chance theres another crowd control morph hiding among your other skills! Sounds crazy...? It is! Give it a try, RESPEC: And of course — you're going to want to respec and try out a bunch of different morphs and play styles. You'll get a few respec charms as part of the main quest quite early, but more can be purchased in the crown city cathedral if you really want to get crazy. One charm for skills, one for attributes — 1000 gold each. ENJOY! CHARACTER SPECIFIC LOOT:Rangers can no longer carry shields, but hold a bomb pouch. This acts as an additional ring socket but also enables their bomb skill. Go make a mess!Mages can now use a variety of new wands, sceptres and staves, all hand made to drop up to level 30.All weapons now give random chances to have +1-3 to class specific skills, so ...Read full article on Community Announcements (Mikedzines)Patch NotesOfficial
