Many different and very interesting classes and characters to choose from
An engaging storyline viewed from many different perspectives
Multiplayer notice: Sacred's multiplayer servers (Internet) are no longer functioning, therefore multiplayer is only possible over a local area network (physical or emulated).
The beautiful game from Diablo's clones series.
Perfect who seeks discreet and very good designed game with isometric hack&slash.
The game is beautifully graphical designed, nice surroundings, different classes and races, intuitive way of character development.
Should add to this the large and diverse open world, unobtrusive long story, a lot of side quests, itemhunting.
In my view the first part of Sacred is much better the next parts.
This is probably the game I have spent most time with and even it's 6-7 years old it still has lasting appeal on me. The reason for this is maybe in the fact that Sacred struck the right formula: an action RPG with decent main story, tons of side quests and big open fantasy world, begging to be explored and ofcourse mass of loot. Also the hero classes are pretty original and fun to play with lots of different skills to use. This pretty much sums it :P
I only played Sacred as co-op over a local LAN. Original CD version. Overall, I enjoyed the game. I agree with others that the re-spawning made some parts tedious. It wouldn't be a big deal if the player did not have to re-traverse areas multiple times, but you do for the gazillion quests. The world/map is huge. I enjoyed that the character skills were very different between characters, like Diablo II. I was sad to see that the vampiress was not available in later add-ons. (and that my experience points did not carry over. Perhaps that was fixed in a patch?)
We also experienced the various bugs that others have mentioned. I don't know how well the GOG version resolves them. We stopped playing because somehow the horses got out of sync between players. Without horses, travel is more tedious. We tried lots of things to get the horses back in sync to no avail. It sucks when one player has a horse but the other does not. We eventually gave up. Due to that, we did not complete the game. The game would be a 4 star to me (for a Diablo-type game), but due to the bugs I dropped it to a two star.
I found this game several years ago in Grace Bros, Sydney. I've played through the Seraphim, Vampiress and Wood Elf. All were wondrous characters.
The game starts off in different locations, depending on player character. Each character has his or her own unique skills.
The world Ancaria is huge, and fun to explore. You get lost playing this game. You got lost in Ancaria. I enjoyed it immensely. It is worth entering Ancaria.
Probably my favourite PC game, despite being a Diablo 2 rip-off, it became a milestone amongst RPGs. Much more enjoable than its successor (and less buggy/hardware hogger), this version includes both Sacred Plus and Underworld, the two expansion packs. The online multiplayer is dead, but it's still tons of fun to play nowadays if you're a fan of this kind of games. Sadly, the are problems due its age, mostly random crashes triggered from specific heroes skills and such, but overall, it's worth the price.
