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.
