  • Summary: Choose to be a commander and you will play an in-depth RTS managing the stronghold, or choose to be a warrior and you will play an intense game of first person combat. With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle. Set in a unique fantasy world eons from now where Humans and Beasts battle violently for their very existence. Savage transports PC gamers to the next level in multi-player gaming. Choose to fight on the side of HUMANITY, armed with science and technology, or take the side of the BEAST HORDE, masters of nature and magic. Each race has its own style of battle, its own leader, and its own way to victory. Which side are you on? [S2 Games]… Expand

    Whether you're an action or strategy enthusiast, there's something for you in Savage. And really, with a few tweaks here and there, Savage could easily become the next big thing in online gaming.

    This game is simply too polished, unique and good to fit the industry mold of a typical 'first time outing'.

    If you're undaunted by the game's singular insistence on coordinated teamwork, and intrigued by its combination of shooter and real-time strategy elements, then Savage is worth checking out.

    A great game. Difficult as a newb, but once you know how to spar, you will truly become addicted to this wonderful independent game.

    I played this game in beta and I was very disapointed. If you're looking for an online FPS, stay clear away from this one. The graphics are ok, kinda lacking for their time. Sound is average. There isnt much of a story. It kinda feels like a FPS comand and conquer game gone prehistoric times.… Expand
