I don’t know about you, but me and my wallet are still recovering from the ridiculous amount of App Store sales that took place on Black Friday. However, debilitating debt and an already immeasurable backlog can’t stop the killer deals for iOS, as Cyber Monday should bring with it even more excuses for developers to cut the price of their games down even further. Today, the stunning slashing RPG Severed ($0.99) has had its price cut to $3.99 – while the game did already go on sale back in October, for four dollars you can acquire a sure-fire candidate for many end of year lists, and a title that received an extremely favourable review from us back at its release in September.

While Severed first released on the PlayStation Vita back in April of this year, its iOS launch felt like the true home for DrinkBox Studio’s flagship title, and is perfectly suited to the touchscreen interface of the iPhone. Through mixing the swipe-based combat of Infinity Blade ($5.99) with Zelda-esque dungeon exploration, your one-armed protagonist is tasked with traversing a hellish underworld full of hideous creatures that must be slain, through a really inventive combat system that allows you to juggle multiple enemies on the go with a wide variety of attacks. Severed manages to merge accessibility with depth and exploration that makes it an absolutely essential adventure game on iPhone, and one that I’d highly recommend picking up while it is on sale. Hack and slash down to our forum thread to join in the discussion, and let us know your thoughts on Severed if you’ve taken advantage of this Cyber Monday promotion.
