The storyline sees the beast horde doing battle with the legion of man once more two teams following the will of their dueling gods, Jeraziah and Ophelia. Savage 2 handles a lot of things differently than its predecessor for both the commander and soldier roles.
The gameplay of Savage 2 stays relatively true to the original - the RTS/FPS/RPG hybrid element still being the focus but it's far from just a graphical upgrade. Still published independently but this time around, the official website is the only place you'll find the game for sale.

While plenty of Aussies played the demo, filling local servers nightly, that player base never really transitioned to the full game and it wasn't until a few years later when S2 Games released Savage for free and community modders had tweaked the game up that an Australian community really blossomed.įortunately for us, Savage must have made S2 enough coal to keep the fires burning, because they're back again with Savage 2: A Tortured Soul.
The unique mix of a first-person shooter with one player assuming a real-time-strategy style commander mode and some RPG elements thrown in for good measure was a breath of fresh air. The game was critically acclaimed and the playable demo was quite the hit when it landed. This was during a time when Steam was still cutting its teeth, and MMOs were still sold primarily as a physical box. Savage: The Battle for Newerth was released back in 2003 via online digital distribution, with only a limited North American store shelf retail.
