Savage 2: A Tortured Soul

And so, another month waves goodbye, and with it another collection of fond memories are forged within the virtual worlds gamers call home.

S2 Games has released an update for their free-to-play FPS/RTS/Action RPG hybird Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, now available for download.

An update has been released for action RPG Savage 2: A Tortured Soul and is now available through Steam. The large patch brings 3 new maps, a new 'Team Manager' panel along with some additional fixes and improvements.

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, S2 Games' multiplayer battlefield game, is now free (as in beer). Just download the game, create an account, and you're off. Why bother, though? Well, it's a pretty well-received game, especially by users. The main reason, though, is the main gameplay mechanic- one player on each team acts as a general of sorts on the battlefield, and plays the game like an RTS. The other 62 players act as the units, and play the game as an action RPG/ FPS (i.e. they do the fighting). Not bad for a free game, especially as Windows, Mac, and Linux users can all enjoy it.

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, a FPS/RTS hybrid, is now available to play for free. It is the sequel to Savage: Battle For Newerth and Savage 2 is a fun game with impressive graphics and game play mechanics. The skinny on this free Savage 2 is that it's basically Natural Selection but with Humans vs Beastmen. The problem with Savage 2 was that there aren't many players at this point, and well, there wasn't that many to begin with when the game was released a year ago either.

Independent game developer S2 Games continues its commitment to support fans and community with the release of the second, massive free content update for Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. Delivering on the promise to continually update and support Savage 2, this marks the second in a series of free, sizable content updates that other publishers might ordinarily charge for.

Developer S2 Games has released the first of what it says will be many free content updates for its title Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. Savage 2, if you've just returned from the Himalayas, is a PC game that combines multiplayer FPS with melee combat and real-time strategy base building and drops it in a fantasy world. S2 Games' first content update includes full clan support, achievements, new community created maps, an updated melee system,

S2 Games has released a free Linux client for its RTS/FPS/RPG hybrid, as well as a slew of free game updates for non-Linux gamers.

S2 Games are adding over 30 achievements to Savage 2. Each individual achievement has a Silver and Gold level. Obviously the Silver is more obtainable than the Gold. As each achievement is earned the player account receives a free Persistent Item Scratcher. These are unique lottery style tickets that allow you to select 1 of 3 covered squares for each of the 4 attributes (enhancement type/amount, passive regen increase, passive stat increase, consumable increase) of a Persistent Item in Savage 2. If you're lucky, you could scratch a higher end item by selecting the right squares. Achievements are broken into 4 categories. Action and Commander players alike have both Lifetime and Match specific achievements. A Lifetime Achievement is based upon your lifelong persistent account statistics. These goals are much higher numbers (not necessarily more difficult to achieve) than the Match Achievements. A Match Achievement is based upon hitting your goal within a single match.

Next week, the real-time strategy and first-person action hybrid online game, Savage 2, will receive its first free-to-download content update (aptly named Free Content Patch 1). For the straight skinny on what to expect, be sure to check the Savage 2 dev blog on 1UP from March 19 to 21. Developer S2 Games will reveal new details on its plans for clan matching integration, achievement system, and new maps each day. The first post is already up, and it documents the first major addition of the patch: an automated clan system.
