Interesting world ~ Sacred

Not bad game, graphics of the environment you play are quite detailed, although a little bit repetitive. Probably about 1/2 way through the game playing vampiress now. Awkward access to potions when you want to use them on accompanying characters is frustrating and there are some bugs on the version I'm playing (unable to complete some side quests). Otherwise great, particularly that most the world (Ancaria) is open to explore at your leisure, rather than available only after some prerequisite missions have been completed.

this is a fun game with a lot of cool features (like the option for horses). The gameplay is a little rough at times, and the storyline is barely there, but it makes for a good rpg style hack 'n slash. Multiplayer is definitely rough, with no party options and no clue where anyone else is. Overall good game, and a good start to the Sacred series (no, I haven't played the new one yet).

Awesome! BRilliant! GOt it! Love it! Nicely addictive, & inspiring...

Easay to install, pretty gool graphics and sound effects & music. Easy to fall in love with.
Addictive too. I am fairly picky, but this one sure measured up (unlike Divinity, which was a let-down game, that one was). Unlike anything I have played before, much better. Like darkstone, but way, way better. Beautiful. Easy controls, intuitive, FUN (and bits of humor).
The only drawbacks are tiny characters and buildings on map, & i wish it moved a tad faster. I guess a better vid card and/or processor w./ a larger monitor screen would fix that (installed on P3 of 800MHz with ATI9250 Radeon pci 128mb w./ T&L- i think an 03 or 05 Vcard/graphics card- and 512 ram, which is now 1BG Ram, so that should eliminate the ever-so-occasional lagging, mainly B4 combat or during, but easily corrected by zooming in, which is WAYYY cool, like Darkstone by JoWood, and which you can do at any time). The 2nd reason i gave 4stars & not 5 was the intricate, slow building process, only a bit repetitive, of killing the same orc armies over & over, albeit a different vast landscape, in order to gather money coins to (bummer) find your way back to a store to upgrade equuipment.
Character upgrades are mostly automatic, but i think there was some leeeway as to how you tailor abilities, which spells one chooses and which attributes to increase.
Riding on (2x faster than running) and attacking (though slower) , and even charging orcs with a HORSE-- ya, a real live-looking one you can hop off of and on at any time indefinitely. The water and lakes and flowers are rather pretty. Awesome music and battlecries. Devastating (and customizeable attack packages of moves, and othjer powers/ combo attacks: lightening flashing multiople chromatic swooshing arcs of color with sound effects as you swing your blade. You keep saying , "Wow! Neat-o, cool!" Characters do cool jumps, kicks, and somersaults too. The magic is woven in with the attack/ fighting.
You can even pick which of the detailed characters to be. The storyline is coherent and pulls you along; quests are inter-related. The way characters react to you improves as you conquests build your fame. There are even some teleportation arches scattered around. This game is dangerous fun for wasting hours you might never miss. One of the best ever. The only old school thing about it i noticed was the tediousness of the store where you buy equipment and upgrades (a grueling, ongoing experience), and the pop-up chat dialogoes of all the npc's. Note, this is a top-down 2-D view, though you can rotate 360 & zoom (not as much as Homeworld though, another good game but i can't get past ch./lvl 3 or 4 on that one).
This game, however, is winnnable, with tactics of attack, retreat & regenerate, then go back for more-- mainly a time investment & common sense, and being a good shopper, and sometimes you pickup NPCs that tag along and fight with ou/ for you, alongside (automatically, following you). NO need for any walkthrough [Thank Heavens] OR for any cheats! How refreshing, huh? The game offers a lot of freedom. Enjoyable to play. You'll love it. Easy to figure ot. Offers re-spawning where you left off at if killed. Character regenerates health & magic (mana).

Still fun years later

I got this game soon after it came out and really enjoyed it. Now my kids are into it, and though the graphics look a little dated, it still looks really good and plays well. I played on Bronze level the whole first time through, now I'm trying a different character on Silver and it plays very differently. Each character has their own flavor, fighting style and lots of fun animations and effects.

The only downside is that this game can have some real trouble starting up if there are other apps running in the background. I've found that mouse pointer software, any kind of cpu cycle-sharing program like folding@home, and some full-time virus/malware scanners can really slow the boot-up of the game. Once it's up, it's smooth and runs great.

This is a lot of gaming bang for the buck. It runs well on older computers, has a patch that adds many more square miles of map to explore, has an active modding community even now, and goes beyond just following in Diablo's footsteps. Fun, replayable and interesting, years after its release. I think that's what you call a classic, isn't it?

Sacred is an RPG of the highest class. Was selected as Game of The Year. It is big and Expansive. There is no correct way to play the game. The main Quest must be done in correct order, aside from that you are free to do wherever you want, Many many side Quests.

Sacred Gold must be installed on your Computer in order to load and play Sacred Underworld, which realyy expands the game.

For Diablo fans!

I don't know what to say. This game is just totally amazing. I gotta say to you, after I started playing this game my life got better. My mom won't let me play any games unless I got good grades so now I do better in school instead of failing like other reviewers who plays games and also I can finally play a real Diablo clone! Like it says in PCgamer review (82% rating for PCgamer magazine), I also trully think this is the first well made Diablo clone and everyone who is a Diablo fan will love it. It might not have everything that Diablo has but it sure does come close. And this time you can play up to 16 people online instead of 8 people which makes it more fun. In my opinion, Sacred's single player missions seem actually better than Diablo's single player missions. The multiplayer is about the same but Diablo still stands on the top. Just think of this game as another great expansion for Diablo 2 with better graphics, better single player levels, and up to 16 people online. You don't even need good computer to run this game. My recommended system for this game is only P3 1ghz, 256mb ram, and GeForce 4 or Radeon 8500. It didn't work so well on my cheap Celeron 897mhz, 256mb ram, and GeForce 2 but I finally got a new computer last month to fully enjoy this game with no slow downs or bugs. My new system is AMD Athlon XP 3200+ , 512mb ram, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 256mb video card and I ran the game on highest settings. This game a trully one helluva game and any Diablo fans or RPG fans should definitly get this game.(...)

This game is nothing but standard RPG hack and slash. Nothing new here, yeah big deal I get to ride a horse! The creators of this game try to make up for their tedious title by spanwing you to death. That must be what they think imagination is. Its been done so many times it let me count the ways. And I am really getting tired of this isometric view, why can't the user have the ability to rotate his view. If you want the same old stuff this is your game, if you want something that shows someone put a little effort into, skip this title.

Bugging, Problems, Huh???

I just bought this game is it is awesome. Like others have been saying, it basically is Diablo 3. The game has very unique single player and multi-player modes. For single player you can go through and enjoy the storyline and explore each area to it's fullest. When playing online, you pretty much get in a party (or solo) of 6 people and kill everything in sight. The story is pretty much gone, but it's fun to explore the lands and vanquish powerful foes. Lastly, I would like to say to all though experiencing problems, GET BETTER COMPUTERS! I have been playing the game on and off line for several weeks now and not once have I had a crash or glitch. I don't know why you people have been having so much trouble, the game runs perfect for me. ANYWAY, THIS IS A MUST OWN GAME!!!
