Severance: Blade of Darkness is an action-adventure game developed by Rebel Act Studios and published by Codemasters. The game was released in North America and Europe for Microsoft Windows in February 2001, receiving generally favorable reception.
The individual levels of the game bear a resemblance to diverse environments from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America under fictitious names or names with slightly changed spelling.
The Lord created Chaos and divided it into two parts, the Light and the Darkness. He gave to them life and thought, and so were born the Spirit of Light and the Prince of Darkness. But the Prince held the unspoken desire of supplanting his Father. He learned the secret language of Creation and tried to create a new being. But the newborn would not accept the commands of the Prince of Darkness, and growing stronger, took part of his own essence and created terrible monsters and demons. The Lord and the Prince of Light tried to stop it, and they waged a great war. Gradually, the being was weakened and finally defeated, but after this, the Father was exhausted and withdrew into the depths of the Universe.
The younger gods, proud of the victory, completed the creations of their father, giving shape to the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. However, the Prince of Darkness attempted to corrupt the souls of the fledgling race of man, amidst the confusion of a new war incited by dark creatures of his own creation. The Earth was in a moment of extreme danger, so one of the younger daughters, Ianna, cast a powerful spell that expelled the gods from their dwelling place and kept the Earth closed to them. The Spirit of the Light went to the Sun and from there protected the Earth during the day. Ianna went to the Moon, to protect it during the night. Thus began the cycle of Day and Night, and a new age of balance was born over the Earth. But all of the gods' creations remained, leaving mankind to contend alone against the diabolical fiends.
The struggle continued for many years until a young hero emerged to defy the Darkness. He was chosen by Ianna to wield the Sacred Sword and fought the Evil in its own lair. The Darkness was defeated, but the hero was mortally wounded, and his friends buried him with his Sword in the Temple of Ianna. After that, they hid four magical gems, which unlock his tomb, where the sword is kept.
But all that was long ago. Now, something strange is happening. The signals are clear. Foul creatures are awakening from their dormancy and spreading terror and destruction. The Darkness has returned, and the end is near. A new hero is needed, a chosen one who will wield the Sword, and destroy the Enemy forever.
This "evil blade" in the game title is in fact, the "Sword of Light" when it is possessed by the forces of darkness (as shown in the intro video). It is liberated and becomes the Sword of Light when the hero comes and imbues it with the six magical runes.

This is one game that released the wrong year. Played this game with every class type and enjoyed every moment. Each stage had a hidden unique weapons with unique combos and a special ability combo (needs to be executed the right moment or you'll pay with your life). There was traps everywhere, hidden areas, jump scares, mini boss fights, boss fights you name it. Even the AI was crazy and ahead of its time, an enemy will accidently hit their teammate and they would start fighting it out giving you the chance get some free shots in. Best game ever and no other game ever came close.
OK usually when people say a game is a Souls predecessor, it's hyperbole. Kings Field is the real Souls predecessor, technically, but damn does this look exactly like an early Souls game.
As an avid souls fan this is looking really good. The use of spacing between you and the enemies being the primary mechanic. It feels very soulslike even though it predates souls.
I wonder if they took notes, even though kingsfield was around.
visually its much more similar than kings field
@@nolef7nu7 Yeah, that's true!
@@nolef7nu7 ay por favor deja de decir tanta mierda.... kingfiel es una basura comparado con este juego, este juego es pionero. Hay muchos elementos dentro del juego que fueron calcados para las mierdas mediocres de los souls... y no es soulslike es un BLADE-LIKE
I also played this game many times. Loved Ianna Sword. Thinking to play it again... :-)
Have anyone collected Dal Gurak's shield OR Gurak's blade ?
I collected once, will try once more .......
One of the best games ever made! And because of patent trolling, its now abandonware...
I have this game always installed on my PC. And thx to mods it kept me playing. Even if i return just to sweep through the Arena for an hour or so. Its just fun to no end, to hack the enemies into pieces. All thx to the amazing combat system with its abundance of different weapons.
This is a game, where all its flaws, are simply overshadowed by the amazing gameplay, game and level design. Oh, and the amazing soundtrack.
This game runs on Windows 7, 8/8.1 and 10. I played it over the years, on all these systems across different hardware setups! This game just works.
Daktaklakpak hidden gem. a lot of them lurking down somewhere through lack of proper advertising
Hello! Can you advise, how to adjust the game for win 10? It works, but all texts are black(
not anymore dude
OK BOOMER
i dont know this game. what flaws you mean for example? someone recommended it to me because i like really difficult RPGs.
Guys, IS THERE a newer game like this?
And I don't mean Souls games because they are not nearly good enough with their endless-roll -console fighting system!
The first Dark Souls before DS was a thing.
I had the game at release it was great. I'd love a remake of this game, Bluepoint would do a great job.
