This game is great for the RPG player. It is somewhat close to Diablo. If you like that you will like this!

Very nice

I'm a big fan of Diablo 2, but I decided to give it up after 6 years. Sacred and Titan Quest are the closest things to it that I could find.

Pretty Darned Good Game.

Sacred Gold is an OK game, with vast areas to explore and unique monsters to hack and slash. Gameplay gets somewhat repetative, and many of the secondary quests are lame, like searching for cookies for some old lady. The graphics are good, especially for an older PC like mine.

My main complaint is with armor and weapon selection. Many games will let you try out equipment before you buy, to make sure that you're upgrading your character and not downgrading them. Some games even allow you to mouse-over equipment or show you a comparison to see what effects the new item will have on your characters attributes. There is no such animal in this game. You do the math here, and it's not so easy. If you buy a new expensive sword for instance, believing that it will enhance your character, and you're wrong.... you're out a lot of money. The sale price back to the merchant is now a fraction of what you just paid for it. This really lowers the fun value for me. That's why only 4 stars for this game. I'm used to Dungeon Siege 2 I guess...

Also, the NPC and quest text seems to have been written by a group of 5 year olds, with some bad "speling" and "gramer" every once in awhile. Example; "I learnt how to use a sord..." It's kind of funny when you read it, and I guess humor is always good :)

However, all that being said, the game is very fun to play and for the most part, I've really enjoyed playing it. I hop onto the back of a horse and ride to unknown lands killing off bad guys along the way. The Gold Edition is priced right, and you'll find the game to be a great way to kill some time. Works great with Windows Vista Home Premium. Try it out for yourself!

Isometric Excitement

This game is Isometric-style, which means sort of a helicopter viewing angle . Other games with this camera perspective are Diablo II and Age of Empires 2. You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. There are 7 character classes to choose from. Seraphim(angelic), Battlemage, Daemon, Dwarf, Gladiator(tank), Wood Elf, and Dark Elf. The Daemon and Dwarf were added by the Underworld expansion. The gameplay involves close-range, ranged, and magic-based combat. All 7 classes can do melee and ranged, with some better at one or the other. Magic also includes skills, and all classes have skills. Most have some magic too. There is an NPC in the game called the Combo Master. He allows you to make combos- you select 4 skills, a symbol to go with them, pay him the gold needed, and he makes you a combo. You can then use the symbol and execute those 4 skills in a row. The game allows you to ride a horse, as well as engage in combat of all 3 types from it. There are all kinds of different horses in the game, and the better the horse, the more expensive it is to buy. You can also find them in the wilderness, and I hear there are exotic(read: possibly monstrous) ones out there. Who wouldn't want to ride a Nightmare? :) The game consists of wandering around and doing quests, both main and side. Money flows easily. You can make a fortune in 30 minutes, then spend( or blow) it all at the merchant. The gear all tend to have those long names, like Fiery Blade of the Enchanter, that sort of thing. There's a lot less vanilla gear than magical, which can get boring. If they're all magical, it can be hard to tell which one is better. Interestingly, the Charisma stat affects both poison damage and trading prices. Also, every time you level, from what I can tell, every stat increases by 1 point with 1 extra left over to put in a stat of your choice. All in all, I liked the game, because it has what I look for in an RPG- excitement and replayability.

This game is exactly the kind of game I like to play. You can complete missions for a feeling of accomplishment and at the same time advance the larger mission and build up your character. Well worth the money.

While their games have great potential their attention to detail is terrible. Never buy a first edition game from them. Wait several months for them to work out the bugs. I am very computer literate and could not find a way to make early versions work on very standard setup PC's.

Sacred: Gold Edition--Lots of game for a nice price!!

Sacred it a huge game...the maps go on and on and on and on (get the picture). Graphics are on par with Diablo 2 and plays about the same. I really enjoy game play and the many different avatars one can play, especially with the add on adding 2 more.

Abet it is a great game, it crashes--alot--,no tech support (I have emailed a number of times and have yet to have a reply), many quirks in the game, getting trapped in houses, caves, etc., unable to keep your horse as it disappears when you are playing, unable to complete quests by clicking on the person that wants you do do quests, in the same vein, unable to complete quests by getting the item(s) by clicking on it or using the 'a' key, must do the main quest in order in order to complete game, bad saving system--abet there is an autosave, you have to 'dig' around to find the one you are saving your avatar in or you can accidently save over other avatars you are currently playing--, and a few others that are nagging.

On the other hand, compaired to Diablo 2 and similiar games, leveling, finding set, magic, yellow or gold items, are not to bad. Set or green items, are hard to find, but nothing like D2!! There are a number of difficulties to play in and in each difficulty, more items drop that are very nice, indeedy!!!

I recommend this game for anyone that is a D2 fan and is looking for something similiar to play.

Sacred 2 is in current production as of this date Jan 10, 2007.

Awesome graphics!

I was a Diablo addict for years. Now, I know this is an older game but it has some awesome graphics and the format is much more fun than Diablo. It's a little more than hack and slash, and there are some cool quests. It keeps me off the streets at night. My only criticism is that it sometimes hangs up and the program won't work on a new Sony laptop. Other than that, it's pretty solid.
