  • Summary: From the same core team that conceptualized and created Savage, Savage 2: A Tortured Soul transports PC gamers to the next level in multiplayer gaming. The sequel features enhanced character models, higher quality animations, bump mapping, realistic, reflective water effects, dynamic shadows, point lighting, and an enhanced particle/spell effect system. Gameplay is greatly superior as well due to a vastly improved melee system, an enhanced, officer-based battle grouping system, 20 unit class based system, FPS fast action paced gameplay for certain types of characters, third person RPG slower paced gameplay for others, better items with more RPG elements, and an improved spell casting system. The game also features a comprehensive single-player tutorial/training – something that many Savage fans requested and S2 Games feels is necessary in order to shorten the learning curve of a detailed game such as this.

    Savage 2 combines first/third person multiplayer action and real-time strategy and does it very well. The learning curve is quite steep, because the tutorial and the manual are lacking but that's the only major problem with game. [Mar 2008]

    In combining the team-based action of games like Tribes and Battlefield with an original fantasy setting and a ground-level RTS mechanic, they've come up with something that's unlike anything else on the market right now...except the original Savage, of course.

    If you can get past the steep learning curve, Savage 2 can be a lot of fun, whether you want to hack and slash or work with teammates on coordinating tactics. [May 2008, p.68]

    It's exactly what I was looking as a 64 bit Linux user. The game reminds me of Rune but a lot much better. The developers went far and beyond for the Linux user. I love the game, we just have to continue spreading the news and experience. You've raised the bar. Kudos and thanks a lot!… Expand

    I expected savage2 to be Savage1 sequel without the balance/gameplay flaw and with a better engine. The truth is that Savage2 was basically remade from scratch. S2games tried to re invent the wheel on things that shouldn't had been changed. I think what have made Savage1 so fun is lost in savage2. It's terribly hard to enjoy if you ever played the first of the name because it feels like a downgrade.… Expand

    I can't believe i payed 20 dollars for this on Steam. I want my money back. This game is totally dissapointing. I was expecting something more like World of warcraft. But the online experience is quite frustrating. There's a huge lack of servers and those available are totally laggy. The playability is a complete pain. I don't recommend this.… Expand
