Something like Severance: Blade of Darkness?

Really enjoyed Severance: Blade of Darkness, and to a lesser extent Die by the Sword, as I always ran around with my arm distorted and in the air.

Gamespot recommendations for similar games seems randomly selected and limited to the same time period.

Only game I can think of is Dark Messiah. So is there anything else out that's just hack & slash arcade? Preferably using key combinations to pull off moves like Severance.
 
Good God Severance BOD was an amazing game... completely overlooked by the majority and one of the finest fighting systems i've ever seen. They NEED to make a sequel... :(

Hmm similar games though? Dark Messiah is all I can think of...

Rune maybe?
 
Dark Messiah is the only game recently that made me think back to Severence. If you have not played it it is worth a go.
 
I've been on a similar quest since...well, BOD...there isn't anything around that directly compares that I've found.
 
Can remember BOD well, want to play it now, but it just isn't stable in xp i find :(

Rune was the game that sprung to mind, but its a bit naff i'm afraid :(
 
At one point they were talkin about severance 2, but this was ages ago so presumably it got canned, unfortunately theres nothing afaik thats comparable... at least we can look forward to another uninspired, unoriginal fps =/
 
Played Severance recently based on another thread, but it felt a bit clunky and unresponsive. Really showing its age.

I need a good arcade hack/slash button-masher though - all seems to be RTS and MMORPG's these days :(

Never really gave gave it go other than 10 minutes, but Enclave by Starbreeze is similar to Rune.
