Sacred Review

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Sacred is a good looking and a good action role-playing game, which offers couple of interesting gameplay innovations. It provides an open-ended gaming world for exploring decent cooperative and also a good competitive multiplayer option. It also offers a good mix of goal-oriented questing and fast-paced battles. The fight system of the game is finicky and unrewarding that is a significant problem for what’s fundamentally a hack-and-slash role playing games.

It may be very artificial to describe this game without at least a cursory comparison to the Diablo games because it was clearly heavily inspired by that series. In Diablo games, each of the 6 character types in Sacred has a predetermined gender and also they have a distinct selection of skills that gamers can choose to develop.

Most of the enemies only take a few mouse clicks to dispatch, but gamers will be able to encounter hundreds of foes, including types that will spawn more of their kin if gamers do not take them out.
The monsters of the game are all classic fantasy stereotypes like undead, dragons, and ogres. Gamers can use the Alt key to highlight and even immediately locate the seemingly endless bounties of loot they hoard.
