Great Game
Well I haven't bought sacred from gog, but I still have (and play) my original copy of sacred /w underworld expansion, and I must say this is a great game. There is a closed .net multiplayer hosted by ascaron servers, and a great community that still plays this game years after its release at the official us forums http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com Grab this one as it's a real gem!

$10 well spent!
I picked up this game knowing very little about it - I just wanted a fun, mindless RPG. For the price offered here at GOG I figured I couldn't go wrong. I have definitely gotten my money's worth! This is a wonderful hack-n-slash RPG with an enormous open world. What I love best about it is the ability to do whatever I'm in the mood to do at any time. Explore the world, grind for XP, work on the main quest, work on side quests, mess around with gear. It's very non-linear and therefore a perfect waste of time for ten minutes or ten hours. Pros: Enormous open world Tons of quests Large variety of gear/items to play with Neutral: Combat system... don't love it, don't hate it. Cons: Crappy manual doesn't explain how to utilize some of the fundamentals of the game in even the most basic sense Respawn rate seems a bit too fast (for my personal taste)

My review of Sacred Gold
First time I played it, it was pretty amazing. Unlike other games as old as this, this game is one of the few where you could choose the character. But when I played this game almost year later I started to notice the flaws. Firstly monsters respawn too quickly (but on the bright side - fast xp and much money at start). Secondly the clicking gets annoying when you kill someone because, when you release mouse button then the character finishes his blow and stands like dummy between attacking foes. And the creatures dropped strange things (wolf dropped gold coins, bears dropped swords). But it wasn't only bad things. Rich main quest line. Whole bunch of side quests. Detailed world. Easy to learn.

A fun game, that quickly gets boring.
Tldr; A game with decent graphics and many nice features. Very large with a huge amount of content and playing hours. However such a huge world has it's content spread out pretty thinly leading to mindly hacking and boredom. A pity as some of the features and gameplay was fun. I feel that I am short-changing this game by only giving it 2 stars, however when I compare it to other games on GOG, I find it hard to give it more than 2, after all even the worst games on GOG are still quite playable. Another reviewer said that Sacred is like a cross between Diablo 2 and Morrowind. While they use this analogy in a positive light, I use it in a negative. The game does not have as good of a story as Diablo 2 or quite as addictive gameplay. Nor does it have as interesting character development (ha) or combat as Morrowind. Some may very well enjoy this game, but I personally found it too open and rather uninteresting, which is a pity. If they had made a smaller but more content filled world this could of been very interesting game but as it is, I got bored after riding a horse around for several hours completing one meaningless quest after another.

Great 2D action rpg - HD patch available
This is one of my all time 2d action rpg favourites. I first played it when it came out back in 2004 and i wanted to re-play it for years now, but the fixed resolution of 1024x768 always turned me off, when i tried. It was ok back in the day on an old bulky crt monitor, i guess, but nowadays with high-res monitors... I was looking for HD patches several times a couple of years ago, but never found anything. Now i finally did! This HD patch will render the game in 1080p and makes it look so much better! I just started a new playthrough, to revive the old times. Here's the link to the patch: https://www.gog.com/forum/sacred_series/german_language_hd_patch_without_rebalancing_here_are_the_links Enjoy!
