Comme prévu, S2 Games vient de rendre disponible au téléchargement Savage 2 : A Tortured Soul. Le téléchargement du jeu est gratuit, moyennant tout de même une inscription sur le site officiel, ce qui vous donne accès au tutoriel offline, au jeu complet en LAN et une période d'essai du jeu de cinq heures. Si vous souhaitez jouer plus longtemps, il faudra passer à la caisse et débourser 29.99$. Savage 2 est un jeu avec un mélange de FPS, de RTS et de RPG qui peut dérouter nombre de joueurs, d'où l'utilité de cette période d'essai gratuite.

(Rohnert Park, CA) – January 16, 2008 – Independent game developer S2 Games announced today that the highly anticipated PC title Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now available. Refining and building upon the game design that made the critically acclaimed first title a huge success, Savage 2 incorporates elements of first-person shooter, real-time strategy, and role-playing game. Savage 2 is available exclusively online via download and carries a one-time price of $29.99.

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a fast paced multiplayer action title that takes team based game play to another level. Each match is a war for dominance where two teams of 5 to 17 players from two factions, beast or humans, attempt to destroy each other. It will take more than guns to finish the job. Players can choose from an array of units each with ranged, melee, and special abilities. To close the deal and seal the enemy’s fate, players can take control of the ultimate siege units like the Behemoth or the Battering Ram used to destroy enemy buildings or even resurrect a burning demonic Hellbourne. For the more strategic player, each team has one commander who overlooks the battlefield and manages construction, research, and issues commands for strategic assaults.

Savage 2 is free to download and new players can sign up for a demo account with 5 hours of online play. With the free client, gamers have access to several features including playing the offline single player tutorial, unlimited LAN play, and access to the comprehensive replay database that catalogues each and every game. Players who enjoy the game can simply upgrade through the game client or from the official website and will gain access to unlimited online play, full clan support through the Savage Clan League, ability to use persistent items and more.

“The development of Savage 2 has been a labor of love,” said Marc DeForest, co-founder and lead designer of S2 Games. “The fans have been anxiously waiting and their support has kept us working tirelessly to make sure the game lives up to their and our expectations. We can’t wait for gamers to enter the battlefield and test their skills in this truly unique game.”
