Guacamelee Dev's Severed Cuts Vita to the Quick This Month

Surprise! Severed, one of our most anticipated PlayStation Vita exclusives, will launch on 26th April, with a 10 per cent discount for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Talented dev Drinkbox Studios is yet to set a final price, but it expects it to be in the region of $14.99/£11.99, so it won't be breaking the bank. In other words: if you want more original experiences on Sony's handheld, then support this.

Here's the blurb, via the PlayStation Blog: "Severed is a first-person dungeon crawling adventure where you equip the carcasses of your enemies to gain their powers. You play as Sasha, a warrior who wakes up in a surreal fantasy world and sets off on a mission to find the missing members of her family." Bad ass, no?

The twist is that the game takes advantage of the touch screen, but not in a rubbish smartphone way: you'll use your finger in order to intricately slice and dice enemies, with each requiring a different tactic. Fun, huh? Well, it also looks and sounds the part, and there's more good news there: you can stream or download the title's soundtrack starting today through here. Set your hype thrusters to accelerate.
