Great game. Love it.

Some distinctive pros: -There are several different builds with distinct play-styles for each character. They all work and are enjoyable. Ex: a character will have a build for spellcaster, archer and dex-based melee. -Different types of weapons and armor will have different magical and non-magical bonuses. Ex: two-handed hammer with bonus damaged based on percentage of your strength and a one-handed sword with bonus to accuracy and dodge. -Very customizable game: choose attributes, skills, combat arts, and equipment. Make combat art combos and socket your equipment. I have fond memories of exploring the world of Ancaria and doing side quests while listening to metal music. Some cons: If you don’t invest in magic find on your equipment and the trading skill, most of the items you find from enemies or stores is trash. It gets worse on higher difficulty levels. I rarely changed my gear and relied more on my innate build. There was less worrying about the RNG of loot, I guess. Traveling through the map might be slow for some players. With planning, forethought and jumping combat arts it won’t be a problem. But some will feel upset from the lack of portals, warp-to-town mechanic, and move speed. I feel like playing the higher difficulties, gold, platinum, niobium, is pretty boring and pointless. Maybe it’s just me.

Old and Gold

Story is somewhat ok. Great Evil arises, you have to bring peace etc pp. Still a great game gameplaywise. Original language (German) is not available (There are some licensing problems). I heard rumors that in the internet exists somewhere a german patch...

A very well-built and addictive ARPG

Normally "traditional" RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Diablo, etc. aren't my cup of tea, for whatever reasons. But for some reason upon trying out the Sacred demo upon seeing GOG's sale on the game here, I knew within minutes this was something I wanted. The game just does everything as it should be done. Progress is extremely open-ended (if your attention span leaves something to be desired, Sacred's zillion sidequests will definitely work for you), the menus and controls are all very intuitive (easy to pick up, with lots of depth to be explored over time), the graphics aren't too shabby, music is beautiful and used sparingly, and combat/leveling is frequent and satisfying. But most importantly, Sacred is as fun as it is addictive. It doesn't happen for me too often -- but this is one of those games once I picked up, it's something I couldn't keep myself away from (indeed, I'm itching to play as I write this). For the original game plus two expansions, and minus the DRM it originally came with, this is a steal. If you were on the fence about Sacred, try the demo -- there's a good chance you'll surprise yourself with how much you like it.

Great action rpg with open world

Sacred Gold is an open world. You can just go anywhere and do what you want. In each place, there may be people who give you a mission, and you can do it and get rewards. But if you don't want, you can just do what you please and wander everywhere and get treasures, kill monsters, and discover places. It's very fun because of that. You don't have to follow a boring dialog, a long story, or anything. If you want to, you can too. But you are not forced to do it. The game is also so intuitive, that if you have some experience, you can just play it, and usually everything is easy to use. This is the perfect game for people whose life is not devoted to play a game, or for the person who plays different games often. This is something not usual today, and you will enjoy it very much.

Happy Grinding!

Played this online co-op and got maybe half way thru. It's a perfectly reasonable grinding, action RPG, but to me it got sunk by its sameness. The storyline wasn't particularly compelling but, even worse, the character customization, my favorite part of any RPG, just wasn't that interesting. Bash away at countless enemies, and then continue to do it more. Just a little too much grinding for me without enough strategy or character growth. Probably more like 3.5 stars, as it is above average but I wouldn't put it into the 4 out of 5 stars category.
