Great game. It's a lot of fun to play.

"...takes the best of the FPS, RTS, and RPG genres and blends them seamlessly into an extremely addictive and complex experience."

wow, that's totally exaggerated. wouldn't even mention the fps part which is almost non existant and very disappointing, hardly any weapon requires skill to use. the base construction in rts mode is very limited, the tech research automated, all you do is supporting field players (like in battlefield 2). the rpg part is important although not much in depth. fps fans will be disappointed, rts fans too, some rpg fans will love it though.

savage 2 is a rpg melee game with a rts support player. it does take parts of fps, rts and rpg but certainly not the best ones. savage 2 does the genre blend quite well indeed but the result of that blend is neither very addictive nor complex.

Very basic gameplay, tethering multiple different genres, those being First Person Shooter, Roleplaying Game, and Real Time Strategy. It rarely impressed me back when I played it in 2009, still barely impressed me again in 2011, and now I'm almost certain, this game is just another generic multiplayer game.

That isn't to say the game isn't GOOD. It manages itself very well, and the connectivity isn't so terrible either. It just comes down to how little there is to express yourself with.

You start the game, pick a class of whatever side you're playing on, vye for points of interest on the field against the other team, gain funds to either give to RTS commander, or use it to respawn as a more powerful class, depending on how well you and everyone else plays, you win or lose the match.

It's kinda like League of Legends in a sense, except there is more to it than just taking down turrets and eventually the enemy base.

Some people will like this game, and others will not. It's just that type of game.

To sum it up, S2Games nerfed the (player) skill parts of Savage: melee, FPS, RTS - and added RPG (character skill) for girls.

Did Savage 2 attract any pros? Good old times:

Too much item crap and the commanding mode is dull. Most of the matches take a hour or longer and the meta game is always the same. Savage 2 is full of XP whores and Malpha farmers. There's not much left of the skill based arcade-strategy gameplay.

Savage 2 failed at being accepted, played and supported by the Savage community.
Savage 2 failed at being a competitive game with an active clan scene.
Savage 2 failed at bringing the skill and depth of Savage to the next level.

When the core devs of Savage left and created Project Offset, I think some of the magic left S2games.
Still a nice game, 9/10.
