The new melee has been taking place, the game price has been dropped down to $9.99 on official site and STEAM. Demo accounts has NO timer anymore, so it's basically free to play! Yes, the game has been hell' lot of better, totally re-done melee system, new maps, and lots of new features and more to come!


PS: For those who receive a white screen, please update your graphic card driver, it will fix the problem, thank you!


What is Savage 2?
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is the sequel to the often-ignored and rarely-noticed action-strategy game Savage: The Battle for Newerth. It takes the best of the FPS, RTS, and RPG genres and blends them seamlessly into an extremely addictive and complex experience. Anyone who's seen either game in action knows that each match is full of possibilities for epic moments and amazing displays of skill and strategy. Savage 2 improves on the original concept by balancing out key game play elements such as melee and ranged combat, making each character class unique, expanding the quantity and viability of the support roles, and overall creating a more cohesive experience.

Melee Overview (*changed*):

Latest update:

Version 1.7.1
---------------------
Fixes:
- Fixed several crashes
- Fixed a couple of memory leaks
- Fixed an issue on the main browser interface that prevented the scroll bars from working
- Fixed incorrect price tag on the rune builder when you mouse over it

Siege:
- Siege units are no longer slowed when hitting enemy structures

Block:
- The attack speed debuff applied when an attacking player hits a block now stacks and lasts for 2.5 seconds.
* This means that the more you attack a blocking player, the slower your attacks will become
* The movement speed part of this debuff was changed to 85% of normal, up from 60%
* This debuff now allows for dodging and charging (previously you could not dodge or charge with its effects on you)
- The attack speed buff applied to the blocking player when successfully blocking an attack now stacks
* This means that if you block multiple attacks in rapid succession, you will attack much faster than if you only blocked one attack
* This buff now increases attack speed by 20% rather than 15%

Quick attack:
- Hitting an opponent with quick attack will refund that attacks' stamina cost
- Hitting non-blocking opponents with Quick Attack will restore some of the block meter

Jump Attack:
- Hitting non-blocking opponents with Jump Attack will restore some of the block meter


Storm map:
- Lowered some terrain so behemoths can fit under the bridges

I'm downloading now. Supposedly the community is pretty strong with a good 500+ people online.

Man, they did the same thing with Savage but it turned out it wasn't free but actually abandonware or some complicated scenario I can't remember.

Whatever, I love the Savage series.  Aren't the guys who worked on the original game also working on some sort of first person MMO with insane graphics (well, insane when it was announced in like 2005).

Awesome, I've always wanted to play this. I played the first one, but could never really find people to play with (probably because they were all playing this, which had just come out at the time).
Upon arriving the attending doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. After spending several hours terrified that his body had been possessed by a demon, that his next door neighbor was a witch, and that his furniture was threatening him, Dr. Hofmann feared he had become completely insane.

Yea I just played this and it is insanely fun! I had no clue what to do but being a ranger and "going ghost" and blowing up buildings is worth the download.

I've never played any of the Savage games before, but that combat video makes it look pretty damn good. Is this a solely online game?

I played the Savage demo quite a lot a few years back. Was really good having the whole 'RTS/FPS' hybrid and stuff, but there's so many games doing it now that it's not really a feature anymore. I found it got pretty old pretty fast though, and in general every game I played was populated by griefers, exploiters and cheaters. As it's 'free' it's worth a play, though the sequel never really interested me as much as the original.
