Savage: The Battle for Newerth

"Apart from a few flaws likely to be addressed in the evolutionary patching process common to most multiplayer titles, Savage edges close to perfection. It accomplishes its extremely ambitious mission of being the first game to truly combine two completely different genres."

"This is a game that could bring a RTS fan to find the fun in the Shooter mode or vice versa. Even if players find that they ultimately still aren’t interested in the aspects of the other genre, it brings the two together in a way that satisfies both."

"Savage's unusual hybrid gameplay is clearly very ambitious, and it seems that in order to really enjoy a good game of it, you may need to find a server where your teammates are skilled and work well in teams."

"Savage is often more a game to appreciate in the abstract than to enjoy in practice, but it can be fun despite its faults."

"Bad tech and questionable gameplay hobbles what could have been an otherwise impressive game."
