Interesting and unique game. The bugs and balance issues between the two teams outweigh the good, I'm afraid.

I'll start out by saying that if you liked Savage 1, you probably wont like this nearly as much.

To be fair this game is fun to a degree, but gets old very fast. The melee system requires a lot of time to get use to, and it can be a very...shall I say painful experience untill you get good enough to compete with the few people still playing.

The real issues are the imbalances between the two teams. You can either choose to be on the human side, or the beast. The humans tend to be more range dominant compared to the beasts; every unit has several ranged weapons that all work quite effectively.

However the units themselves really don't make a whole lot of sense. For example, the marksman who one would assume to be the best at ranged actually has by far the worst ranged capability out of both the human and beast units. This game is really all about the melee. If you suck at doing melee damage and fighting other players then you seriously can't be of much use to the team..which imo is a big downfall to the game.

The lack of variety of things to do is what keeps me from playing the game. Only one game mode. Most of the 10 or so maps are pretty much the same. Rush the middle and whoever gets it first usually wins the match in the end.

Anyway, if you prefer to be the more realistic faction in games, like say the human team, you will be very disappointed. No matter how many times they patch the game the beast side is always superior in most aspects of the game. Majority of the beasts' units are better at melee than the human units, and some even have better ranged attacks as well. The beasts also have FAR better siege than the humans.

Human siege is either a battering ram or a catepult like machine. The beasts have a giant behemoth unit that has a large tree as his weapon or a tempest that calls down giant fireballs.

Here is the thing.. if an enemy gets near you while you are a catepult, you are screwed, however if you are a behemoth you have 4 different attacks to actually kill other players plus do massive damage to buildings.

The bottem line is untill they balance out the teams, this game is more annoying than fun.

Also if you like being apart of the community of a game, then this will be a big slap in the face. The devs don't do much on the forums except suck it up and appeal to the crybaby elitests that play the game. You will never see anyone get banned... I don't think I have to say anymore than that.
