Unique RTS in need of a good remake

One of the greatest RTS games ever made. Can be quite difficult, and the campaign has a lot of replayability. There are some problems, but most are caused by limited technology of the time. In multiplayer does the game really stand out. Teaming up to defeat a stronger opponent, just to notice your ally is banishing your altar, always feels as bad as it should. I'm pretty bad at reviews, I just love this game. Sacrifice was one of the first games I ever played, and years later re-found it. Since then I've bought it three times, and gog is the fourth time.

A hidden gem

Often overlooked, this classic is a true original. I cant think of any game since that has tried to emulate it, wich is strange when you consider hwo much fun it is. Strictly speaking it is an RTS, but with RPG elements attached. The growth of your main character is decided by the choices you make during the campaign. This mainly takes place when picking missions. Initially, you will be welcomed by all five gods, and they all offer missions for you. Picking a certain god will give you a summon and a spell at the present tier from that god. So your spells and creatures will vary very much depending on your coiche of diety(s). But beware, the "good" gods wont like it if you side with the evil ones too much, closing of their paths. Dont worry too much though, the gods play their own games and make alliances above your head. Opportunities for shifting alliances and backstabbing might come from unexpected sources. The coolest thing about the game is how different the story is experienced when you replay and choose different gods/missions. Play the game in a certain way and you will encounter the antagonists "right hand" early and often. Pick different missions and you will never encounter the scoundrel, only hear rumors. A common complaint is the difficulty of the game. This 100% dependant on your choice of missions as that control what creatures you can summon and what spells you can cast. Adding insult to injury, some missions are just plain easier or harder than the other choice. If you want easy mode, make sure to pick the mission that lets you summon gnomes. Rather slow ranged unit, but their attacks are instantaneous(!) and never miss(!). Summon these in high numbers, focus the enemy wizard first and you will win any map(except the last one) by soul attrition warfare.

Strong replayability

You play as a wizard who is something of a "mysterious wanderer" at first, but the story develops in snippets as you go on. You complete levels working for one of five gods at a time who give you a power and a summonable creature every level. As you go on, some gods will shut their doors to you and you will take a different path to the final level almost every time. Do you work exclusively for the goddess of life? the blustery fire god of progress and industry? As I learned the story, I could come up with different motivations for my characters choices. OH, and the gameplay is really fun. You can even play the same level in different ways. Definitely worth playing if you never had.

Simply the best.

You will never play a game as uniquely wonderful as Sacrifice. I bought it years ago in a bundle pack with Messiah, which I couldn't get to work on my computer, or any computer since (In fact, I re-bought it on GOG so I could finally play it, but I still can't get it running). It was more than worth the bundle price for Sacrifice alone. Shiny was at the top of their game, and delivered a very special experience. From the great art direction, to the awesome characters who are all superbly-acted by surprisingly big-name actors (seriously, IMDB this game. It's nuts!), the awesome soundtrack (Included with the GOG purchase), and the interesting and branching storyline that plays out through some of the coolest and most intense RTS interface ever. The game is ferociously difficult, almost unfairly so later on, but it's worth it to stick it through to the end (and if you get REALLY stuck like I did when I played it as a kid, there ARE cheat codes for it. It won't make you less of a man). Also, I give the game five stars because I still believe it totally deserves them, but I have been unable to get the multiplayer to work with either this or the Steam version, which is really too bad, because the co-op or versus multiplayer in this game was a blast. (Of course... even if I got it working, I'd still have no one to play with!) If you've never played it, get it. If you've played it before, get it again and remind yourself why it's one of the best PC games ever made.

One more thing...

This may bring a smile. Computer Gaming World reviewed Sacrifice back in the day, loved it, and titled the review "Shiny's Crazy Diamond."
