Now on Steam - Savage 2: A Tortured Soul

S2 games’ RPG Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now available on Steam.

Independent game developer S2 Games brings their cross-genre sequel Savage 2: A Tortured Soul to Steam. Savage enabled players to opt for either the fast-paced, run-and-gun action of a first-person shooter game – playing as a Warrior – or the more cerebral and tactical planning of a real-time strategy game – playing as a Commander – working together as a team to defeat the enemy. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul builds upon the addicting, fast-paced gameplay of the original with additional squad-based features and enhanced role-playing game elements which enable players to build their character level and abilities throughout the game.

To celebrate the launch, S2 Games will be offering a five dollar discount on the download and purchase of a Savage 2 from now until May 12, 2008. Pick it up today for just $24.99.
