Greylock Studio’s hyperkinetic shooter arrives on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and other PC storefronts
Severed Steel, the fast-paced, wall-running, sliding and diving single-player first-person shooter from developer Greylock Studios and publisher Digerati, launches today on Steam (10am PT/7pm CEST), Epic Games Store, GOG, and other PC storefronts with a 10% discount for a limited time.
A Deluxe Digital Edition that includes the full game and official soundtrack, featuring over three hours of electronic music recorded and composed by Floating Door, will also be available for purchase. In addition, anyone who owns the game on Steam will be able to download a Severed Steel Digital Artbook for free.
Inspired by games such as Black, Mirror’s Edge, F.E.A.R., and Half-Life mod ‘The Specialists’, Severed Steel is a heart-pounding rush of acrobatic stunts, bullet-time, no weapon reloading, destructible environments, and intense gunplay. The breakneck shooter has already proven popular with players – the participating demo in this summer’s Steam Next Fest quickly became one of the event’s most downloaded.
Severed Steel is the debut game from Greylock Studio, aka Matt Larrabee. A seasoned hobbyist programmer and modder, and former middle-school computer science teacher, Larrabee taught himself C++. After gaining invaluable experience with the open Morrowind Engine, he moved onto Unreal Engine 4 and began work on Severed Steel in 2019.
| Severed Steel consists of two main modes: ‘Campaign’ and ‘Firefight’. Campaign features six compact story chapters to blast through in the role of one-armed protagonist Steel as she battles against the forces of nefarious mega-corporation, EdenSys. Firefight is an arcade-styled mode and gives players 30 levels to complete and unlock with the highest score and fastest time possible for leaderboard acclaim. It includes over 20 unlockable gameplay modifying ‘Mutators’, such as Big Heads, Paintball, Low Gravity, and Floor Is Lava. In addition, an editor tool allows users to create and share new levels, a selection of which will be available to download from Steam Workshop today. Five difficulty modes and a range of accessibility options ensures Severed Steel can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. |
