Pretty good, but beware

Sacred is almost excellent. There's a lot of fun to be had in exploring the wide world and killing heaps of monsters, but there's one significant flaw if you ask me: the item system tries to be "better than Diablo 2", but it's not very thorougly polished. There's too much clutter and useless items in drops, and another problem is that you may get 10 different kinds of bonuses in one item, but they may all be very diminutive in power. Some bonuses (and skills) have very unclear descriptions, and you have to guess if some things stack or not, etc. Makes comparing stuff hard. There are way too many magic item properties that are obscure and very useless - like "2% of Dexterity Dealt as Fire Damage Against Skeletons" and all possible variations...I realize that people want to try and make different kinds of character builds, but these types of ridiculously marginal bonuses are just too much micromanaging. Also, the dropped items have names that should vary logically according to their attributes like in Diablo 2, but they don't. They are just random, and there are very few variations (there was even some axe that was named "Sword of..." something...) Doesn't break the game, but feels very cheap. Overall the game is haunted with a fair amount of cheesyness. If you can set these things aside however, and not compare too much to Diablo 2, Sacred is quite a bit of fun. The character classes are diverse enough (and the Seraphim has high heels ;D), the combat is fun to play most of the time, and especially with a friend online, one can get drawn in for a long time with this game. There are so many side quests in this game that you surely won't run out of things to do. Aside from the item system, the technical production brings Sacred past average level.

Old School Diablo play

This game tries to be like Diablo but different and succeeds and fails in different areas. This game is not easy to understand. It appears to guide you but not really. First if you haven't played the game, there is really only one class you should play: the battle mage. Second the game hints that you should get as many runes and read/eat them immediately. This is a terrible move as the more runes you eat the less you find. You have to decide your path ahead of time and only eat those and only level up if you absolutely need to (attacks only typically). Runes are for embedding in equipment for the most part. Third there are horses to ride. They give you more hp. They're fast. They're useless. Your attack speed goes way down and, at the beginning at least, you can't out run opponents on a horse. Which means they all gang up on you when you stop. Don't buy a horse; buy tons of healing potions. The main object of the game is to build your character with the right skills, items and combat arts so he or she will kick butt. Explore the beautiful world. The world is very detailed like the world in Diablo with great graphics and sound design. The story is not great but it's mostly background so it doesn't matter as it's not central like in Diablo. At what the game does it mostly succeeds, at what it pretends to do it mostly doesn't. It lacks the polish, the story and the coherence of a game like Diablo. Play it to build your great character, play it to explore the non-randomly generated world, play it to find all the items for your set. Forget the story, ignore the bugs and really pay no attention to what the game recommends you do, and you'll enjoy it.

Great Diablo Clone

Great game and works very well with other people on a LAN. The only problem we ran into is that we had to change the connection speed in the game to ISDN or it gave us an error but that didn't seem to affect the game play at all -- I would assume it's due to the newer operating systems. Very big, open-world to explore. Unlike most action RPG's this one doesn't put up stupid walls restricting your character... everything in the world makes sense.

Good Old Game!

First time playing this gem (2025) and It is a good and fun game. Simple Diablo-like game, beautiful graphics, interisting to explore and to open the map. It has some silly jokes but they are not distracting. 5h playing it and so far so good. The bad thing is that we almost don't get any background music.
