A day later than planned due to a delay in getting game servers up and running, the Savage: The Battle for Newerth demo has now been released. This game mixes action and strategy, and the demo offers two gameplay levels allowing you to play as the Human Forces. For the Linux gamers among you there is a Linux version of the demo.

Choose to be a commander and you will play an in-depth RTS managing the stronghold, or choose to be a warrior and you will play an intense game of first person combat. With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle.
