I was surprised by how much gameplay the developers were able to stuff in 5 minutes of game time. The game can be played either in Tussle or League mode. The former throws you into the arena with nothing else to worry about except for the game at hand. League mode places you among other teams in extended league competition. In this mode you must concern yourself with training your players and keeping them healthy from game to game.
Goals are plentiful.
Savage Arena also stresses the individuality of each team member. The ability level of each player varies from category to category and the game tries to make a big deal out of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your team members. However, the problem here is that it is impossible to tell your players apart while in the arena. The game would do well to adopt a numbering scheme or some other system for identifying individual players during the heat of competition. All in all, this is a game that shows a fair bit of promise.
