Striking Distance Studios seems ready to lean in on the Dead Space Remake comparisons now with their latest update for The Callisto Protocol.

Striking Distance Studios shared this update on the official The Callisto Protocol Twitter account:

“Introducing the new Dismemberment Mode! Get ready to tear your enemies apart limb by limb and feel the excitement of seeing instant dismemberment as you fight your way through Black Iron Prison.”

This new game mode clearly takes off in a new dismemberment feature in Dead Space Remake, and of course was part of the original Dead Space video games. In the Dead Space games, necromorphs could be killed quicker and more effectively if you cut specific limbs or body parts instead of shooting their head.

As reported by Game Rant, The Callisto Protocol set out to interpret this system differently. The original game already had a dismemberment system for its biophages. But in this case, players had to attack limbs or body parts several times to kill a biophage.

In contrast, the new Dismemberment Mode is an ego driven adrenaline rush. This time, you can cut a leg or arm clean in one clean swipe. Imagine cutting it like a chicken you brought home from the grocery. You may get sloppy the first few times, but you’ll eventually do it like an expert chef.

In Dismemberment Mode, you won’t be able to earn Achievements or Trophies. This fact really highlights how OP this mode is in the game. We don’t know for now if Dismemberment Mode is a completely separate experience with its own
