About Savage 2: A Tortured Soul
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a fast paced strategy shooter that takes team based game play to another level. Each match is a war for dominance where two teams of 5 to 32 players attempt to destroy each other. Assume your position as a fighter, armed with swords, guns, and magic; or take the field as a support character that builds, heals, and resurrects fallen comrades. Or take control as the leader of the action, the commander, who builds, researches, expands, and tactically strategizes your team's efforts.
