Multiplayer notice: Sacred's multiplayer servers (Internet) are no longer functioning, therefore multiplayer is only possible over a local area network (physical or emulated).
This game could have been sooo fun. Large world, tons of loot, tons of foes, epic mood. A bit week on the artistic side, it also feels a bit old and clunky.
The real killer, as many have already pointed out, is level scaling: no matter how strong you get, the monsters will always match your level, so you'll always feel powerless, no matter your level and skills.
Forget it, and go buy Diablo 2.
I played 150+ hours in this game and I will play much much more. I played Sacred also hundres of hours years ago. Character development can be little tricky but with good character game can be easy even at highest dificulty. Hand drawn graphics is so gorgerous in this game, music and sounds are also very good. Gererally game run great with dgVoodoo but in Windows 11 can be problem with Explorer at game exit sometimes. At Windows 10 I don't saw any problems. Game also have pretty low requirements even to run with dgVoodoo when run smooth on i5 2500K with GeForce 9500GT when I tried on my older PC, I don't had any problems with 3060Ti with latest drivers on my main PC.
I see a lot of reviews mentioning it being short. Yes, both Campaigns are short. But there are so many things to do outside of them. Clever little side quests, areas to discover, such as Pac-man, Jason's Machete... A game where even the devs didn't know everything because so many were involved.
I never saw the issue of high level melee characters having trouble with groups. If anything, that was where they shined. If you're surrounded by enemies, that means they're in lots of trouble. Smash them with a combo and level up out of it.
Does it have flaws? Absolutely, but show me a game that doesn't. I played several hundred hours on disc, and had not a single CTD. A few weird bugs, like the skateboard horse, but at the end of the day? Totally worth any price you pay.
