Sacred Gold

I remember when kid someone told me: "I don't know if it's good or bad, but people say it's really long", and I fell in love at first sight. I installed, and entered a huge world, free to roam in any direction, only limited by the risk I wanted to take, populated by all kind of mythological creatures, along all types of biomes, and countless items to equip, in a race to improve my character up to an absurd level limit and re-playable in five difficulties. Pro: - Long (if you like it). - 7 classes with unique gameplay. - The biggest world for a single player ARPG. - Many secondary quests for each area and city. - Variety of enemies and items. - A community that is constantly creating mods. Con: - Long (if you don't like it). - Few useful skills per class. - Tangling enemies! (solved with mods, like Sacred ReBornHD) - A guide to not bug some side-quests is recommended. Needs: - A dedicated server (the game is intended to be played online). Want: - A re-master. But! Only if is made by fans, for fans. Please, don’t allow to any company to 'fix what isn’t broken'. The only way we would love a re-master, is of THIS game, not a censored version for the non-existing modern audiences, converted in the fanfic of some snobs believing with rights to change other’s work.

It is a really fun game, with beautiful background sprites. The devs did some really revolutionary things for the time, like combining 2D backgrounds with 3D Models, combining diablolike hack and slash action with vibes from games like Baldurs Gate. This is a weird chimera but in a creative way. The "combo" system though is really boring. you have a set of abilities for each character but only a few slots for quick use, so you have to go to a combomaster, where you can chain together 4 abilities for gold. so now you basically have a makro you can use to use more then just the few quickslots that you have. this opens opportunities for personalisation, but really it is not very much fun to do this imo. I played this as a teen and out of nostalgia I tried it back out. and I still feel it is fun to play and i guess I will do a full playthrough again.

Sacred 1 was one of the first games I played after getting a PC, and I used to spend hours immersed in it. Although the game shows its age, its mechanics remain solid and enjoyable even today.

Asome old game! It's unique in all apects.

This game really surprised me. Yes the combat and spell system is a bit clunky, but the different start locations, stories and spells the characters have makes this game a very unique experience
