In a violent age, eons from now, nomad humans roam the
earth, inflicting cruelty on the beasts and creatures of the
world. The human race is wasteful, selfish and fights amongst
itself, while those closest to nature, the beast race, learn
from human failings evolving and growing stronger with the
passing of time. A daily struggle ensues, man against beast,
for the very basic national resources that nurture life. Each
race has its own style of battle, its own leader, and its
own way to victory...
Savage
combines real time strategy and first person action. Multiplayer
fans will love the fact that instead of sending mindless computer
drones into battle, you can organise real human players on
a crusade to conquer your adversaries.
This
is really two games in one and you can play it as a real-time
strategy (RTS) game or a first person shooter (FPS). In fact,
a new category has been created known as real-time strategy
shooter (RTSS).
You
can choose to be a commander, and play an in-depth RTS game,
researching technologies, mining resources, and issuing orders
to their warriors. Or, if being a commander is not your scene
and you'd rather be in the thick of the action, you can choose
to be a warrior (playing in FPS mode) and undertake a game
of first person combat, wielding your weapon of choice to
strike down the enemy. Whatever mode you choose, this RTSS
malarkey has turned out to be a bit of a winner.
There's
also something else you don't see very often, an online multiplayer
game that has been designed to be as accessible as possible
to the average punter. The fairly low specs mean that more
people will be able to play this straight out of the box,
with the minimum of fuss.
When
I say "low specs" that's not an insult - on the
contrary. How many times have you not been able to play a
game because your six month old computer is just too out of
date to process the sound and graphics as they should be?
Savage offers fantastic graphics and sounds, but won't
mean you have to re-mortgage your house to play it as the
designers intended it to be seen. And believe me, the graphics
are fantastic.
New,
and original, Savage breathes fresh life into the gaming
market.
