Genre-mixing fight fest feels rough around the edges

Expect 16 unique classes for your foe-bashing pleasure with two factions: Legion of Man and the Beast Horde. There’s a surprising amount of variety here, though nothing we hadn’t seen before. For example, the Beast Horde’s Shaman is the dutiful healing buffer, Savages are the Human version of a battling tank, and the Beast’s Summoner summons beasts just as you’d expect. But despite the lengthy list of class types, an intriguing little tit for tat combat system, and extra graphical shininess, Savage 2 isn’t without its problems.

Unfortunately, Savage 2 feels disappointingly buggy and laggy despite a recent patch. At one point, we cast a resurrection spell on a nearby teammate which locked our character models together like Siamese twins. Though humorous, it’s the sort of joke that gets old way too fast.
