Sacred Gold

What a drier and unmerit age of drire and meritful deed it was alas my friends had installed it in the language of germans which is indeed german and we were explained what was what when we were talking. Great Joy has cometh of it. Would recommend indeed

Works perfectly unlike the steam version

Fun little hack and slash game much like Diablo 2. If your looking for a good game to tide you over till Diablo 3 then pick this little gem up.

I actually played Sacred before I got around to playing Diablo II, and I still like it a bit better. The combat etc. has the same clicky-clicky feel, so fans of Diablo will feel right at home. A few of the highlights: *Crafting/modding equipment: it works, it's easy, and it's needed, especially if you want to survive on the high difficulty settings. I hate how crafting items is rarely useful in Dungeon Siege II and other games- if you can't make an item any better than what you have already just *found*, what's the point? *Soundtrack: it's been a while since I played, but it was great. *Open World: you feel a lot less constrained than in Diablo, and having a world that isn't randomly generated has big upsides in terms of giving the game a more solid feel, while still being HUGE and intimidating and exciting to explore. *Character Classes: there are several, and they are very cool and different. One downside... Sacred only runs at 1024x768 max. At that resolution, it looks gorgeous, but scaled up on an LCD... not so much. I'm seriously considering buying a digital version here from GoG for my netbook. I own the CDs, but having a version not requiring a CD for install/play would be great.. Also, I would say Sacred 1 is better than 2, if only because you don't have an annoying 3D camera to deal with all the time...!

I first began to play this in 2004 when Sacred was new with no expansion and I got immidiately hooked. I used to love the Action RPG genre as I was a big fan of Diablo 2 and the new discovered feature in Sacred was simply awesome; no mana and only cooldown which can be lowered with items and skills for all characters. I have no finished it perhaps four or five times and have put perhaps more than 300 hours into the online game which sadly was shut down when Ascaron got bankrupt. I think it's still possible to play Open but you can easily cheat which is not as good. The story isn't the best and most deepest when it comes to RPG genre but it's still decent I found the bad guys awesome, especially at the end. The game is no casual and should be played with friends with a good tactic.
