History: Main / Severance

"Severance: Blade of Darkness" is 3d fighting game from 2001, taking place in a Low Fantasy setting. Armies of orcs and undead are invading the land, and it falls to one hero to recover the Sword of Light and defeat the master of the hordes.

!!!The playable characters are:
* Sargon, a knight. Uses swords and maces.
* Tukaram, a barbarian. Uses two handed swords and axes.
* Zoe, an Amazon. Uses spears.
* Naglfar, a dwarf. Uses axes, hammers and clubs.

!!!This game contains examples of:
* AnnoyingArrows: There is only one type of bow in the game, which deals pittyful damage. Only useful for solving switch puzzles.
* ArmorIsUseless: Armor subtracts from the strength of enemy attacks. But the enemies use the same powerful weapons as the player (including some of the special moves), so even Sargons heavy plate doesn't protect much.
* BarbarianHero: Tukaram.
* {{BFS}}: Tukarams later weapons are huge.
* GiantMook: Minotaurs, Golems.
* HotAmazon: Zoe.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: In the main castle of the BigBad, there is a weapons chamber with 4 extremely powerful weapons (one for each character, of course). These deals normal damage equal to the Sword of Light, and their special attacks are the most powerful in the game, causing more than 10000 damage in one hit. The weapons chamber is easy to miss, though.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Sargon, although he still butchers his way through the orcs like the other characters.
* ObviousBeta: This game had some pretty annoying bugs, especially within it's cutscenes. Like losing control of the character and not getting it back after the cutscene, or the character just walking circles instead of walking towards his goal.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Naglfar.
* SpecialAttack: Every weapon has it's own special move, which deals massive damage. The characters also have some weapon-independent moves. And the magical weapons would be entirely useless if not for their special move, because their base damage is so low.
* SwordBeam: The special move of the Sword of Light.
* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: The Sword of Light, which is probably needed to defeat the BigBad. That's because he teleports away from melee, and the SwordBeam of the Sword of Light is the only good ranged attack.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Yes, you can throw your weapon dozens of meters. No, it isn't effective after the first area. This move becomes semi-useful with the Sword of Light, which teleports back in your hand after the throw.
