Sacred Gold is Golden.

I played the living daylights out of this game when it first came out, then tore myself away to play other offerings in the genre. Having played every similar title, before and since. Lately, I found myself missing the addicting, and fun game-play, so I reinstalled. It's love all over again.

I can't put my finger on what this game has that so many others don't. I think it's just a fine combination of a lot of things, masterfully rolled into one. I'm not going to bore the reader with highpoints that have already been covered here, let me just say, that this game grabs you, and you won't want it to let you go. Bottom line is, is just fun. Period. The kind of fun that makes the hours slip away.

It's worth mentioning too, that I've never seen 3D and 2D graphics combined in such a beautiful way. The game is gorgeous. There are day and night cycles, there's fog, realistic shadows, etc. If there is to be a Sacred 2, I sincerely hope they don't go totally 3D.

Anyway, grab Sacred Gold. Don't even think about it. Download the 2.28 patch as well, which will allow you to play without using the disc. The only downside is finding the time to play this huge game as much as you would like. You won't find this kind of value for money anywhere else. Nor will you miss the questionable quality of recent 'rushed' products with more style than substance.

Strong game - so-so documentation - OK support

This game has the overall feel of Diablo, but is far more complex. The main attraction is that the world is not linear. Whereas, in Diablo, Dungeon Siege, etc. there are levels and paths with set boundaries and the adventure moves along them, in Sacred the main quest gives a structure to the game but the world is wide open. Your character will warn you if you stray into an area where the baddies are just too bad for your character. You can still go there, just have a good SAFE save game handy.

Deviating from the main quest to find and complete sub-quests is encouraged, actually, it is virtually required. If you hurry through the main quest you will wind up under armored, under armed, and under skilled to meet the challenges of the latter parts of the main quest. So, go save a few peasants, kill a few rabid wolves, save a village or two from an orc invasion, whatever to build up your character so that you can challenge bad guys with some level of confidence.

Gold includes Underworld and Sacred Plus so you can go online without much hassle over upgrades.

The documentation with the game could be alot better. There are obviously informational things going on in the game that you don't know the meaning of the symbology and it is never explained. This doesn't interfere with game play.

Email requests for support are answered pretty promptly with good answers.

As it is a 2004 game there are not a lot of online players.

Sacred 2 is due to come out late in '08 if I rememeber. I like the game enough I'll undoubtedly buy it.

More than I expected

Game is a great enhancement to Sacred. The new storyline is interesting and the clues are challenging to find. Opponents are tough in the Underworld. I would wait until level 40 rather than 29 to go there.

Too many Monsters but fun

I currently own Sacred and Sacred Underworld expansion pack. I was happy to find out I could export my character from Sacred to Sacred Underworld. I have been unhappy with the fact that after you have battled and beaten all the baddies to reach an objective, you have to battle them all over again to get out. Maybe I've been spoiled by games such as Divine Divinity and Neverwinter Nights where once these things are bearten they stay beaten. I,ve heard that they are releasing a new updated version on DVD that supposed to be more balanced. I will probably give these two to my nephew and get the Gold edition as overall it is a really good game although frustrating at times. Charlie Spivey.... Richmond Va.

A true rival to Blizzard's Diablo

This game is amazing and I never tire of playing it. I found the original "Sacred" for $9.99 at Walmart and decided to try it out. I was not disappointed. This game has so much going on. There are quests, sub quests and seven characters to try out including a battle mage, a dwarf and a dameon. I've played as each and since the gameplay changes slightly with each character I have yet to finish an entire game. This is why I love it. You don't have to follow the quests exactly and this can mean loads of fun. The overall world of Ancara is so big I wonder if I'll ever explore it all.
Try out "Saced" Gold it has both the Ancaria and underworld games and you can import characters. It never gets old and the game itself is beautifully designed.

Raising the standard for RPGs

Sacred Gold Edition raises the standard for RGPs. The game has a large layout with a variety of terrain, scenery, foes, and hidden secrets to discover. Additionally, the game features many side quests and challenging foes to defeat. Although it fails in comparison, I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Diablo.

exciteing, addictive, challenging, best game i've ever played

This game has been impossible to find since it's one of the older ones but my family loves it and I was very excited to find it on your site. We had one copy from a few years ago when it first came out and because it's so popular at my house we needed it for the other computer as well.

Sacred in General

The game Sacred was, in my opinion, a very boring game. I bought this game because of the good reviews it had gotten and how it was much related to Diablo II: LOD. I used to play Diablo II when I was about 10 so I decided to buy the game. I wouldn't be able to relate Sacred to Diablo II in anyway. I only played single player so I am not sure about the multiplayer game play for Sacred, but after playing the single player I don't think I would want to anyway. I may not like this game because I have gotten used to Guild Wars, but Sacred it not at all as fun as Diablo II.
