Savage 2 released online News

PC News by Robert Purchese

17 January, 2008

Online multiplayer game Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is available to download now from the official website.

You can grab the client for free and play LAN matches indefinitely, or try online battles for five hours before being asked to fork out USD 29.99 for the full package.

For those unfamiliar with it, and you probably are, Savage pits two teams of five-to-17 of you against each other in a genre-bending battle. FPS fans will like the Battlefield-like action; RTS fans will like the base-building and idea of one person overseeing everything as a general; and RPG fans will like levelling up (each game from 1-10) and getting persistent items to carry across battles.

The original Savage from 2004 earned itself 8/10 on Eurogamer. "Given the right people and the right attitude, this is one of the finest multiplayer games of the year," concluded Tom.

Creator S2 Games is calling the sequel a labour of love, and we can't really see a reason not to give a shot. Apart from that it has savage torture in the title. Which I hate, by the way.

The first one was alright, but it was no Natural Selection. Will probably give this a whirl though

The gameplay vid looks ace, and I really liked the first one - played that a lot back in the day - so this is getting DL'ed tonight.

The dollar being what it is, it's pretty damn cheap anyway, will probably spring for the full version.

I dunno. He's been a tad unreliable of late.

This is a great game, well worth the $30, which means pretty cheap here in the UK. It really is a quality fps with strong rpg elements, and with good commanders in place it turns it from a chaotic free for all into two coordinated teams that can strategise a la an RTS. (64 player btw) You can get some epic battles out of it you cannot find elsewhere.

its mentioned that you can play on LAN for free... i'm always on the lookout for good games 3 or 4 people can play in a nice smoking LAN session... co-op games are always good...

i couldn't see any info on their site if this is actually how it can be played.... can you have 3/4 people on one side vs the computer, or can you p[lay it 2vs2, or does it need to be larger numbers of players?

anyone know?
