Excellent Click and Slash

Having never played the original release, I took a gamble on this one, as you never know what you're going to get with a "Diablo Clone". I do have to say, this game is an excellent "Click and Slash" adventure. The class selection is very good, with a wide variety of different heroes. The game itself is chocked full of baddies, loot and plenty of slash. Sacred did a great job of including multiple abilities for each class to help break up the clicking, and include a little strategy. Overall, the interface is very nice and easy to use, as are the maps, quest tracker, inventory management and character sheet. The graphics have also held up very well, and when run at higher specs, look very nice. Even on a lower end machine, Sacred is a very pleasant game to watch. Combined with the detail to the environments and characters, I would rate Sacred as a "must by" for those RPG players, looking for an easy to dive into game to whittle away a few hours.

IS compatible with Intel graphics cards

I beg to differ... My friend asked me for help with running this game. Windows 10, Intel Core i5-10500 Processor with built in UHD Graphics 630. Install Sacred Gold .. and then: 1. Instal Mod Sacred ReBorn: https://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/652-sacred-reborn-hd-mod-by-overlookers/ 2. Follow mod instructions: Added possibility to change the resolution of the game. To do this, in the folder with the game in the settings file “Settings.cfg” (you can open it with a standard notepad) add the following lines (bold text): - SR_CUSTOM_RES : 1 (value 1 turns on custom resolution, value 0 turns it off) - SR_HEIGHT : 720 (or half of your native screen res) - SR_WIDTH : 1280 (or half of your native screen res) 3. Instal dgVoodoo2: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ - Download and unpack dgVoodoo2_63_2. - Copy dgVoodooCpl.exe and everything from folder MS sub folder x86 to game directory. - Open dgVoodooCpl.exe - click ".\" - in DirectX tab set: Resolution x2 ; (optional: Filtering: Force anisotropic x16) 4. You have now Sacred Gold in High Definition and wide screen without streching. So far he is happy and the game roons smooth and without glitches. Enjoy :)

At the end it sucks

The world is huge, and i mean really huge. And this is the first Task: Getting to your quests. Sometimes you get stuck in the Woods because the path is ending in the middle of nowhere. Or more annoying, you have to cross a river but no Bridge in sight and you Keep on searching and searching. But this would be endurable because the graphics are imho still ok and the classes offered (seraphim, vampiress etc.) are quite interesting. But that what I really began to hate most and made me finally give up playing is that you have to fight waves after waves of enemies without an end in sight. Often you don't have time to orientate yourself in the map. And running away makes it just worse because Monster inc. will Keep on pursuing you and finally catch up when you get stuck. Using a horse might be a good idea but not if you Encounter hordes of wizards that cast Holding spells. Even if you clean your path you'll face again the same enemies on your way back. Best is when you return into a cave immediately by accident. Guess what you get. Same enemies, same shitfight. The game has its moments, sure. But they get drowned in hordes of enemies popping up infinetely. As for me, this is no more fun. It is not even annoying but just boring and frustrating. And at the end I regret wasting so much time with this game. Well, shit happens.

Seaching for a Diablo clone?

Are you? If so, just go back and play Diablo. Picked this up on a deep discount at GOG and likely overplayed for that. The only reason I can see to play this game is nostalgia if you enjoyed the punishment the first time around. Certain games you would play because its legendary and you missed it somehow the first time around. Others just because they were fun as a kid. This is definitely only for the folks that would choose option 2.