Agreed
no, king's field by fromsoftware was the first ever souls game released in 1994 so Severance obv took inspiration from them
@@TunaMayoInumakiYou're wrong, blade of darkness is closer to DS than king's field, and king's field took inspiration from TES 1.
Exactly DS are all copies and Severance likes and y'all are trying to gaslight people that fromsoft invented this
They don't make games as good as this anymore. Modern games just don't have the same sense of isolation and adventure but I don't understand why.
Because everyone just copy and paste off each other. No innovation anymore.
One of the best games I played .. I and a friend played it many years ago .. It is very nostalgic to see it again, I would be very happy if they remake that game ..
So glad I have a gamefile of this on my pc, not ever deleting that. This is pretty much a pc gaming relic at this point. This melee combat has so far not been surpassed. Not even by the Souls series.
@Ram Attack Same, currently doing a run with the Amazon (which is very doable since she is kinda broken), allready did barbarian. The shield characters are for me to get into, their attack range bothers me a lot.
Well you can delete the gamefile now. Blade Of Darkness is coming on Steam and GOG next month 🙂
@@arsalansyed123 Really? It's coming back? Noice
@@jw7500 Released today! Just bought it. While I was 15 in 2001, this game slipped under my radar. Happy I found out about it.
@@DustinBarlow8P I am getting that as soon as I'm home and will write a steam review
OMG! Nostalgia factor is like sky high! Thank you for bringing it back in. I got it installed on my VR box win 98SE. I always loved it. This is a masterpiece. Really. Deserve more love. Back then, lighting, combat, environment and sound was and is so immersive! I love bow mechanics, once you'll get int it, you can feel the power of this lethal tool : ) just love the way it works!
Played this 18 or 17 years back...where can I find it?
LOVED this game. Struggle to find a game that engaged me so much today. first (proper) game on my first home built PC - fond memories.
Try the Darksouls series if you haven't already.
@@ws666andy yes... and get to the tomb of giants without ANY light source like i did... grrr
The ultimate hack and slash game of all time 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
can I anyone provide the link to download this game ...
Essa jogo tem um monte de detalhe que jogos de hoje não tem
Que gran juego! ......
i am downloading this right now
Is it free

Hell I was expecting that all real games like this in the past will evolve in better, not disappearing 😢
Brings back so much amazing memories on PC. Epic game it was
still beats every DS games .
Thank God some people still upload this game on the internet.. It makes me sad that it's getting forgotten, but I'll never delete it from now on. I forgot it's name and only remembered it because of reddit. I feel so grateful playing this again.. I used to love it as a kid. And it's still amazing till this day.. And works even on windows 10! I'm speechless.. What a hidden gem.
An updated version was recently released on Steam and GOG with modern resolution support etc.
Great Game! Finished it with all characters several times. One of the best combat games, way before the souls series!
so enjoyed that game played this to death lol, nothing has beat it yet or got near, gets me though as a graphics driver theses days is a bigger file download madness lol
Truly can't wait for the 4k re-release on Steam and GOG this October 7th!
This looks quite good actually, the combat are simple yet effective, and it looks like it is responsive and fast.
I played this at 2001 on PC when i was 14 years old. How can I enjoy Zelda BOTW now, if 20 years ago there were better graphics and fps
The original Souls game.
Best game played..wish they develope Blade of Darkness 2
The besttttt game iplay .....played this game more and more ihope this game update 🙂
It wont because the developers are doing dark souls now :(
Iam really sad ...... This game really beautiful and perfect
I can see you struggling with this game. You should start with the tutorial level.
i I completed this game 7 time its the best gameplay ever
E um jogo de PC não de Nintendo da pra jogar mas e muito confuso 😂
The song in the intro its not from Max Payne 2? Max passion Mona
This was my first proper hack and slash on my very first PC, loved it at the time, but I couldn't get it work again on my old windows xp, so got rid🙁. Would love to get it back again!
you can, its abandorware now, just lok it up and you will find it.
How can I download this game now on my PC ?
Ah the memories, I remember having severe back pain at the time and this game got me through it.
It would be nice a remaster on this.
I tohught this was a 1st person game. Or am I thinking of a different Severance game? UPDATE: apparently you can switch to 1st person at any time. I didnt even know 3rd person existed. Why would you play it like this?
because 1st person suks here
where is the new blade of darkness??
this game had dynamic shadows before Doom 3, just saying.
Yeah shadow, water, sounds, combat in this game still good today
Still got a boxed copy!
This game with its shadows just obliterated my PC back then. LOL
So every character has his own campaign? or do they start from different sections but they all play the same world map?
I played this back then. Yes, that old! ;)
some dumb article says this was the origin of souls series.
That is the Beginning of Souls Games :)
i have an old copy of this game. but i have some visual problems when it runs. the health bar and other stuff does not shows, i mean there is a shadow of the bar but not the colored text and numbers. how can i fix this?
one of the few games that put my £200 geforce ddr to the test
Un excelente juego, con buena gráfica e iluminación para la época.
