About the Game

Severed Light is a dark action RPG and a love letter to the old-school ARPGs we grew up with.
Set in the fractured world of Valdris, you play a nameless hero trying to rebuild a kingdom of men, mer, and beasts — while something ancient and hungry works within to stop you.

Two Continents to Explore

The vibrant lands of Valdris and the frigid wastes of the Kythra Frostlands. Both maps have hand-crafted towns, biomes, dungeons, rivers, quests, and points of interest. Procedural dungeons and random events mean every playthrough feels familiar but never the same.

Theory Crafting at Lv.1

5 classes, each with 5 skills right out of the gate. No waiting around to feel powerful. Pick what you like, invest, evolve.

Light or Darkness 

Defeat the many world bosses and collect their Mantles of Darkness. Equip them and let the power consume you like it did your enemies — or destroy them and rid the world of evil forever. The main quest takes you to the gates of Tarantus to face the dark lord who destroyed everything.


Loot for Days

D2-style tiered drops with randomized prefixes and suffixes. Magic, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Uniques. All hand-crafted with lore attached and new stuff to see as you level up. 30+ helmets, pauldrons, gloves, boots, pants, armor, shields, rings, swords, bows and more.

Build a base... or a Kingdom

Harvest building materials out in the world or buy them in town. Build wherever you want — a small hunting cabin in the frostlands, a fortress by the sea, whatever. It's your world.


Severed Light is in Early Access. The core world is fully playable — the rest is being built in the open.
