Free Video Game: Savage 2 released Free for everybody
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.
To combat the lack of players, S2Games is making Savage 2 free. Hopefully this will really expand their player count. The devs are also actively improving/patching the game. In fact, they recently released an OS X port of the game that plays almost flawlessly. There is also a linux port as well? (64bit supported)
Savage 2 also has some unique features that I wish other games would implement and from their Website:
Persistent Stats & Replay Network
Each player account has statistics that are generated throughout each match they play. At the end of each match those statistics are transmitted to the S2 Statistic Servers and tabulated into that players overall persistent stats.Viewing Past Matches
Each match that is played has an overview showing team-based stats, as well as individual player’s stats for that specific match. From that page you can look gain access to the overall stats of each player connected, download a replay of that match to view in the game client, and post comments and ratings.
Still interested? Get your free copy of Savage 2 at their website. You will have to create an account there while you download. S2 does have an upsell for a prime account for $9.99, and it offers a few perks like unlimted Hellbourne access, a few mor einventory slots, etc. It is a great game even without the prime account and I really enjoyed the free trial they had when it first came out. If you like RTS and FPS games, Savage 2 is pretty cool. Besides, if Savage 2 is free, what do you have to lose?
