After releasing on multiple Nintendo platforms including the Nintendo Switch, Severed is finally getting a physical release.
Limited Run Games has announced the Drinkbox Studios title will be getting a hard copy version - with pre-orders scheduled to go live this Friday on 12th May for $34.99 USD (or your regional equivalent). Items are expected to ship 4-6 months after the pre-order window closes.
When this game arrived on the Switch eShop in 2017, we called it a joy from start to finish - awarding it nine out of ten stars. Here's what we had to say:
"Severed is an almost perfectly executed action-adventure title. With very successfully designed dungeons full of rewarding puzzles and a combat system that is pleasing to carry out, you’ll likely find yourself wishing you could play more of the game when it is over. That’s the only real downside – you’ll be finished with the main story after six hours and be left wanting more – although wishing you could play more isn’t exactly a complaint. If you have the means to do so, we heartily recommend giving this one a go."

Nope. Go through Super Rare, Fangamer, or literally any other publisher. I refuse to give money to LRG.
I played this game a couple times through on the 3DS version and loved it. I'm open to double dipping, but Im not the type to go out of my way for a physical copy.
I love this game. I played it when it was a Vita exclusive, and it felt so perfect on that screen.
Senren * Banka is now taking pre-orders at LRG. Please report on that as well. Gotta get the word out or all the fans won't know!
Too bad it can’t also score a new update with a new controller option and give it a new menu icon as well. Bought it but learned of the limited playability and deleted it shortly after.
Good on Wii U, bad on Switch. Sad.
I bought this for a few bucks right before the 3DS shop closed.
I think I got this for free on the Vita. Pretty neat game.
Another victim of LRG. Ugh...
@EVIL-C I don't understand this sentiment. I mean that just as I said it. What is the issue? From here it looks like LRG is just releasing a thing that otherwise would not get a physical release, for a decent price.
Releasing a physical version of a game that’s about 6 years old...Ok?
Great game. But I feel this belongs on the 3DS and Wii U with it being driven solely on touch controls.
I don't care about physical releases, but I loved this game. I hope lots of people buy it.
Weird. A physical edition of a game that has been around for such a long time usually is an edition available in normal stores, and LRG and the likes specialize in releasing physical games relatively shortly after the digital release (and sometimes after a few years it does also appear an edition for anyone to grab at normal stores). This combination here is new to me.
Sold.
This is a really well designed game, one that definitely surprised me, and a game very worthy of a physical release.
LRG have definitely dug out a profitable niche in the market charging nearly 200% more for a product that is already readily available digitally.
From what I've seen on Facebook most of these "collector's" don't even open the box anyway so I fail to see the point in buying a "game" if they don't intend to play it.
@KayFiOS Same. I might consider using them again when I’m confident that they’ve grown a backbone but I don’t think that’s gonna happen anytime soon
Not interested. I bought the Play Asia limited edition for my Vita years ago. Besides, even if you put aside the fact that Limited Run sack employees for following the "wrong" Twitter accounts, their service is awful. The time they take to despatch items is woeful. I've had a game on my Limited Run account with the status of "Ready" for weeks, and yet Limited Run have not despatched it. I've no idea when I'll receive my game. I'm sure they were never this bad a couple of years ago.
This game plays 100x better on the android emulator than on the bulky Switch.
@KayFiOS Ok? Pretty sure the article wasn't asking if you supported LRG or not. I for one will be buying this, but only because I'm interested in the game and not concerned about the physical publisher.
@Thief Good for you, didn't ask.
@KayFiOS You decided everybody needed to know that you weren't buying it. What, do you make a post in every release article to announce whether or not you are buying it? 🤣
@Thief Um, and you didn't?

"I for one will be buying this"
You're announcing that you will be buying this game, assuming anyone around here gives a solid damn. But, your hypocrisy aside, I hope you enjoy being overcharged and then waiting upwards of 6 months for a game that's been available for 7 years at less than half the price. Side note, here's a pfp I picked out for you.
