Story: Human vs Beasts. Fight for your right to live!

Missions: Mainly slay the enemy race and everything along the way, including buildings, houses, environments, and ultimately the enemy's main headquarters.

Controls: Easy to learn and execute in close and ranged combat.

Features: Many classes from the common (rangers, healers, warriors) that builds up points for higher classes such as Benomoth (Huge Freaking Troll, Check picture above!) and Siege Catapults (for destroying buildings)
Awesome RTS-FPS combination that allows ranged players to fufill their FPS needs, regular players their 3rd person wishes, and for the RTS guru, the commander mode which allows one person from each race to command (if your team listens...well that's up to them) and guide his or her players to victory.

A.I.: None really, all enemies and allies played by real players.

Loading Times: Medium. Nothing really fast nor long.

Graphics: Very good for an independent engine and developer. Props to S2 games!

Audio: All your normal grunts, screeches of pain, and battlecries.

Multiplayer: Only. Works well; however, there is a single player tutorial and practice mode that allows you to practice against single monster types.

Requirements: $30 and a Average PC.

The Good: A great sequel that shows that hard work pays off.

The Bad: Unique in it's kind. Maybe too unique, so much so that this game may slip under many people's radar.

The Ugly: When your 5 hour, free trial ends. Time to pay up!

Replay Ability: High.

The Bottom Line: If you liked Savage you will not be disappointed. If you want to try a new online multiplayer game that combines FPS-RTS-3rd Person, drop the 30 bones for this game.
