Replying to Savage: The Battle Of Newerth

Hey Guest.  Thanks for the information.  I've updated the download link, and also added an update note to the review page.

The information on the page for Savage is extremely outdated. The download link is also broken and there's a new website for the game http://savagexr.com/. It has also changed name to Savage XR because of community created content. Better graphics, tutorials, physics and a lot more. Would be nice to see the page updated because it's a great game that is still active 10 years after its release but still hasn't got the attention it deserve imo.

Who here thinks that the guy who reviewed this game is really awsome?

Any way, lag is an issue, but if you manage to find a server with HvH, then it's really good fun, it's just hard telling who is who.

Allegiance was free, yours now. And I don't believe you killed the thread.

I feel like ive killed the thread........  

Im not saying Savage is a bad game, its great fun, I simply prefer Allegiance, but Savage is more of a jump in and play game and teamwork is more about numbers and location then anything to specific, fun to play and it rewards you in game like Enemy Territory the more you do.

One major bad point in the game is that as it is close combat mainly a little bit of lag either from you or your opponent can easily change a fight, I remember playing as a beserker and missing one of those beast thingies (Crawler was it???) but it not getting hit at all.....

Also the mines in the game are amazingly annoying!!!!

Meh its a good game but a better team based game would be Allegiance, screw running around slicing beasties with swords when you can fly big spaceships and shoot stuff.

Hmm mabye I ought to write a review for that if no one else is.

I find that the game is actually really well balanced.   Good players can win on either team.  The thing is, you need to learn the strengths of each side and get used to the reach of your attacks.  When you start playing difficult games you also realize the importance of staying in groups.

The game was kinda mediocre when they charged $30 for it, but now that it's free it's a good game, cause you know, you don't have to pay for it xD

Also, it's still a bit annoying that there are still balancing issues, a smart team of humans can beat the Beasts, but only if the Beasts are being played by average gamers.

Sorry for the lack of quality for the screenshots, I'm bad at taking screenies... And I tought I had a bad computer... Well, can't complain when I can run this game on maximum.

Lack of needed graphic card.
