The Severed Gods

The Severed Gods is a turn-based tactical game with roguelite progression and height-based combat. In a dark fantasy world overrun by colossal Titans, a band of fate-marked heroes follows an endless cycle of death and rebirth in a quest to slay the gods. Each defeat begins a new journey, while relics, skills, companions and choices provide lasting strength toward breaking the gods’ hold over the world.

The world and its choices

You travel through places shaped by forgotten history, including ruined villages, towering strongholds, barren deserts and cursed lands. By speaking with NPCs and finding scattered story fragments, you uncover the truth about the Titans, the Umbra and the mysterious mark you bear.

Along the way, you face choices with consequences and rewards. You might take supplies from a dying soldier or escort them to safety, and choose whether to accept the gifts of darkness or resist its temptation. These decisions shape your Karma: the path of Virtue earns allies’ respect, while Sin unlocks forbidden powers.

Height-based combat

Battles take place across three heights: Low, Mid and High. Each enemy has body parts at these levels, each with its own shield and weakness. Breaking an enemy’s defenses knocks it down and opens it to a follow-up attack; severing limbs permanently disables abilities and limits attacks. You can dismantle towering Titans from legs to torso to head.

Heroes and reincarnation

Each hero has a distinct Hero Mark that affects how they fight and explore. Swordsmen, scholars, thieves and merchants offer different abilities: thieves can steal valuable items from NPCs, scholars can uncover enemy weaknesses, and merchants can recruit followers to help on the journey. You build a team by combining their abilities to survive longer and travel farther with each reincarnation.

Death starts another cycle. With each reincarnation, you can permanently unlock heroes, upgrade skills and carry powerful relics into the next journey. You can also experiment with hundreds of skills and relics, have heroes inherit abilities from NPCs, or use relics to transform how their skills work. Each new life offers another chance to create different combinations, with no fixed strategy.
