Eons after the human civilization has crumbled upon itself, its nomadic descendants, known as the Legion of Man, are uncovering long-forgotten knowledge and technology. Devastating weapons help them fight a violent battle for their very existence, against a monstruous enemy, the Beast Horde. A race of beings evolved from the wildlife that survived the apocalyptic wars, they use brute force and the powerful magic of nature to punish the humans.
Savage XR, the successor of the 2003 award winning PC game “Savage: Battle for Newerth”, delivers a unique team-based gaming experience, defining a new genre: RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter). As a field player, you will master diverse weapons and units engaged in a fast paced battle. The FPS mode boasts a truly one-of-a-kind melee system, rewarding genuine player skill. In the RTS mode, as the commander of your team, you will manage your economy and resources, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players to battle.

Just wow this is awesome this is The Developers just created this really awesome game i loved it 5 stars for all awesomeness RPG graphics third person and FPS to the Max nothing like any other RPG games this is awesome Keep up the good work
Sincerley,Francis with the GameGang
can you play this in 3rd person?
Yes, Melee is in 3rd person by default, if you want to use ranged weapons that way too, change it in Savage XR Options -> System. :)
Very good, very hard as well!
i think most people download savage xr with wrong expectations.
yes, it is 10 years old, it is very hard and it is still competitive.
and it is very unique. s2games best game by far!
In my book this qualifies as very unbalanced game play due to the fact that being a Beast I could not 1 time in like 200 times no matter what type of Beast score a kill against a human of anytype, not once have I ever played a game that bad balance wise where I didn't have a chance of at least attempting to kill the other team. As a human I was able to get a few kills in with nothing special. What is up with that?!
The game has great looks and is very promising otherwise and functions well, well designed, just the game play needs work.
Savage is being played competitively since almost 10 years now. Just as Starcraft, Natural Selection and many other competitive games, Savage XR is balanced on a veteran level. The learning curve is imbalanced, but the gameplay is not. Learning to play Beasts takes longer than learning Humans, mastering Humans however takes just as long as mastering Beasts (usually about 2-3 years). As a new player both races seem to be overpowered. It really takes longer than an evening to learn the basics as well as judging the gameplay objectively. Did you watch any of the shoutcasts of the Newerth Savage League 5 so far?
OK It plays fine, only the first time after installing it on Linux Mint 12 64-bit.
Now after the updater says no updates found starting application nothing happens, no game ever loads!
I was looking forward to this but if I need to reinstall it before everytime I play it, whats the point?
Apparently I can run it directly from the folder but not from desura.
That's odd as it starts the same damn thing and goes through the updater the same way but works rather than quiting.. O.o
